Re-upping for the weekday crowd-

Choosing between syndrome/diagnosis vs. symptom focused mental health research is a false dichotomy

New paper arguing how we can, and should, consider how risk/resilience/treatment factors can be uniquely + simultaneously associated with both levels of specificity

The White House Gutted Science Funding. Now It Wants to โ€˜Correctโ€™ Research.

๐Ÿ””Trumpโ€™s Foolโ€™s Gold EO is facing MAJOR backlash.

THOUSANDS of scientists, academics, & physicians - including us - are speaking out against this political assault on science.

The @ap-ls.org conference is starting, #lawpsych #legal #psych friends!

A few years ago, I made a thread on attending your first conference. I hope it's still helpful, @aplssc.bsky.social! Wish I could be with you in Puerto Rico, but conferences are just too dang expensive! 1/8

We need to organize--letโ€™s help each other.

NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond.

I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations.

Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

I am beyond pumped to share that I matched at Mt Sinai/Elmhurst Hospitalโ€™s predoctoral internship!

As I wait for #MatchDay, Iโ€™ve been looking into #forensicpsych postdoc options and Iโ€™m surprised there are zero ABPP-approved sites in the Northeast (NY, NJ, CT). Closest options are MA (there are several) and ME.

What are the potential reasons?

Academics & healthcare providersโ€ฆ

We must take some accountability for the threats to health/science.

We have failed at communicating what we do & why our work is essential to the public.

Stop writing that academic articleโ€ฆstart finding ways to talk with - and listen to - ppl outside your bubble

Watching the senate confirmation hearing for RFK Jr. and everyone is preaching that we โ€œmust follow the scienceโ€, which Is wildly ironic since much of science is being put on pause
