Lab road trip to Association for Research in Personality conference is off!

Excited to present “Interpersonal Complementarity Across Levels of Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in BPD,” at ARP! @arpposts.bsky.social Come check it out Friday at 1:15 pm in the Rogers Room! @aidangcw.bsky.social @annikafrom.bsky.social @hasaganitissera.bsky.social & Kathryn Bollich-Ziegler

Call for papers for a Brain, Behavior, and Immunity special issue on precision immunopsychiatry of depression! If you have a project in the pipeline that fits the bill, we encourage you to submit. www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu... @pnirs.bsky.social

For a social drug, there is surprisingly little lab research on alcohol use in social settings. Check out this new paper by Kasey Creswell and friends (myself included) that adds to this small but critical body of work. www.psychologicalscience.org/article?ru=h...

Today, NSF added another 500 GRFP awardees, bringing this year’s total to 1500 www.research.gov/grfp/Awardee...

Research Saves Lives At Hopkins, we just went live with an expansive website showing the extraordinary value of research, the impact of cuts to research, what's at stake, resources for our research community, etc. Check it out: researchsaveslives.jhu.edu

Care about suicide research? Then you should care about how we measure suicide-related constructs! Very proud to share this viewpoint led by @kirstenchristensen.bsky.social, recently accepted at J Psychopathology and Clinical Science 🥳 osf.io/preprints/ps...

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

Need to analyze intensive longitudinal data or panel data? Multilevel or mixed effects modeling offers one of the most powerful methods to do so. Join my 3-day (June 18-20) workshop for longitudinal multilevel modeling to learn how. 1/2 smart-workshops.com/long-mlm-info

PSA that NIH BRAINS RFA is terminated Easy to miss (at least to me and one grants admin) because the change was listed in Notice NOT-OD-25-113, not in the main body of the solicitation

We’re updating the list of suicide researchers who may take a grad student for 2026: shorturl.at/yTT9n Applicants - this year may feel especially heavy. Hope this brings you a little direction, hope, and a reminder that you’re not alone. You are the future. Let your voice shape what comes next.

At APS? Come to our symposium "Advancing Dimensional Models of Psychopathology: Bridging Psychometric, Behavioral, and Neurodevelopmental Perspectives on the HiTOP Framework"! (Friday at 1) I'll be presenting working linking HiTOP to *actual behavior* assessed by smartphone sensors.

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

There’s been some “advice” coming from some quarters for scientists not to focus on DEI-related funding cuts. I wholly reject this concept. Cutting programs designed to reduce science and healthcare disparities is as detrimental to science as anything else, both morally and functionally.

All NIH and NSF grants for my entire team--and for all of Harvard, I guess?--have been terminated. As provocative as that sounds, the practical effect is probably not much. Everything was already frozen. 🤷‍♂️ On the upside, it makes tracking terminated grants easier. No more guesswork at Harvard!

New preprint with @hollysully.bsky.social & @kevinmking.bsky.social: Alcohol intoxication and negative mood similarly affect reward learning but not punishment learning in the Iowa Gambling Task doi.org/10.31219/osf...

Hello my #autistic #actuallyautistic #ND and #disability friends. I am putting together a starter pack on Autism/ND/disability platforms—I am also happy to add any individuals who would like to be included. Please make recs! We need community to fight RFK Jr.🧪♿️ go.bsky.app/wbCudt

All #NIH grants have now terminated here at #Harvard, including ours, which examined shared/distinct underlying neural & cognitive mechanisms between typical/atypical #arithmetic and #reading skills. Results would have been invaluable for development of #screening, diagnostic, & intervention tools.

Just published in JoPACS! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40323898/ What is urgency and how should we best assess it in the moment? A thread 🧵 1/n

The NIH has dropped its research funding by $2.7 billion so far this year. Cancer research funding has declined 31%. And new NIH research grants fell to the lowest level in more than a decade. Eye-opening findings in today's HELP committee minority report: www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Finished my 1st year of my PhD program! 🎉🎉 Definitely a challenging year but it’s been so exciting and rewarding to fully engage with research, teach my first class, and mentor several young scientists. Many thanks to my cohort for all the support this year!

Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.

Thrilled to be giving this talk to the IRACDA community here at Rutgers! ✨ because ALL of these programs are necessary and important!!

🎉BIN is turning 5️⃣—and going in-person for Black In Neuro Conference 2025 in Washington, DC 🧠✨ 🗓️ It's time to save the date: September 10-12, 2025 Let’s celebrate 5 years of community, connection, and Black excellence in neuroscience! More details to come soon!! 🤗

⏰📷 Last week to register for my Longitudinal Structural Equation Modeling workshop on May 14-16! I cover 4 of 5 types of stability/change: structural, differential, normative, and individual change in panel data (2-10ish waves) Please RT! 🙏 smart-workshops.com/long-sem-info

Contact your Representative and Senators & urge them to support investments in NSF and NIH. The Administration’s proposed cuts to these vital agencies will harm #science and hinder our prosperity, health, and well-being. www.psychologicalscience.org/act-now

March in support of DEI last week Reinstate DEI at the University of Michigan ✊🏽 #WeAreDEI @neema-prakash.bsky.social

I got an email yesterday afternoon that my NSF SPRF Postdoctoral Fellowship was terminated. My grant focused on testing interventions to address online misinformation and I was 8 months into a two year appointment.

🙏 We need your help 🙏 The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like. We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net

Hey folks! I'll be teaching two workshops in May on Structural Equation Modeling! One course is introductory (May 7-9): smart-workshops.com/intro-sem-info The other is on longitudinal models (May 14-16): smart-workshops.com/long-sem-info 🙏Please RT and share! 🙏 Let met tell you more...

We are excited to announce our official partnership with @indivisible.org for the National Day of Action on April 5th! Stand Up for Science says: HANDS OFF OUR SCIENCE! #standupforscience #handsoffourscience Find and register for an event near you: handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s...

Bluesky loves links! We don't downrank, and major publishers report that we're sending more link traffic than other sites. Here's the top links shared on Bluesky, updated hourly. theblue.report/week/

New paper comparing latent dimensional, categorical, and hybrid models of internalizing psychopathology. Dimensions win out, no surprise there. But the use of skewed latent dimensions as a comparison is a nice addition. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hey SUFS Community! If you fall into one of the following categories and are willing to talk to press (on or off the record), please comment/DM us: 1. Had a funded grant revoked 2. Are considering moving abroad to continue your research 3. Have been impacted by the stoppage of a clinical trial

A nice piece in the APS Observer on efforts to rethink classification of psychopathology, featuring quotes from me, @miriforbes.bsky.social and @drkoraly.bsky.social Check it out: www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Now I need to re-evaluate my life. Seriously though... know why the period from 1955 to 1985 was so remarkable? Know why there was so much technological change? Know why there were so many advancements in science and medicine? Know why our economy expanded? We had very robust science funding.

Excited to be protesting today with my UMN colleagues because #ScienceIsForEveryone 🧪🧬 🧠 I’ll also be giving a brief speech at the MN state capitol about why diverse perspectives are an integral & necessary component for us to do good science ✨ #standupforscience2025 #ScienceNotSilence

WHERE WILL YOU BE TOMORROW?

The first workshop of the spring is Assessing Suicidal and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury taught by @kathrynfox.bsky.social and @shirleybwang.bsky.social This is not the type of research you want to "just wing it" for, so get some training before you design your study! smart-workshops.com/sitb-info

NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan prospect.org/health/2025-...

Another tough day for science. 🧪 #AcademicSky

My first symposium and single-presenter talk have been accepted at APS & ARP! I’ll be in D.C. & Evanston this summer presenting on interpersonal processes & suicide @psychscience.bsky.social #aps25dc @arpposts.bsky.social

Some of our members have submitted a letter to Meta protesting their revised policy on hateful conduct that now allows allegations of mental illness on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity You can read the letter and list of signatories here: www.hitop-system.org/letter-to-meta 1/2
