So @Conaw gave me the below prompt for @threadapalooza. I'm going to zoom out a bit so my visions make sense to everyone. I'm Dr. William Gunn, PhD in Biomedical Science, researched stem cells, launched Mendeley, co-founded the Reproducibility Initiative, lhelped get #altmetrics going, worked for Elsevier for 10 years, & generally have been making mischief in science and scholcomm for two decades.

I'm here for Susanna and the thousands of people like her battling depression & anxiety while making their way through graduate school. I made it through, just barely. Here's what I wish I knew: Depression has literally thousands of causes and no universal cures. You'll have to experiment on yourself (oh no, don't tell the ethics committee!) to find out what works. Start with physical exercise, sunlight, and decent nutrition. Accept help from supportive friends & family
