§ 05 — Resources
A working library.
A collection of resources that have shaped how I think about and approach research in digital health, addiction science, and clinical psychopathology. Whether you're a colleague, student, or fellow researcher, I hope you'll discover something useful here. These aren't meant to be definitive — just books, papers, and tools I've found helpful.
