Thanks, Dan! We'll have to try to get you in for a talk once I'm there! :)
Headed to the University of Chicago as a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience in July 2026!
Open access alert! Our new paper validating a continuous scaled menstrual cycle time variable is now available for 3 free months via PNEC's editor's choice:

Had a great time providing a workshop on PMDs and integrating the menstrual cycle in clinical assessment and treatment with @clearlab.bsky.social at @abctnow.bsky.social!
If you missed it, stay tuned, we will be launching additional opportunities to learn about this content from us very soon!
I’m not sure that’s how depression works haha 😂 but again I appreciate the inspirational message for those of us who are crazy enough to stick around!
I agree with the arguments but fear that constant stress has devastated many scientists’ motivation to do the basics. I see some anxious scientists being activated by this context, but I see many more simply shutting down, too depressed to function at the level needed to meet the moment. 💔
Excited to spend the week in sunny California ☀️working on this difficult but critical project!
Headed to Santa Barbara for the @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social summit! Excited to spend the week debating and refining recommendations for measuring reproductive factors in science!
I’m so incredibly proud of my MD/PhD graduate student Anisha Nagpal, who just defended her impressive dissertation! Congratulations— single doc achieved, double doc coming soon!
An AJP editorial from @clearlab.bsky.social calls for targeted, transdiagnostic approaches to premenstrual disorders. bit.ly/48r83Qp
Happening now! Follow along for highlights ✨ For today's #WHSS, @clearlab.bsky.social will be discussing dimensional affective sensitivity to #hormones across the #menstrualcycle 🔍
Why are some people hormone sensitive and others not? There are cultural stereotypes… that are imp to acknowledge. You need repeated measures and DAILY analyses to diagnose PMDD (~5.5%) or PME -
@clearlab.bsky.social
We need to understand this disorder better & not assume that all conditions need to be met. There are many different cutoffs. @clearlab.bsky.social made CPASS to help. DSM5 excludes subthreshold cyclicity. Or with PME & this is an issue for understanding the disorder.
DSM5 ignores unique trajectories. Unique trajectories are imp to understand for treatment options ++ @clearlab.bsky.social also if people arent careful this variability will be missed and
Fantastic phase aligned cycle scaling available for researchers interested. PACTS. Menstrual cycles and hormone levels can be quite different and this method helps. Sucidality idealisation also follows cyclicity @clearlab.bsky.social
So glad you’re enjoying it!
I shared early insights into subjective #stress trajectories over the #menstrualcycle from the first 26 participants and how they relate to affective symptom changes (very preliminary; data collection ongoing). 📈
We're back with another recap of what's new #ThisWeekInNPP
This week includes the latest from @clearlab.bsky.social, so don't miss it 👇
Please consider joining us for the ticketed Menstrual Cycle / PMDD workshop at ABCT 2025!!!
An excellent commentary from @clearlab.bsky.social as usual!

Again, they're trying to take away our vaccines.
From the head of the FDA, a gross misrepresentation of the annual process of updating a proven vaccine to target new disease strains.
His plan would make it impossible to get seasonal flu and Covid shots, and of course he knows this.
Reliability of a difference score vs. reliability of an interaction term.
‼️ New paper @ Child Development discussing why it is inappropriate to use traditional common factor models to model adverse childhood experienced (ACEs) and other stressor inventories ‼️

I’d guess most taxpayers are unaware how much they’ve already invested in creating the scientific workforce, which is now being thrown away.
Maybe $500,000 per scientist?
Talk about waste.
My 12 y/o son was willfully ignorant of politics until he calculated the potential cost of a Switch 2 with tariffs. Now he is radicalized.
