False beliefs plague people as they make their most important decisions; Let's change that. Professor @ UMN. All views my own.

@EdmondJ60650318 @NIH And, you're right that talking to vaccine hesitant people is important. We call that qualitative research. And yes, there could certainly be more of it.

[Michael Bronstein @MichaelBronst19]

Here's my statement on the recent decision by @NIH to deprioritize research on vaccine hesitancy: https://t.co/VS7dnAJSKJ

@EdmondJ60650318 @NIH You're right that trust matters. To restore trust, we need to know more about what exactly drives distrust -- what's needed to repair trust differs for someone who remembers Tuskegee vs. someone worried about Pharma's profit motive.

Or as we say in my lab, NOTEARS now --> tears later.

Ever wonder how personality traits relate to biased and inflexible interpretation of ambiguous social situations? Check out this new paper led by Geert: https://t.co/SoxNtoDKk1

New paper: We used a random forest model to prospectively predict continued non-receipt of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines over 6 months. After vaccine intentions, conspiracist ideation was the second most informative predictor. Want to read more?

The lab has outlasted our first supercomputer here at UMN. Here's to many more.

Stay tuned for a manuscript showing how these results are consistent in another sample of at-risk youth (from NAPLS-2).

Stop by our poster at SRP if you want to learn more about causal machine learning, the determinants of suicidality in individuals at-risk for psychosis, and data-driven selection of optimal intervention targets. If you can't make it, here's a sneak peek. @srp_science

[Michael Bronstein @MichaelBronst19]

Using GRaSP, a recently-developed causal discovery algorithm, we find that variables including trauma history and hopelessness are probable causes of suicidality among at-risk youth in NAPLS-3. Data suggested that intervening on depressed mood was best to reduce suicidality.

Inflexible interpretations of ambiguous social situations also predict depression and anxiety symptoms in adolescents, and may augment the effects of negative interpersonal events: https://t.co/JmBMmAe6jT @UMN_Psychiatry @cogniti

On Sunday 10 AM, I will present along with @MichaelBronst19 Wisteria Deng @PhilCorlett1 discussed by @HaynosAF on inflexibility across psychopathology.

[Michael Bronstein @MichaelBronst19]

Interested in a postdoc or RA position at UMN working with intensive longitudinal data and helping to develop neuroscience informed tools for identifying people experiencing suicide ideation or psychosis? If you're at SOBP this week, reach out and let's talk. @SOBP @neuroprsmh

[Michael Bronstein @MichaelBronst19]

@PhilCorlett1 Well deserved, Phil. Congratulations!

This is the first study of SARS-2 reinfection.

The risk of at least one sequela at 180 days increased from 135% after one infection, to 211% after two, to 300% after three.

SARS-2 hits you harder each time.

We are hiring for a fairly unique Program Manager role at the intersection of ML, neurophysiology, and Veteran suicide. Lots of moving parts to watch, huge potential impact. Please pass along broadly!
