Using paris is burning quotes in a work meeting during pride month...oh we're queering clinical science.

The way you beat me to blue-skying this

AI therapy is a surveillance machine in a police state Big Tech wants you to share your private thoughts with chatbots — while backing a government with contempt for privacy.

I cannot emphasize this enough: Please do not use AI tools as therapy. Not only is it not a good replacement for actual therapy, but your chat logs could be shared with the government, and I don't think you need a reminder that especially right now in the US, that could put you in danger.

New Viewpoint in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science on the use of the term “normal” in the DSM over time.

It’s increasing, and it’s an unclear term. I found the discussion of this fascinating.

Check it out.

I was wondering if anyone who got a clinical psych PhD in the US and/or got licensed in the US has experience applying for predoctoral internships in Canada. I would love to hear more about what this process looked like from folks who have experience navigating it.

Amazing! Congrats

Some personal news: This fall, I’ll be joining Stony Brook’s Clinical Psychology faculty as Assistant Professor! So excited to start my lab, and hope to accept PhD students next cycle. Looking forward to working with prosp. students interested in computational clinical psychology / personalization.

My annual psych internship rant, now with even more 🔥. The pre-PhD internship is an outdated model that devalues the expertise psych students bring. Now, we may be requiring students to move to unsafe cities and unstable positions, during a stage when healthcare and reproductive rights are critical.

Though we're in a new version of the world where lies are truth, i do have to correct the record and say I won 10-1.

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

Why inflammatory reductionism is a threat to psychiatry (and the rest of medicine) A new world-view is emerging, one which attempts to explain all manner of ills as the result of inflammation or immune dysfunction. While motivated by some

I am an immunopsychiatric researcher and I approve this message.

The importance of the immune system as an input/output of so many systems is why it is a critical area of work.

But that is also why we need slow, thoughtful science to avoid harm.

Extremely excited about our new pre-print leveraging the strengths of hierarchical dimensional models of psychopathology to identify distinct behavior profiles from smartphone sensor data!

Check out @aidangcw.bsky.social 's awesome thread on our findings!

Wanted to share news of the publication of this research paper with @auerbachlab.bsky.social and others. Using the EARS mobile sensing platform, we found that being homebound more than usual was associated with increased risk for suicidal behaviors in high-risk adolescents.

I am hiring a full time study coordinator for our EBI-BD study which uses EEG, cognitive testing, EMA, and wearables to study emotion-based impulsivity in bipolar disorder. Excellent position for someone who is interested in grad school!

How does where we live – urban, rural, or in-between – relate to our mental health? 🌆🏞️

In this cross-country study, we investigate the links between urbanicity, anxiety and depressive disorders in 500,000 adults across the UK, Norway, and New Zealand 🧵
