  Cool I'll definitely watch that. I have mixed feelings about the ACE survey. On the one hand it seems like one of the most important studies ever done. On the other hand, a lot of the data is really questionable if you look closely enough. E.g. are rates of things like suicide and domestic violence really 5x what they were 50 years earlier? (I'm writing this from my phone, but if you look at the actual study and calculate the differences between the cohorts for yourself then you get something like this.) I still cite it all the time though as it seems like the best data we have, although I wouldn't be surprised if large swaths of the data were incorrect.
