I posted this article about my student's grant cancellation this morning. A few minutes ago, I learned that another very talented student in my lab had their funding cancelled too. I'm heartbroken -- not just about my students, but the future of science. darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/my-student...

Adolescence involves rapid development & social transitions, including a heightened sensitivity to social value. Dr. Dahl emphasized the opportunity we have to support positive identity development while promoting prosocial behaviors that combat negative social comparisons. #devpsych #psychscicky

The Trump administration halted $1 billion for mental health services for children, saying that the programs funded by a bipartisan law aimed at stemming gun violence in schools were no longer in “the best interest of the federal government.”

BREAKING: NSF has frozen all grant funding, as of yesterday. It's unclear when they will resume funding awards, or why the pause has been put in place. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I have “mastered” Japan. Someone sat next to me on the train! This gaijin felt pretty accomplished 🤣

Harvard psychiatrist responds to the MAHA agenda for mental health “Policymakers need humility about their own assumptions concerning psychiatric disorders and empathy for those struggling with these challenges.” jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I was honored to be back with the Yale clinical internship cohort to discuss how to provide culturally robust mental health services. There are few things I enjoy more than debunking some myths, talking about the state of the science, and providing actionable strategies 🤓

Excited to read this! I've had similar discussions about some discrimination measures and the ways people use them (e.g., what does invariance mean?)

Unconscionable. What a huge loss for this country.

Last chance to sign up for my workshop on Mediation, Moderation, and Conditional Process Analysis!

I’m excited to share that we have a new special issue call at the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science. Edited by @joshgrubbs.bsky.social and @cassie-boness.bsky.social Send them your best work on advancing our thinking on “behavioral addictions” www.apa.org/pubs/journal...

I am thrilled to share this call for papers with you at the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science. @cassie-boness.bsky.social and I, alongside @aidangcw.bsky.social, are looking for proposals on the science and practice of behavioral addictions research. www.apa.org/pubs/journal...

We're looking for submissions that advance the research on a range of topics related to behavioral "addictions" including classification and diagnosis, etiology, and heterogeneity! Please share.

You know who did read the grants that are being terminated? At least three experts in the field from around the country read them really carefully, and they and a whole panel of dozens of scientists rated them among the top 10% of applications. Apparently we're funding based on word searches now.

That moment when your IRB amendment is sent back to you with "Additional Revisions Required" because you wrote "NOT" instead of "NOW." That's it. Those are all the revisions required. Let's hope for a quick turnaround 🥲

Great piece on street medicine and the importance of trust www.statnews.com/2025/03/19/c...

My grants were terminated.
