I'm going to use this in a 4th year seminar today. Thanks for the tip, and wish me luck!
Did you know of this meta-analytic website by @pimcuijpers et al. featuring hundreds of RCTs? In the video I'll show researchers (part I) and clients (part II) how to run a systematic meta-analysis looking into the effect of CBT on depression in older adults within 1 minute.

Thank you to all who came out for our first Demystifying and Diversifying grad school applications event! Here’s a pic of our inspiring panel - @Jazz_Demy, @drbeccapr, and Monique Herbert, with moderator @DrJeni_mdlab. One last plug - join @DIVERT_mhsm as an associate fellow!

Congratulations to @markwell_alex on a fantastic MA oral exam. She started working on this project as an RA in 2021. It was amazing to see her shine as an expert on the topic today. Forgot to take a pic so I’m attaching a fun one of her (far right) with some of our lab.
