Just posted a new preprint! We uncovered reproducible symptom‑based subtypes of depression.
Findings include:
• melancholic, atypical & psychomotor subtypes
• links between insomnia + weight gain clusters and asthma
• psychomotor clusters associated with Parkinson’s disease

I'm at the Festival of Genomics and Biodata and I'm guessing the organisers just thought why not have an X-wing.
Unfortunately Duolingo doesn't have wookieespeak so conversation was limited
If you've never been to a scientific conference with an X-wing then you're missing out.

School of Mental Health & Psychological Sciences Research & Education Festival schedule
I'm really looking forward to this afternoon's School of Mental Health & Psychological Sciences Research & Education Festival hosted at @kingsioppn.bsky.social
There are two exciting keynote presentations along with 18 lightning talks covering lots of fascinating research.

I recently started my own research team and would welcome any ideas for a group name.
We analyse biological data (genetics, methylomics, metabolomics, etc.) using stats and machine learning to improve our understanding of depression in men and women.
A few ideas we've had are in the next post:

I have a joke about reviewer 2 but after all the revisions it wasn't funny anymore
Thank you! :)
Hello world.
My name is Dave and I'm a scientific researcher focused on depression. I post science content, but also have a life so that ends up getting posted along with some humour and memes. I used to use the bird app before it was nuked so hoping to find something similar here 🤞
