I'm back! In this experiment we had 39 participants choose between 8 different PhD programs which varied in terms of region, application materials, prestige, and fees. Importantly, two of the programs had a GRE requirement and two were equivalent but did not:

What a week! After 5 days, the #mitnb workshop has come to an end. We had a keynote on time scales and two workshops on careless responding and reliability. The central part of the workshops were the hackathons. We had super diverse hackathons, all designed to assess measurement in #ESM. (1/4)

Finished WARN-D data collection, all cohorts/waves. Cleaning & deidentifying data now so we can share w research community.

First look at compliance rates: left 3mo EMA data, right baseline + follow-ups. Super happy with this.

The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

2/2 ... work in this space. Although I have my opinion, I don't know which approach(es) will ultimately move the needle, so as long as funders & the field don't ONLY pursue imaging & genetics research, I'll be happy no matter which line of work moves the field forward & improves patient outcomes

A sampling of the slides… I’ll say this though - I’ll never teach a class on evidence based psychotherapies without praising Dianne and Steve for that original 1992 paper. We can respect our history while also teaching students about the present (and future)!

Don’t worry Toshi - I had lots of other slides on ways we build evidence, including two from your IPDs. It’s important to teach the history though too.

Trump Deals A New Immigration Blow To International Students Trump officials have proposed a new rule limiting international students to fixed periods of entry, making a U.S. education more precarious.

Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew
Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.
