I applaud the bravery of the NIH scientists risking their jobs in this vengeful environment by signing their names to this letter (The Bethesda Declaration) to NIH Director Bhattacharya. ✍️ Sign your name in support of the Bethesda Declaration: actionnetwork.org/forms/add-na... #StandUpForScience

The 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda means more disinformation about vaccines, fluoride, and raw milk, but less research, treatment, and prevention for the number one preventable cause of death in the US. This is not normal. #AddictionSci #MedSky #HandsOff

Inspiring leadership by Rutgers profs @profpaulboxer.bsky.social and #DrSalas-delaCruz!

@protectdemocracy.org, alongside our partners at @cspinet.org, @aclum.bsky.social, and @aclu.org, are seeking to have NIH and HHS restore terminated research grants, resume processing stalled grant applications, and stop terminating future grants and grant programs based on forbidden topics.

Congratulations to the whole Rutgers UBHC Center for Integrated Care team for this well-deserved recognition! In addition to great care for patients, our #APPIC Psychology Internship program trainees benefit greatly from the terrific training!

I understand this sentiment, but when Harvard is the only one standing up to the administration's demands, they deserve the cheers (with the hopes that others will follow).

As a lifelong Yankees fan, I don't like to say nice things about Red Sox players, but as a psychologist, it's great to see professional athletes talk about their mental health. Episode 4. Still Alive: ...Jarren Duran reflects on his mental health journey. #baseball www.netflix.com/title/815624...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on & daring the world to stop them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5

Congratulations to all the aspiring psychologists who matched today! If you didn't match, see below for an opportunity to learn more about Phase 2 (and know that I've interviewed some great applicants who didn't match until Phase 2 -it doesn't mean you won't go on to be a great psychologist!)

Amongst all the grant funding anxiety as I get ready to resubmit an NIH grant app next month, I got a text from #APPIC @ubhc.bsky.social psych internship alumni to tell me they are now working together and it made my day! Looking forward to Match Day on Friday! Good luck to all the applicants!!

@eymundson.bsky.social did the below analysis contrasting the notice of award data for January last year to this year. No grants have been awarded since last week, with a small overall volume for the month thus far (4,209 awards last Jan vs 1,138 this month): www.linkedin.com/posts/eun-yo...

IPTA study section for this week cancelled at last minute. Folks hearing about others?

That means- if you’re in a position to follow orders from Trump and Musk: DELAY. Work exactly 40 hours per week. Ask many questions. Slow down any bad rules. Don’t take bad actions. Focus on making grants happen. Please do this.

Please consider completing the short survey below.
