My first awarded grant ever! 🥳 so grateful for my friends, family, and colleagues who supported me in this grant application and I cannot wait to disseminate our findings!!

I’m pumped to be presenting at @abctnow.bsky.social next week in New Orleans! Come by my poster session Friday at 4:30 or reach out to say hi! Would love to connect and meet up with new and old friends/colleagues alike!

delighted to see this published 🙌 using EMA, we (with @roryoc.bsky.social) investigated suicidal ideation in daily life. we found that it arises from an interaction of within-person increases in loneliness and an individual’s level of personality functioning psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Sharing for awareness: For those able and willing to help, the Embassy of Jamaica in DC is coordinating disaster relief in the U.S. They have asked folks to reach out to them at [email protected] to coordinate support. The government has info on donations supportjamaica.gov.jm

Sarah is a great person in addition to a superb scholar. Apply to her lab!

Currently learning about suicide risk assessment and safety planning in primary care! Super exciting to hear that this intervention was found to be successful and particularly excited that means safety methods (eg locks) were provided as part of safety planning! www.umassmed.edu/capes/events...

Just posting this again. If you or someone you know is looking for a tenure-track position please submit your application. Review is ongoing, but you should submit as soon as possible.

A new study shows how firearm suicides among women 65+ are rising, reversing decades of decline, while firearm suicides among older men remain high but stable. As these numbers grow, timely mental health support and conversations about firearm access are critical. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Submissions are due October 30! Please disseminate far and wide to reach all who work in suicide research.

"I consider firearm suicide prevention to be my life’s work. Around 60 percent of all gun deaths in the US are suicides, and over half of all US suicides result from self-inflicted gunshot wounds." Read the latest RGVRC member highlight: @mikeanestis.bsky.social. rockinst.org/blog/rgvrc-m...

More personally, I'm grateful to LSU's student paper, The Reveille, for the opportunity to share my own origin story of seeing a friend thinking of suicide and having no idea what I could do to help them keep themself safe, because no one ever talked about suicide lsureveille.com/261733/opini...

So incredibly proud of the work @raymopt.bsky.social, @obrienemj.bsky.social, @faithstoneking.bsky.social, and the rest of LSU's Consortium for the Advancement of Suicide Prevention have done on campus and in our community for National Suicide Prevention Week/World Suicide Prevention Day.

My lab @lsu.bsky.social put together some resources ahead of Suicide Prevention Day (9/10)/Week (9/8-13) - check them out, and please share widely! @lsuscience.bsky.social

A practice I generally follow but want to make sure I bring into the next academic year: Every day, do one thing to better myself/my life (e.g., go for a run, do SOME writing), and one thing to better the life of someone else (e.g., compliment an outfit, make dinner for a friend who is struggling).

I just submitted my first first-author manuscript of my PhD with my PhD advisor 🥹🥹🥹 this project used EMA data I helped collect in sexual minority college students - the first of hopefully many projects in this area to come!! ♥️

Woohoo geaux tigers (and Baby Parker)!

I will be interviewing for a clinical psychology PhD student in the Precision Psychopathology + Dynamic Immunopsychiatry Lab this interview cycle. Please see our website for more info about what we do + share with applicants you think might be a good fit. share.google/uJRyS3NY9Kdo...

Repost from that OTHER platform, but new paper out from @obrienemj.bsky.social and our lab looking at the relationship between PTSD symptoms and acquired capability through dissociation and alcohol use in the National Guard: doi.org/10.1111/sltb....

I’m thrilled to share that my new first-author manuscript is now published! We found that PTSD symptom severity is related to acquired suicide capability through dissociation and alcohol use in National Guard members! dx.doi.org/10.1111/sltb...

I’m thrilled to share that I’m starting a new position today as a Psychology Extern at Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge! As an extern I will be administering CAMS Brief Interventions to patients on the inpatient unit and visiting the med floors of the hospital. 🥳

Woooh go Allie!!!

My two first-author posters were accepted to present at @abctnow.bsky.social in New Orleans in November! 🥳 Looking forward to meeting more folks down in the big easy!!

Another lovely visit home to MN ♥️

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.

I'm the 1st scientist in my family. My parents were amazed I could attend @caltech.edu, an elite private school, for my PhD studies FOR FREE. In fact, I was paid to become a PhD chemist. STEM is a pathway to a good career. I study TB- a disease that impacts millions. Fund NIH.

New article in press! 💥 We found 3 personality profiles of older adults who had attempted suicide, differing from comparisons on suicidal, clinical, and health characteristics. Suicide prevention efforts and person-centered treatment among older adults at risk are needed! doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

I just finished the last thing I needed to do before the end of the semester… so officially… I finished my first year of my clinical psychology PhD program! Grateful to everyone who supported me along the way! ♥️🥹 Shoutout to my cohort of amazing people.

The systems that have made America safer are under attack. My new op-ed in @commondreams.org explains why we can’t stay quiet as the Trump admin rapidly dismantles much of our violence prevention + public safety infrastructure. We can't go backward. www.commondreams.org/opinion/trum...

The McClintock Letters is an op-ed writing project started by grad students from ~20 institutions, in collab with @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social 📝 We’re aiming to publish these on Dr. Barbara McClintock’s birthday: tinyurl.com/McClintockLetters @sciforgood.bsky.social

I got the NSF GRFP notification at 2am. I remember crying because it was the first hint that I might actually belong in science. That fellowship carried me through grad school and made my NIH policy internship possible. I wouldn’t be here without it. #WithoutNSF

Great presentation on the role of data safety monitoring boards in clinial suicide research by Kate Comtois. I learned a ton watching this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymSE... #suicideprevention

Other good ideas for faculty - use those writing/research skills to hammer out a local op-ed @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social and #McClintock Letters blogs.cornell.edu/asap/events-...

Excellent thread! Tenured faculty can sign the Declaration to #DefendResearch Against U.S. Government #Censorship! They can submit testimonials about the impact of censorship on their work! They can call on their administrations speak up and #resist! defendresearch.org

If you do 1 thing today, please listen to Logan Rubenstein — who lived through BOTH the #FSU and #Parkland shootings — call for anyone, literally anyone in charge to act. We are making students beg for their lives because our leaders are spineless gun industry aligned cowards @teamenough.org

Fascinating presentation using machine learning to identify groups of individuals based on intensity and duration of ideation and attempt history at @suicideresearchsym.bsky.social by @irenexu.bsky.social!

Day 3 of #SRS25 is coming up soon - so many great research presentations lined up today; don't miss out!

PRESSURE WORKS!!! Do NOT let them normalize this stuff--yell, call, protest, write, talk to people! It is WORKING!! www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

In much better news: after our fury, HHS says “We are now working to fully restore funding to” the Women's Health Initiative. Sharing the gift article. Reminding us all that we're in 'announcements about announcements' territory, but let's keep close eye on this. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/h...

OMG ANOTHER WALK BACK!!!! PRESSURE WORKS, PT 3 www.advocate.com/news/trans-t...

A fascinating and timely plenary by @shirleybwang.bsky.social and Ross Jacobucci chaired by @amybrausch.bsky.social! @suicideresearchsym.bsky.social
