Really pleased to see this commentary from @glassybrain.bsky.social on our paper. She situates our findings within the immunometabolic depression framework and points to some cool directions for future work, including longitudinal designs and measuring insulin resistance more directly. Take a look!

General career Q: what are the key skills one should learn at each level in academia? Or to put it another way, what are the skill bottlenecks you need to resolve to continue to progress?
