Join us in welcoming Kiersten Anderson, our LASR summer intern, to the lab! 🥳🌱

It was such a joy to present alongside these folks at APS! I am beyond impressed by the work my early career peers are producing. 🤩 See below for a very brief sneak peak of my talk!

Who is going to be at APS in May? I'm so excited to be joining @shayanasadi.bsky.social @markschen.bsky.social @teresagvl.bsky.social and @craiganthonyrs.bsky.social for a symposium focused on integrating environment into psychopathology research. I hope to connect with more folks while in Spain! 😊

Do you report self-harm history consistently? Our recent work using ABCD Study data shows 67% of youth who reported a history of self-injury at age 9-10 denied it just one year later. This highlights why we need repeated and developmentally sensitive check-ins to track youth mental health.

Please pass along to anyone who may be interested in working on some youth suicide research with me in Tulsa this summer! 💖

Elizabeth “Libby” Winn (Research Assistant) is interested in how early life adversity and resilience intersect to shape mental and behavioral health outcomes, and plans to pursue graduate studies in mental health counseling!

I am thrilled to share my new first author pub in JAD! 🥳 We found minority stress was associated with concurrent and future experiences of defeat, and defeat was associated with prospective minority stress in sexual minority college students reporting SI. authors.elsevier.com/a/1meFzbXYj0...

New paper from our team: Can ML identify which adolescents benefit most from school-based mindfulness? In 8,376 students (MYRIAD trial), models detected statistically significant but clinically negligible differential effects (d ≈ .07–.08). Precision prevention is hard...

Surprise! My lab is now on Bluesky 🤗 After months of navigating internship, graduation, and the transition to my new role at LIBR, I'm excited to jump back in to sharing the work we are doing with y'all in this space! Yay SEEDS! 🌸🍓

New lab paper in DCN! 🧠 We conducted interviews with adolescents to better understand their perceptions of neuroscience research and barriers to participation, w/qualitative data that is shaping how we design lab studies & efforts to increase representation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Though delayed by my internship year, I have a new paper out in Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science! In this paper, we examine rates of inconsistency in lifetime reporting of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) among youth in the ABCD Study!

#standupforscience2025 in Tulsa, OK yesterday. As @awiglesworth.bsky.social said, we (and the folks driving by) learned something.

Worth reading!

Psychologists claim they are all for interdisciplinary science, but rush to say "this is outside of my area" at the slightest hint of being asked to engage with it. Even worse, these areas are quickly abandoned as the fads end, 'elite' labs flee, and the questions start getting mature and harder.

1/7. Public discourse about racial equity has changed a lot over the years. At @commhsp.bsky.social we’ve been monitoring those changes and their consequences. In a new 538 article, @efranklinfowler.bsky.social and I share what we’ve been seeing and why it matters. abcnews.go.com/538/national...

#match2025 #APPIC For anyone who didn't match today, there are some WONDERFUL positions still available in Phase 2. Check us out!

It hasn't felt like the "right time" for announcements, but seeing as this is our world now... *cue announcement* SHE HAS A BIG GIRL JOB! 💕

Report: Everything Slightly Worse Than Yesterday theonion.com/report-...

Is puberty (as a biomarker of adolescence) related with identity development? In an open-access article in the American Psychologist, colleagues and I found that sexual minority self-identification and pubertal timing mutually inform one another across two samples of adolescents.

Hot off the press! 📣📣In this tutorial we illustrate available multiple imputation approaches for handling longitudinal data including when they are clustered within higher level clusters. A reproducible example with R and Stata code provided! #OpenAccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I had to google my word but it's kind of a serve I think

I can hardly believe it, but.. ☀️The FRAME lab at Duke is hiring! ☀️ If you’re passionate about: - culturally responsive frameworks, - qualitative methods, - community-engaged research, and/or - Indigenous/Native mental health, please apply here: careers.duke.edu/job-invite/2...

Nothing like finishing a 2 hour task that has been on your list for several months 😌

Neu-AIRR lab “paper in a day” 2024 is underway! Our first attempt to do this on the same day as the institute holiday luncheon. Fingers crossed!

