More on the story of that retracted paper on “predicting” suicidal ideation that @kordinglab and I identified serious errors in.

It turns out that the review process actually worked as it was supposed to. The paper was originally rejected, with two reviewers raising similar concerns as the post-publication public critiques (including ours) raised. Yet, despite the critical concerns and initial rejection, somehow Nature Human Behavior accepted the article anyway, without checking back with the original reviewers to see if the concerns (which ended up leading to the later retraction) were addressed.

This sort of editorial behavior only serves to accelerate the loss of faith in the scientific publishing.

So excited to share chapter 2 of my dissertation, published today in #NatureNeuroscience. We used movie to capture how the brain represents emotion concepts (e.g., angry, sad, happy, etc) in 5-to-15-year-old children. Two main findings:
First, each emotion is represented in a distinct way across the brain.
Second, activation more broadly synchronizes with age, suggesting that we develop a shared interpretation of emotion cues across adolescence. #neuroscience #science
