Just finished my keynote at @conference_2021 on "Mental health: studying systems instead of syndromes". You can find slides & new preprint here: osf.io/bm6r5/. Really enjoyed making a completely new presentation from scratch. 🧵

@EikoFried @GiuTomei @conference_2021 Agreed! Great presentation Eiko!

@GiuTomei @conference_2021 Uff .. thank you so, so much. Really happy to hear, I made the entire talk from scratch (don't think I re-used a single slide from prior talks).
