Today is a great day! Our new paper about the psychiatric comorbidities of #endometriosis is out. Our large-scale phenotypic and genetic study found that patients with endometriosis present higher odds to develop #depression, #anxiety and #eatingdisorders and endometriosis is strongly genetically associated with these disorders. Our findings support that endometriosis is a complex systemic disease.

Associations of Endometriosis With Depression, Anxiety, and Eating Disorders

This genetic association study uses phenotypic and genetic association analyses of unrelated women to test the comorbidity of endometriosis with depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

Hello!

I'm new to Mastodon — figuring it all out and looking forward to a fresh start 🏄🏻

I will start my postdoc in psychiatric epidemiology at the #UCL Division of #Psychiatry in January to study the association between academic pressure and adolescent mental health. I'm interested in #psychology and #epidemiology, especially methods and #statistics. My previous work was on the role of #greenspace in children's mental health.

Hopefully will meet some fellow scholars here!

Hey look, our 10 simple rules article is out now! In it, we discuss the common experience and try to offer tips for those who are new to #OpenScience but took their first course and are now looking for ways to take this knowledge to their institutions and research practice. A huge thank you to @T_Weissgerber and Verena Heise for spearheading this effort, as well as to lovely co-authors https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010750

Ten simple rules for implementing open and reproducible research practices after attending a training course

Open, reproducible, and replicable research practices are a fundamental part of science. Training is often organized on a grassroots level, offered by early career researchers, for early career researchers. Buffet style courses that cover many topics can inspire participants to try new things; however, they can also be overwhelming. Participants who want to implement new practices may not know where to start once they return to their research team. We describe ten simple rules to guide participants of relevant training courses in implementing robust research practices in their own projects, once they return to their research group. This includes (1) prioritizing and planning which practices to implement, which involves obtaining support and convincing others involved in the research project of the added value of implementing new practices; (2) managing problems that arise during implementation; and (3) making reproducible research and open science practices an integral part of a future research career. We also outline strategies that course organizers can use to prepare participants for implementation and support them during this process.

@michelnivard and I have had some fun with an RStudio add-in that uses NLP models to help you write code.

What's next for the 📦? Anybody used it much yet?

#ReferenceLetters for jobs are the biggest gate-keeper in #academia

My week was rough - I skipped applying to an interesting job that would have needed 3 references.

What is wrong with the system:
1. References create a system of life-long dependencies with supervisors
2. They exclude those who are shy about asking for favors
3. Referees have STRONG biases and they play out
4. switching fields is bad

@Odedrechavi wrote about abolishing - I fully agree!

Okay my first attempt at putting a new paper on this platform! It’s open access and freely available here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/07067437221140383 it’s a qualitative study exploring stakeholders perspectives on pharmacogenomic testing for depression, absolutely awesome team involving 3 star patient partners! It offers some really useful insight into the things we should be thinking about as we move toward implementation in the context of a publicly funded healthcare system :) #qualitative #Research #genetics

Just another short introduction: I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of York examining the role of sleep in infancy on later vocabulary, academic success and mental health. I am particularly interested in neurodevelopmental disorders and the interplay between memory and language. But most of all, I like cats and always welcome cat pictures. I also like stats, but mostly cats.
