How happy are you right now? Single-item measures dominate #ESM / #EMA. Fast. Intuitive. Low burden. But… how reliable are they really? #m-Path research suggests that a large share of within-person variance may be noise... 👉 Read more: m-path.io/blog/from-pa...

📢 New Publication Alert at JoPaCS! Many studies use variability as a proxy for flexibility across domains. Using emotion regulation as an example, we show that variability decoupled from context can be harmful volatility. Variability ≠ Flexibility. 🧵 doi.org/10.1037/abn0...

My minds? Simple

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-...

This is reassuring to hear. After study section last week, I’ve had some emails with someone at CSR who said there’s going to be course correction for grants that got pulled… beyond the ones from diversity mechanisms, like those gender identities the orange menace declared don’t exist

📢@NIH funding saves lives and supports the US economy! Call your representatives to advocate for a course correction on the cuts to NIH funding to universities.

Likewise, pull out of submitting. I recognize the massive effort that goes into writing NIH applications, many of which were underway prior to the EOs, but I can’t see submitting for or accepting funding in good conscious right now
