Today is International Overdose Awareness Day💜 It is an opportunity to reflect on the impact of overdose, acknowledge the experiences of loved ones, and increase awareness about harm reduction. At REALab, our research explores Naloxone and the loved ones' experiences. More details in the comments.

I’m thrilled to share this preprint with a brilliant co-author team. We describe several crises mental health science faces in the current sociopolitical context, as well as new and previously-overlooked opportunities to make non-incremental progress. osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/nz42x_v1

Pro tip, folks: if you make a figure for a publication, don’t just hand the copyright over to the publisher. Post it on OSF first and then give yourself permission to use it in the first publication and then all future publications. That way, no permissions issues.

The science illiteracy of the anti-vaccine movement has always been overshadowed by its moral bankruptcy and the divisive, polarizing rhetoric that it requires to grift in the wellness industry.

Sometimes when I talk to intervention scientists about #measurement #psychometrics I get the argument “even if this questionnaire has bad psychometrics, everyone else in my field uses it and I want to be able to compare my results with theirs”. Let’s talk about how that is a misunderstanding 🧵 1/6

Pablo Romero Sanchiz @pablorom.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

This is a very important issue, because it might sound like "trashing" psychological interventions or prevention efforts, but it is not. This is how science should work. We have a good idea, we test it, if it works, great, if it doesn't, rethink and retest. With enough evidence against, we drop it.

Really interesting insights on the shortcomings of non-inferiority trials. Very useful but not equivalent to RCTs. And too often are discussed aa if they were, not just for PTSD…

This is great advice for PGRs, ECRs and, in all honesty, all of us. Submitting your first paper(s) can be intimidating and a bit of a nightmare. One of the best examples of “perfect is the enemy of good” that I can think of!
