Finally, proof that running from my problems isn't as bad as it sounds. This project was a massive lift 💪 by @TarenSanders @DanielG12754470 @PaulGTaylor_ACU @BorjadelPozoCr1 @lonsdale_c @stuart_biddle @JordanJsmith88 @jwjmahoney @Vasconcellos_Ro and the rest of the team 🙏

In this new paper, @GSwaryandini et al. present a systematic review and meta-analysis of 53 randomized controlled trials and find that educational interventions can reduce cognitive biases among students. @mnoetel @UQ_News #CognitiveBias #Education https://t.co/TgosJ4s1iU

I wish I was taught better decision-making earlier in life. @GSwaryandini's paper shows we can (and I think: should) teach students to overcome biases that hurt our decision-making One of my best decisions was supervising Ghassani. Kudos to the whole team🔗 https://t.co/sJtImruxvU

We took this tweet seriously. Maybe too seriously. 3 years of research + screening 19,636 papers later: YES, teaching cognitive biases works! 🧠But it's complicated. Read our full analysis of 54 studies and 10,941 participants in @NatureHumBehav: https://t.co/9e5phh9Wlv

📊 Our latest meta-analysis, incorporating data from over 12,000 participants across 7 countries, provides new insights into how changes in daily movement behaviors influence obesity risks across the lifespan. 🔗Full text: https://t.co/138PuCpgvd 👇Explore more in this video.

New @ConversationEDU article: 80% of Australians say preventing catastrophic risks from advanced AI should be a top global priority, but is the government doing enough? A new representative survey of Aussies reveals a big gap between expectations & policy https://t.co/ShPSz5gbQk

A new study by @mnoetel (@UQ_news) + colleagues shows you may be able to walk, run, lift or dance away depression. And the more intense your exercise program, the better.

Screen time is the #1 health concern parents have about their kids, according to some polls. But, how bad is it really? @TarenSanders, the team and I summarise findings from 1,937,501 participants in @Nature Human Behaviour https://t.co/FaAqIXcCCg Brief:

1/ 11 weeks ago I agreed to Chair the UK's efforts to accelerate state capacity in AI Safety - measuring and mitigating the risks of frontier models so we can safety capture their opportunities. Here is our first progress report:

When older adults end up in hospital, why do we keep them in bed? It doesn't decrease risk: it makes many risks worse. It only takes 25 min of slow🚶to improve function. For best results,🎯 50 m/d of slow 🚶 or mix 20 min 💪🏻 + 20🚶Read more @BJSM_BMJ https://t.co/huu12Swes0

Artificial Intelligence is one of the most powerful tools of our time, but to seize its opportunities, we must first mitigate its risks. Today, I dropped by a meeting with AI leaders to touch on the importance of innovating responsibly and protecting people's rights and safety.

Schizophrenia is rare but very disabling. The @WHO list lots of treatments, but not exercise (yet). Our new meta-analysis of 28 studies in @Euro_Psychiatry shows #exercise can help treat schizophrenia (esp. negative symptoms) while also nurturing health https://t.co/4P3k7sD9FB

Can we run from #depression? Yes, says our new analysis of 177 studies and 10,673 people. #Exercise seems as good as therapy and medication, especially for #Dance, #strength training, #running and #walking. Aim for >30mins per day. See our preprint: https://t.co/rhNr9vGwuc

One of the largest and most comprehensive evaluations of a whole-of-school PA intervention- @IJBNPA. We scaled-up iPLAY (with high fidelity) to reach >30,000 students (115 schools). Thanks to everyone involved. Co-lead by @lonsdale_c and @davidlubans LINK: https://t.co/ukoTrIidSv

I wrote about the mind-blowing implications of generative AI, which might be the most important news story of 2022—as a conventional-wisdom destroyer, a pattern-matching speed demon, an uncanny toy, and an “answer engine” to replace the search engine https://t.co/AfgMlcl5bA

If a Nature Human Behaviour paper was a Netflix comedy special by Christopher Nolan, it'd be this paper. Ironically, I can't think of any ways this paper could be better. @PsyArXiv Perfection.
