Great set of resources for those applying to grad school this fall!

So sorry to hear this about one of the leading addiction centers in the world! T32s are vital for supporting junior scientists. This is so disappointing.

The newest doctor to come from @fiu.bsky.social's ReACH Lab. Congratulations, Dr. Fallah-Sohy!

Excited to join the
@rsaofficial.bsky.social

So proud of you, @juliecristello.bsky.social Such a well-deserved recognition from @fiu.bsky.social !

Love that @rsaeducation.bsky.social is promoting the work of junior investigators! Friends and colleagues, let's show our support by attending. Now more than ever it's critical to come together to share our science in supportive spaces! @rsaofficial.bsky.social

Can't think of a better stats instructor than @aidangcw.bsky.social . Learning SEM can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. I highly recommend SMaRT Workshops!

Can't wait to dig into this issue!

We had fun presenting to a very engaged group of Miami-Dade TRUST Counselors. Always great to connect with members of the community who share our passion in improving the health and wellness of children and adolescents.

ReACH Lab Manager, Manny Bruzos, presented his work to a captive audience at the 2025 MICAMH Conference. His work shows that acculturative differences between teens & caregivers lead to low self-control and both link negative affect to later sleep problems among teens.

Tests of Moderated Mediation Background: Latino/a youth are at increased risk of electronic (e)-cigarette or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use; thus, identifying factors impacting initiation is critical.

📣 Check out our new article. We find that parents who have a good relationship with their kids can reduce later vaping risk via beliefs that they can prevent their teen from using e-cigarette. Yet, this was only true in families sharing acculturative attitudes. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/QWZFG...

Grad student, Ella Diab, reppin' FIU and the ReACH Lab during her vaping webinar to 3SC schools in Miami. Way to go, Ella!
