Just got off the phone with President Trump. In our meeting earlier, I shared my concerns about Columbia student Elmina Aghayeva, who was detained by ICE this morning. He has just informed me that she will be released imminently
NEW: ICE agents reportedly lied their way into Columbia housing, without a warrant, to arrest yet another student.
This comes almost one year after plainclothes ICE agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil at his Columbia residence, also without a warrant. ICE has no place on our campuses or in our streets.

My latest review for @thementalelf.bsky.social discusses the impact of traumatic brain injury on mental health. Research on this theme is limited & flawed. We need stronger science to support better treatments; the effects of TBI can be enduring & severe.

Survivor-Led Research Study CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS The Ripples of Firearm Violence Ethics Approval Reference: R94701/RE001 This research aims to explore the physical, psychological, and social impacts of firearm violence on survivors, their families and communities with shared identities. It involves two components: an online demographic questionnaire and a conversation about your experience(s) with firearm violence via Microsoft Teams. Who? Anyone 18+ who has directly or indirectly experienced firearm violence in the U.S.
Still recruiting for our study on the ripples of #gunviolence!

What does it mean? TBI increases the risk for a range of long-term outcomes, even in mild cases. Precision medicine approaches to TBI management can assist in better outcome prognosis and appropriate targeting of treatments and other healthcare resources.
We assessed evidence quality using AMSTAR 2 + other measures (heterogeneity, publication bias, and prediction intervals). Risk for dementia, violence perpetration, and ALS had evidence of at least moderate quality, pointing to key areas for personalised care.
Current literature assessed the outcome risks of health outcomes in vulnerable subpopulations (children, older adults, veterans, and athletes). However, there is a crucial gap: a lack of reviews on outcomes following TBI in IPV survivors.
We compared risk ratios for various health outcomes in those with and without TBI. Those with TBI are at increased risk of adverse outcomes, especially those with severe injuries.
🚨Just published! Our umbrella review of health outcomes following traumatic brain injury is live in Nature Mental Health
(open access). 24 systematic reviews and meta-analyses covering 31M participants. Suggests long-term treatment is important after TBI.🧵https://doi.org/10.1038/s44220-024-00356-5
African researchers piloted a slew of innovative, low-cost programmes for addressing the troubling shortage of mental-health professionals on the continent. Nature profiles these programmes and how the rest of the world is taking notice. 🧪
Hi Bluesky! Excited to start my journey here.
