Does mental health pass from parent to child? It's not a sure thing: “Just because you have a parent who’s affected by mental illness doesn’t mean that you necessarily will be affected by it yourself,” says @WilsonSylia. @UMN_ICD @tidepoolsinc mspmag.com/health-and-fitnes…

I, too, couldn't stop thinking about this, so I also made my own! A particularly busy (but atypical) week last fall, second year as an assistant professor, in a pandemic, with three young children at home.
I couldn't stop thinking about this absurd figure tonight, so I made my own 🤓 I used to be a conscientious time tracker. These were my average weekly 'productive' work hours in the second year of my T32 research fellowship. (this ended up being a time management 🧵)

And a more typical week last fall - keeping family/life/sleep a top priority.

Excited to share the first major publication of my postdoc w/ @WilsonSylia! Using MZ twins, we find little evidence that adolescent cannabis use has causal effects on cognitive ability or mental health, but that it may impact school functioning & later SES doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2013180…

There are so many wonderful folks who have jumped in to offer to buy more copies of “A Field Guide to Grad School” - please tell your URM or FGLI undergrads/postbacc’s/early grad students to ask me to send them a copy! We still have plenty to give out!!
Ok if @keanan_joyner is taking orders full time now and all I have to do is donate, I’ll add 5 more copies
