🤩🤩🤩 So excited for all the great things to come - @francesghart.bsky.social is a rising star!!

I am elated to share that I will be joining Yale's Clinical Psychology PhD program this fall, under @shirleybwang.bsky.social's mentorship! I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue working with the wonderful team at the CCS Lab, and to everyone in my corner who helped make this happen! 😊

Are you a junior faculty member interested in spending 2-4 weeks at Princeton Psych? Consider applying for our Microsabbatical program! It’s a fully funded visit for professional development and creating long-term collaborations.

New paper from our team: Can ML identify which adolescents benefit most from school-based mindfulness?

In 8,376 students (MYRIAD trial), models detected statistically significant but clinically negligible differential effects (d ≈ .07–.08).

Precision prevention is hard...

This is a topic I've been interested in for a *very* long time (ever since I started doing ML work in early grad school). Grateful I finally got the chance during internship @ MGH and excited to keep working on it!

🥹 too kind!

with @jorsmo.bsky.social @matnoc.bsky.social @drjasminbstephens.bsky.social and many others (not on bsky): Kate Bentley, William La Cava, Jiehuan Sun, Tianxi Cai, Yi-Han Sheu, & Ben Reis!

New preprint! We investigate the risk of algorithmic bias (across race/ethnicity, gender, and their intersection) in machine learning models predicting suicide attempts across 3 clinical settings in over 1.2 million patients.

Very proud that this is finally out!

Come for the new auditory illusion, stay for the brain imaging and speech analysis…..

It’s been a year since this post. Life is…so different now.

Yet, I’m sitting here on my living room floor, with my cold coffee, in the same robe, playing with my beautiful son. Just like I was when I wrote this.

@standupforscience.bsky.social started with a skeet and an idea.

A brief thread 🧵

Stand up for Science Stand up for Science

You would think! We worked on articles of impeachment against him that were introduced 12/10/25 in the House. There is ONE (1) co-sponsor. You can tell your Rep to sponsor the articles here. It takes 10 seconds and you can do it every day.

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

Supremely talented doctoral student Halle Fowler is hoping to put together an ABCT panel related to Deaf and Hard of Hearing suicide prevention or mental health. We have multiple qualitative and quantitative studies on DHH interpretation in mental health settings. We need help finding panelists!

Thank you!!

These murderous goons must be stopped. This is wholly untenable.

On the top of the photo is black test reading: "Measles outbreaks don't make America healthy." Below that is a photo of a woman holding a baby with measles. Below that is an article title reading: "Measles Cases Hit 34-Year High as US Vaccines Norms Crumpled" with a sub-text reading: "Health officials warn more diseases could spike as immunisations fade." Below that is bold black text reading: "SAVE LIVES. REMOVE RFK JR.". Below that is the: "Stand Up For Science" logo.

The top of the photo has large red boxes with white text reading: "ACTION MENU". Below that in a blue box is a link reading: "standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr". Below that is a checklist of three tasks. "1. Endorse our articles to IMPEACH and REMOVE RFK Jr." "2. Contact your House Representative to ask them to CO-SPONSOR the articles." "3. SHARE WIDELY! The more pressure we create, the more changes we can make!" Below that is bold black text reading: "SAVE LIVES. REMOVE RFK JR.". Below that is the "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE" logo.

For the first time in 25 years the United States is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status due to misinformation about vaccines from RFK Jr.. Measles weakens the immune system and opens doors for other illnesses that can become deadly. #RemoveRFKJr, Save Lives.

Man detained in Minneapolis dies in ICE custody in Texas A man arrested by immigration officials in Minneapolis died in federal detention in Texas.

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place.

Live Updates: Newly Released Records Detail Chaos During Fatal ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

Our new piece demonstrates the added value of dynamic symptom networks for predicting treatment outcomes beyond baseline severity & common covariates, with an added explained variance of 9-22% at post-treatment & follow-up.
