Interesting article on psychotropic meds and the pandemic. I had a couple of little things to say. #ee87" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">elemental.medium.com/are-antidepres…

We’re hiring! The UMBC Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Public Health is seeking a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor in Sociology for a one-year, teaching-focused appointment. Please share with your networks! More details are in the job ad:apply.interfolio.com/163555

@Altostrata @JDaviesPhD Horwitz was one of my mentors in grad school! Hugely influential on my work. Although I’m not a fan of self promotion, you may enjoy my book as well: amazon.com/Medicine-over-…

@dtsmith @JDaviesPhD It is. I have that as well.

An awful legacy of DSM culture is that a generation of psychs & therapists now believe its legit (in no time) to shoehorn complex humanity into a crude, pre-established psych-construct, & keep them their via confirmation bias. This isn’t ‘experience’ at work but ‘indoctrination’.

@Altostrata @JDaviesPhD Creating Mental Illness (Horwitz) is a fantastic book.

@JDaviesPhD FYI Horwitz in history of medicine is quite good, e.g. Horwitz, A. V. (2011). Naming the problem that has no name: Creating targets for standardized drugs. Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, 42(4), 427–433. doi.org/10.1016/j.shps…

@DeborahCarr723 @JosephHarrisBU @astokespop @BostonCollege @NUCSSH Congratulations!! What wonderful leadership.

JHSB is very fortunate to have such terrific authors, reviewers, deputy editors, and editorial assistants. Congratulations on our rising impact factors! @JosephHarrisBU @astokespop @BostonCollege @NUCSSH

@MileahKromer Not even a little surprised. Visit the cereal bar for me.

@dtsmith girl I’m here right now. 🫣

The dining hall at UMBC (True Grits!) is right across the street from my office. I love it here.

@MileahKromer @OLDBAYSeasoning @NewYorker Amazing.

Several years ago I included an @OLDBAYSeasoning favorability rating on a poll. And, today, I thank the @NewYorker’s Casey Cep for mentioning my important contribution to the field of condiment opinion research. newyorker.com/culture/annals…

Public health people, we’re hiring and we’re a great university and department. instagram.com/p/C-axKIyR-CE/…

@ATKuperberg Omg this one is amazing!

What 😂

Our Master's Program in Applied Sociology is awesome - we have amazing faculty mentors and our grads do super interesting things! We also offer grad level certificates in Social Dimensions of Health and Applied Social Research Methods. @UMBCsaph @UMBCSocSci

@tomud91 No worries. Smiths are everywhere!

@dtsmith Oops, Dave Smith, dtsmith00. Thanks

Fun to write this blog for #spspblog on men’s mental health with @ProfMouzon and @martaelliott. Our full articles are linked below the piece. #medsoc #Sociology

@jkgadsby I’d be up for the challenge of thinking though how to operationalize the concept.

@jkgadsby Candy milkshake?

@MileahKromer In person. I’ve missed the rush. Even Leo loves it.

I’m currently weighing the convenience of mail-in voting against the fun of voting in person. Decisions, decisions.

@MileahKromer Please don’t lose a finger.

At some point it moved from “I do fun little DIY projects” to “I do home renovations.” This might be the point. Please send tips on the best blade for cutting trim.

@jkgadsby @nicolefonsh Apparently I’m also that man. The National or bust.

@MileahKromer Fully support. Send photos. Just wear a necklace.

Hey professor friends. Thoughts* on a more casual dress vibe when you teach a night class? *less thoughts and more justifying me wearing athleisure to teach my night class.
