Attached: 1 image It’s okay to be alone on Christmas. It’s okay to be sad. The “celebrate or else” energy can slip into toxic positivity and make you wonder what’s wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you. If the sadness feels heavy, please reach out—to a friend, a text, or a hotline that offers a kind ear. Be good to yourself: take a bath, eat something nourishing, drink water. This is a season, not an entire life. Feelings move. This will, too. #Christmas #MentalHealth

Today is a big day.
After many years of work, I’m excited to finally share a paper describing a novel approach to identifying potential breakthroughs in biomedical research, up to twelve years before the breakthrough itself occurs.