I finally made my way onto the platform! I am excited to connect! I am also excited to share our new paper recently released online in American Psychologist (open access link: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...)

🚨 Calling all students (UG and postbacc)! 🚨 Come work with me (well, with Dr. Evan White, but I'll be here too 😊) at LIBR this summer! This paid summer internship is an excellent way to gain additional research exposure and skills as you plan for your next training steps!

I am happy to share that we received a grant from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to develop guideposts for editorial equity in academic publishing! news.asu.edu/b/20241119-j...

I made a suicidology/NSSI starter pack! Share and comment below to be added. go.bsky.app/MgL9J1j

repost is the new bookmark? moving this to my "to read"

I had a lovely time meeting so many folks in person for the first time and presenting my work at #ABCT2024✨

Ever find a paper so exciting you download it to read to & from wine tasting? 4 datasets, identical stats + visuals, different generating mechanisms. H/t to @lucystats.bsky.social Barret @travisgerke.bsky.social Article: Causal inference is not just a statistics problem (tandfonline.com)

Receiving internship interview invitations hits entirely differently with having submitted these applications while my grandmother was ill and in the hospital/ on hospice. I was already proud to have even submitted (most of) them while visiting and caring for her.

I'm looking to recruit a new Ph.D. student for Fall 2024, particularly someone interested in meta-science, and preferably intersections with diversity/structural perspectives. Full consideration given to applicants from inside or outside the U.S. Deadline is Dec 1. cla.umn.edu/psychology/g...

I have been offline for most of this past month caring for my grandmother in her final days. She passed on Saturday morning and has made her journey to the sky world. I wanted to share some of her light with you all. She was the warmest, silliest, most beloved person I knew. ❤️

I vaguely remember a discussion about putting together a helpful info sheet FOR IRBs about suicide and self-harm (e.g., asking about suicide does not increase risk, etc). Does someone know where to find this? All I find are things provided BY IRBs instead. TIA!

This is *so* important. Following these recommendations is the very least we can do! psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-...

You ask for the feedback survey results from a talk you do. One comment is just racist about you. Admin should: a) Remove comment, keep you unaware b) Remove comment, tell you unprofessional comment was removed c) Tell you, ask if you want comment removed d) Send & warn about comment e) Just send

Hi bsky! 😃 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️We are recruiting for a (compensated) study about healing from heterosexism and transphobia through expressive writing! We’re recruiting LGBTQ+ folks in the US. Please share if you can— thank you! Access the study here: lgbtqmentalhealth.com/grow

Why did the universe decide that I am to finish October on Hard Mode™️? 😭 Balancing family health emergencies with internship apps and being a human while it in my normal environment/ routines is not working for me.

I hope that anyone who wants to contribute to the prevention of Black youth suicide will give this report a read. EVERYONE can play a role in this effort. Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, but the work must continue each day after. tiny.cc/StillRinging2023

#rstats What are your favourite examples when teaching students to think critically about data/figures and interpretations? For example, Simpson's Paradox and the importance of considering important subpopulations - is brilliantly displayed in the Palmer Penguins dataset.

Since I was insufferable in my complaints here about my #APPIC materials, I feel it's only right to share that I have essays! They are drafted! Suddenly, I feel great! Relieved! I am sure that will change soon but for now, we are basking in the relief. (also this meme is not a challenge)

I love providing feedback on fellowship materials. It is such a privilege to learn more about others' paths and desires for their work and impact. It's also so fun to see how changes to framing can really make someone's story shine. I am also always reminded that the future of our field is bright ✨

I am at the phase of grad school where I need to regularly check and recheck my starred emails in order to not completely drop random to do's. Is this what it's like from here on out? It can't get worse, right? *gif of someone looking over their shoulder nervously*

The only way to work on #APPIC internship materials

Because I cannot have a social media account that doesn't center my pups, meet my office mates (if you've already met them, just admire how cute they are 🥹). They were reluctant to get the day started this morning.
