Excited to share my first-author paper in @BMJMentalHealth! We developed GPT-4o prompts for screening in a living systematic review, achieving 100% sensitivity for included studies & simulating a 65-85% reduction in workload. mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/28/1/e…

One of my favorite papers in recent years included this diagram. It shows the impact of controlling for three different types of variables: confounders, colliders, and mediators. With confounders, control is good. With the others, you ruin your result by controlling.

Oftentimes, patients do not come to therapy to change. Not really. They say and think they want to change. It soon becomes evident they want to continue being exactly the person they have been, and living life in the same self-defeating ways—but feel better doing it. Real…

New book on Bayesian Meta-Analysis with Stan code: statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2025/07/15/a-b…

We have an open PhD position in an exciting DFG-AEI project to further develop continuous psychophysics in collaboration with Joan-Lopez Moliner. More info: linkedin.com/posts/constant…

We finally extended robust Bayesian meta-analysis to multilevel settings. Now, you can fit 3-level publication bias-adjusted model-averaged meta-regression models in R (and in about a week in JASP too!)

1/10 ML can solve PDEs – but precision🔬is still a challenge. Towards high-precision methods for scientific problems, we introduce BWLer 🎳, a new architecture for physics-informed learning achieving (near-)machine-precision (up to 10⁻¹² RMSE) on benchmark PDEs. 🧵How it works:
