I’ll be giving a paper presentation on Thursday, April 24 at 5:15pm EST for #SRS2025 on the longitudinal change in suicidality and NSSI among youth crisis app users! Thanks to @drmindyws.bsky.social and co. for supporting this work!

Important take from an awesome human.

I am not going to call this a Bluetorial, because I do not want to sully that term (which, at least I, find joyful). Let’s call it a Orwellial.

If you are working on grants and want to identify any of the flagged NSF keywords without a ton of cntl+F, I wrote a very short R script here docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Studies show that funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) contributed to 354 of 356 drugs (99.4%) approved by the FDA from 2010 to 2019. Recklessly slashing NIH funding will mean that patients will be waiting much longer for life-saving treatments.

Ohio: activate! We are planning the Columbus iteration now. Stay tuned for details. Volunteers wanted! Reply here and I'll sign you up to help. Let's make this a big, beautiful celebration of science!

you know who's great at managing lots of uncertainty? high-achieving, anxious academics.

Please share with Phase II folks!! And fwiw, yours truly had to face the phase II process. You’ve got this!!!

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health currently has two postdoc positions available:

Our best wishes go out to all the amazing NIH people who were removed. We see your service and your good work. We will do whatever we can to fight. Take care of yourself and then when you’re ready, jump back in the fray. 💕 1/

Awkwardly posting this here amidst all the chaos-- Dr. Jennifer Hughes is hiring a postdoc and a bachelor's-level research coordinator for her studies centered on youth suicide prevention and school-based sleep health. She is AMAZING and I encourage folks to share widely! Info below!

The ACNP has joined forces with other brain and behavior organizations in opposition of the NIH imposed standard indirect cost rate. acnp.org/about-us/st...

Applications still being accepted for the Career Development Institute for Psychiatry! Highly recommend for early career folks as it’s a great opportunity to connect with amazing peers and mentors who are treasure troves of super helpful information in launching careers! cdipsychiatry.org

Thank you @natureportfolio.bsky.social for making my review of the Anxious Generation open access for parents, policy-makers, and the public. The story told in this book runs counter science and is leading to poor policy decisions that will ultimately fail our kids. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

📢 Our lab's latest, out today in JAMA Pediatrics: "State Parental Consent Law and Treatment Use Among Adolescents With Depression" jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... TL;DR Teens with depression living in states that require parent consent for mental health treatment may be less likely to access care 🧵

Delightful 😹

As part of this award, we are actively hiring multiple RAs. Resharing the job posting: osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/OSUCareers/j...

Excited to report that Dr. Nik Allan and I received a $3M NIMH R01 to optimize the delivery of safety planning-type interventions (SPIs) in psychiatric inpatients by identifying contexts that signify SPI use is clinically indicated & conditions that potentiate/inhibit SPI efficacy.

For so many reasons therapists dont take insurance but # 1 The reimbursement rates we have been quoted for #eatingdisorder specialty care range from $30-50 per hour, w overhead costs, note writing, working w/ care team this would mean a therapist is making about 7.50-12.50 an hour Unsustainable

I was reading a Buzzfeed article on reassuring facts and I came across one that said, If he met you, there's a strong chance Mr Rogers he'd be very proud of how far you've come. My shoulders came down, so I'm sharing it.

There’s currently a postdoc posting at Nationwide Children’s! Position is for Dr Eric Youngstrom’s lab. Depending on interests/fit, there may be opportunities to work with others at NCH! external-nationwidechildrens.icims.com/jobs/52998/p...

All my interactions with LIBR folks have been amazing! This is an awesome group of people to connect with—100% recommended 😊

Behavioral health research at Nationwide Children’s is growing! Looking for a faculty position? Check us out! external-nationwidechildrens.icims.com/jobs/53123/f...

Dr. Nik Allan and I are #hiring 2 RAs to work on a new project examining strategies for managing suicide risk in psychiatric inpatients. Position is onsite at @OSUWexMed. Apply now & feel free to contact me with questions. Please RT. osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/OSUCareers/j...

Instead of horrifying takes by loads of bots, my Discover feed consists of endless cat photos and people sharing stories about their cats. This is quite pleasant. (More science is of course welcome)

Yep. We're all back. I'm back. Follow me because I re-post cool people, junior scholars, and disruptors!!

I suppose I should (re)introduce myself given my lengthy hiatus! I’m Mindy and am an assistant professor at Nationwide Children’s Hospital/OSU. I study self-injury in youth. This includes neuroimaging and a burgeoning interest in interventions and understanding barriers to care. Here are my cats.

Do you know a child who has suffered from mental health issues? FINALLY - here is a bill for a huge increase in @NIMHgov mental health research! This can happen if we tell our Senators we demand it! Plz take 10 seconds to use and spread this link: www.votervoice.net/APAAdvocacy/...

Despite COVID, we significantly reduced rumination AND replicated change in brain connectivity in teens with remitted depression 🙌🏻 (With @slangen.bsky.social @sheilacrowell.bsky.social @erinkaufman.bsky.social @bfarstead.bsky.social & many others) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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!

Fellow beloved nerds, check out this rad opportunity! Training in Advanced Statistical Methods in Neuroimaging and Genetics, Salt Lake City, April 15-26. 2024 tuition drop! Priority applications Nov 1, 2023. Late applications Dec 1, 2023. neurostatsbootcamp.org

The youth mental health crisis began long before the pandemic. If we are serious about reducing kids' suffering, here's a (not-exhaustive) list of what needs to happen.... Feel free to add more, and also to tell any/all stakeholders that it's time for serious action!

Reminder that the Big Ten Academic Alliance Fee Waiver program gives waivers for 15 schools' PhD programs (including OSU astro and OSU physics) for US citizen students w/ 3.0+ GPAs and diverse backgrounds! Easy form to complete due by Nov 15. btaa.org/resources-fo...

Love this idea

Come be my fellow T32 postdoc in Fargo or Minneapolis! Apps due 10/31 for next year pending funding renewal. Fargo has been a charming, easy, affordable place to live. We have a diversity of expertise, lots of folks excited about new ideas in eating disorders, and lots of data 👀

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

It finally happened. Today, I was asked to be a reviewer for a paper on which I’m a co-author.

There's still time to register for the talk I'm giving next week for the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation on Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behavior in Youth--Right before I begin my journey to Barcelona for IASR 😅 www.bbrfoundation.org/event/self-i...

Will I be seeing any fellow suicide and self-injury researchers in Barcelona? 👀

So I haven't seen a suicidology round-up post yet. I will try to tag folks I have found so far (apologies in advance to anyone I miss!). #SuicidePrevention people, check in here and share so we can find each other! ⬇️

Hi #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky people! I am a recent transplant from the bad place and also a 5th year clinical psych grad student at UMN (applying for internship)! I research suicide, development, and stress processes in young people with a particular focus on Native American youth. Happy to be here!

Hi there! I’m an early career assistant professor and licensed clinical psychologist. My research and clinical interests are centered on self-injury and suicide in youth. I’ve done a lot of MRI, but I’m gradually incorporating more tx including rumination-focused CBT and mobile interventions 😸👋🏻
