Been unusually tired with mood swings and brain fog lately. Finally got blood work done: significant B12 and iron deficiencies. Will take time to rebuild, but I'm fixable with vitamins! If you've been feeling off, this is your reminder: get your labs checked!

Want to feel better after using Instagram? Our new paper shows how. It's not about what you post, it's about how you respond to others' joy. In 4 studies (N=1327), focusing on sharing & caring about others' positive emotions improved mood & life satisfaction.

🚨🚨Overjoyed to announce that my paper on empathic AI has been published in the journal of Communications Psychology! I could not have done it without my amazing colleagues, @vicoldemburgo and @minzlicht.🚨🚨 I hope you enjoy! Link below: doi.org/10.1038/s44271…
What do you think would happen if we told people, right before using Instagram, to respond with empathy to their friends rather than engaging in social comparisons? It turns out this makes them feel better after using the app. See details below!
