For the first time in its 78-year history, the World Health Assembly has called on govts to adopt national strategies on social connection. In our role advising the @WHO on a newly launched report on the topic, we provide suggestions for concrete interventions #PowerOfConnection

Loneliness can affect anyone, anywhere; it’s a public health issue. After year and half of work on the Technical Advisory Group of @WHO's Commission for Social Connection, couldn't be more pleased to see our report launch happening now! . Tune in here:

Should and can we adopt a lived experience-aware approach to AI alignment? To learn why and how, please look at our new paper led by @mohit__30!.
Adverse Drug Reactions are among the leading causes of hospitalizations for mental health issues. LLMs have the potential to detect ADRs and provide mitigation strategies. But do LLMs align with experts? 🤔 We explore this in our work 👇🏼🧵. 1/11

Online disclosures of sensitive life experiences can be liberating, even therapeutic. But platform design and algorithms may result in the muting of such disclosures. For gender-based violence, what can we do to prevent such harms? To know, check out our upcoming #CSCW2024 paper!.
Do survivors of gender-based violence face the same barriers to disclosure online as they do offline? @JCForiest, @shravika_mittal, Kirsten Bray, Anh-Ton Tran, & @munmun10 use mixed methods to study muting disclosures of GBV on Reddit #CSCW2024

Last week I attended an @WHOSTP panel on youth online safety, mental health, and pervasive data. It was held in the "Secretary of War Room." At first, the location seemed odd, but maybe youth online safety is indeed a topic that deserves to be discussed in such a room? :).

What is the best way to spend a Fall Break? For me it is being at the @WHO headquarters and working with amazing scholars, practitioners, diplomats, members of the civil society, and non-profits to chart considerations for loneliness and social connection!

I had so much fun talking with @ebrahim_bagheri about everything behind-the-scenes for faculty life. I wholeheartedly recommend junior scholars to follow the high quality content (beyond this one!) @ebrahim_bagheri is producing about academia and the life around it!.
🤔 Rejections may be one of the most feared aspects of academia. 😲 Many believe they’re the only ones facing repeated failures while others are enjoying all of the success. 👉 Hear what @munmun10 and @PolarBearby have to say about this:
