Hello!
I'm finishing up my dissertation now and am on the US post-doc market in clinical psychology so I'd appreciate any leads.
My interests are reinforcement sensitivity, depression/anxiety, and LGBTQ+ mental health.
Shameless thread of recent accomplishments below:

Two videos; one on peer review, and one on changes in mental health in the context of COVID-19, including his latest research.https://t.co/lGrF66X77Mhttps://t.co/QjrFFWs17i

In Sept '19, I chaired Jerusalem's first ever conference on LGBTQ+, Orthodox Judaism, and mental health at @HebrewU.

We purposely catered the content to the needs in the field and people responded. Around 200 therapists, from across the religious spectrum, attended. (2/9) pic.twitter.com/t7iWOivJ09

For those interested, here's a lecture I gave on psychotherapeutic approaches to working with religious LGBT+ clients at SBU Psych's child clinical supervision group. Thanks for having me, @JSchleiderPhD!https://t.co/C8ao2eAyVQ#gaymedtwitter #LGBTQHealth #LGBTPsych

I googled if anybody else's sourdough starter has the same name as mine ("Breadly Cooper"). Found this amazing reddit thread. For anybody not sure what to name their new sourdough starter, here's a gold mine of options: https://t.co/XuCjFAIcdG

👉Summary of conclusions of a new study by @AgoraEW @AFRY_global @Ma_Deutsch @gnievchenko (1/17)
https://t.co/YA50FA57Em
The idea behind this study is that future hydrogen demand is highly uncertain and we don’t want to spend tens of billions of euros to repurpose a network which won’t be needed. For instance, hydrogen in ground transport is a hotly debated topic https://t.co/RlnqDYVzpr (2/17)
Similar things can be said about heat. 40% of today’s industrial natural gas use in the EU goes to heat below 100°C and therefore is within range of electric heat pumps – whose performance factors far exceed 100%. (3/17)
Even for higher temperatures, a range of power-to-heat (PtH) options can be more energy-efficient than hydrogen and should be considered first. Available PtH technologies can cover all temperature levels needed in industrial production (e.g. electric arc furnace: 3500°C). (4/17)
In our view, hydrogen use for feedstock and chemical reactions is the only inescapable source of industrial hydrogen demand in Europe that does not lend itself to electrification. Examples include ammonia, steel, and petrochemical industries. (5/17)

I followed @FitTuber advise and got all these #Ayurveda medicines which he outright claimed are '#safer', ''#effective' than conventional prescription drugs for day to day use. These will be tested for #safety first - will undergo GCMSMS, ICP-OES and FTIR analyses.#MedTwitter pic.twitter.com/IS2KrtsoO8
10 drugs, details, batch numbers R given in pic👇. All by @baidyanathgroup exept 1 by https://t.co/tg46sBhJr2
We did GCMSMS, ICP-OES and FTIR analyses on these samples. Here are my 10 safer modern medicine alternatives 2 @FitTuber's untested, potentially harmful #Ayurvedic drugs
Kanthsudharak Vati by Unjha Pharma
@FitTuber: 4 sorethroat, cold, cough
Analysis: Lead 0.54 mg/kg, Cadmium 0.4 mg/kg, Thallium 0.71 mg/kg and industrial phenols.
Low values, but not ideal.
Safe alternative: Levocetrizine & non-sedative cough syrup Levodropropizine
Baidyanath Rajbati
@Fittuber: for bloating, gas
Analysis:
Mercury 1.2 mg/kg
Arsenic 2.25 mg/kg
Male anabolic hormone - hydroxy testosterone+
Curcumin
Talc powder
Safer alternative: activated charcoal+simethicone (non-absorbed, no side effects) or short course esomeprazole.
Baidyanath Bilwadi Choorna
@Fittuber - 4 diarrhoea
Analysis
Thallium 3.68 mg/kg
[fun fact: 10-15 mg/kg is lethal dose for humans. Death can occur at lower dosages] https://t.co/9ozOKROhCK
Fenretinide - synthetic anti-cancer drug
Liver toxic chromium phosph.
Safer: Racecadotril
