    …Decompositionism revolves around the use of analytical approaches aimed at decomposing cognitive concepts (words, phrases, thoughts, ideas, emotions, beliefs, etc) into their most fundamental components or features. Jonathan Lee, MD, PhD (@ jonlee112) designed Decompositionism to examine fundamental questions such as:

    What is truth? What is reality? How do we know what we know? How do our brains/minds learn?
    What actually exists in the universe?
    What do we mean by the words, phrases, and concepts that we invoke in daily life?
    What is right vs. wrong? What are our moral obligations?
    What is good vs. bad?
    What is the meaning of life? What is the point of life? What is the purpose of life?
    Does free will exist?

    Research:
    His research focuses on the causes and consequences of, as well as solutions to, rising skepticism and distrust in sources of expert information (e.g., science, health). He has a special interest in exploring skepticism and persuasion at the intersection of health and politics, which includes studying phenomena such as the politicization of science and health, political polarization, filter bubbles/echo chambers, the emerging post-truth world, and information warfare. It also includes seeking heteorgeneity in the findings across particular demographics at high socioeconomic and health risk. He draws on theories and methods from his uniquely interdisciplinary set of educational, research, and professional experiences, including those from experimental and behavioral economics, political science, psychology, philosophy, and machine learning. He is currently using machine learning-based text analytics to explore how trust/distrust in sources of expert information is discussed on traditional and social media -- followed by the use of online randomized controlled survey experiments to test the causal effects of particular persuasion strategies on perceptions of trust/distrust, as well as other important behavioral outcomes of interest.

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry

    BioI am a clinical psychologist from Sweden, currently doing my postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Psychiatry. With over 10 years of clinical experience in Sweden, I specialize in working with patients with severe mental illness, primarily psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. The majority of my clinical work has been done in outpatient clinics for individuals with recent onset of psychosis and I have extensive experience doing cognitive and diagnostic assessments, as well as delivering cognitive behavioral therapy in this population.

    My current research focuses specifically on the menopause transition and severe mental illness. The aim of my project is to assess how this period affects risk of developing severe mental illness, as well as how menopause affects the clinical course for those already diagnosed with severe mental illness.
