Screen shotting Florida for when i start making calls tomorrow.

1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

Call your reps, call your university admins.

Next week, I'm so excited to be spending Valentine's Day with Ruben Martinez (@rubenmartinez.bsky.social) and Susan Douglas talking about our shared love of measurement-based care. Thanks to sponsorship from the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science, the panel is free.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

A lot of folks have followed me after I posted about NIH funding. Glad you're interested in the topic! You can help by contacting congress to voice your support for federally funded research and encourage them to increase, rather than cut NIH/NSF, funding in the 2025 fiscal year. Links below:

So excited to be on this panel!

If you are ready to advocate to your representatives (or friends and families) about the economic value of NIH funded research, you can check your state at www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Step 1) find your rep www.congress.gov/members/find... Step 2) send an email or call their office Step 3) tell them that federal spending on scientific advancement is the best hope we have to “win against china” or whatever these guys are obsessed with these days

The trustee is Scott Yenor, who the Chronicle of Higher Education platformed a couple of weeks ago as a serious voice on higher education.

Sounds right

Absent minded professor, forgot that @lizcasline.bsky.social is actually here! #psychscisky

Really proud of this one. A discussion of how measurement-based care can be used to detect and prevent harm in mental health, with some thoughts about how its misapplication could also be harmful. Led by my terrific collaborator Liz Casline. doi.org/10.1007/s108...

Me seeing all my friends come over from the bad place

Finally, our awesome lab alum Kate Adams presented her senior honors thesis findings showing low agreement between ADIS and chart diagnoses of pediatric anxiety disorders. #ABCT2024

Next, Grace Woodard’s poster showing that our measurement based care implementation did not seem to increase provider dropout (phew). #ABCT2024

Up next was Lang Duong’s poster examining youth-level predictors of fidelity to measurement based care. #ABCT2024

CIELO lab poster number 2 at #ABCT2024 Elizabeth Lane presenting work examining predictors of TF-CBT symptom improvement.

So many CIELO lab posters at #ABCT2024. Up first was Dominique Phillips presenting her initial dissertation findings on the relationship between parent/youth informant discrepancies and youth treatment outcomes!

So thrilled to see Lauren present the findings from our COMET trial at #ABCT2024

My lab at the University of Miami is hiring! We are seeking a new post-baccalaureate research assistant to support a pending NIMH-funded research study focused on identifying key indicators of fidelity to measurement-based care. #psychscisky #impsci umiami.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UMCare...

Using #ROM and Feedback is an effective way to improve treatment outcomes. Despite the clear evidence of its effectiveness, its use is not a mainstream feature of psychological services around the world. To help bridge this research-practice gap, we have developed these videos t.co/6uw5ZhCs3f

Much-needed laugh this morning.

Looking for someone with clinical dev psych expertise who might be interested in speaking at an in-person event on talking to kids about the Israel-Hamas conflict at a synagogue in central NJ. Send me any leads.
