TT Assistant Professor Position in Modern Southeast Asian Humanities at UC-Berkeley! Further details below --

The Atlantic and NYT lost their minds if there was so much as a trigger warning in classes. Now, professors and Deans are being fired for a class that discussed the existence of trans people and those same publications are quiet. It was never about free speech. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/08/t...

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!

Out in Psychology of Violence! “Stalking and cyberstalking among college students: Prevalence and distinctions between harassment, victimization, and perpetration.” psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

🚨 New Paper Alert! 🚨 How does living surrounded by more conservative religious communities impact LGBQ+ mental health? A small thread (1/3) of our new open-access paper!

Out in AJCP! “Linking the religious and social environment to sexual minority mental health” doi.org/10.1002/ajcp...

NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding. NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.

Trump’s aim is to destroy American universities

I am recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to join my lab at Dartmouth. The ideal candidate will have experience in EMA, passive physiological data, and/or digital therapeutics. Interest and/or experience in chronic pain and co-occurring disorders is preferred. apply.interfolio.com/169836

The Academy of Psychological Clinical Science is offering dissertation awards to students in our member programs. Please see: www.acadpsychclinicalscience.org/07-07-25-apc... for all the details, deadline 9/1/25. We also need reviewers, details at same link!

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of turned on right now

Happy Pride from Seattle!! So happy to be settling in before starting internship.

My statement on today’s decision in Trump v Casa:

I'm an Associate Editor at Current Directions in Psychological Science and I have a new Special Issue call on Intergroup Allyship. Proposal submissions are due by July 18. Please share widely! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

This is horrifying and will shorten trans lives. At the same time, we know that trans people have survived attack and erasure many times over, providing each other with love, care, and basic needs. We won't stop or be stopped. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Filled with gratitude that I was able to be hooded by my advisor and walk with friends this weekend! Excited for the next steps!

I defended! I’m so grateful for my advisor @nicoleeallen.bsky.social who traveled for an in-person defense at @psychillinois.bsky.social & my Chair, Nathan Todd for his constant support, & the rest of my committee: Rachel Garthe, Catharine Fairbairn, and Brian Ogolsky. Thrilled for what’s next!

In response to Trump's executive orders, RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual-violence organization, has barred its crisis hotline staff from sharing resources specific to LGBTQ people, immigrants and other marginalized groups.

In all seriousness, I will be letting everyone know if I successfully defend my dissertation next week by either releasing a puff of white or black smoke

Me, waiting to find out who the new pope is

Spencer Foundation joins Kapor Foundation, the William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to launch a rapid response bridge funding program (up to $25,000) for education scholars impacted by the abrupt grant cancellations by the National Science Foundation (NSF)! #AcademicSky

U.S. scientists submitted 32% more applications for overseas jobs in Q1 2025 than they did a year earlier. Huh, wonder why? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🙏 We need your help 🙏 The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like. We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net

Kudos to Harvard for standing up to the federal government. More of this, please.

The entire National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) team at SAMHSA was terminated today. Do not listen to the platitudes of this administration when they say they care about drug overdose, addiction, mental health, or suicide.

‘“The loss of this [#NIH] research could very well result in a resurgence of HIV that becomes more generalized in this country,” said Julia Marcus, a professor at Harvard Medical School.’ Trump is killing biomedical research and increasing disease. 1/2

The Elliot Pearson School at Tufts University wrote a touching tribute about Rumeysa Öztürk. as.tufts.edu/epcshd/news-...

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Breaking News: The law firm Jenner & Block sued the Trump administration, making it the second firm recently targeted by President Trump to fight back in court.

A recent Nature poll has found that 75% of researchers surveyed are considering leaving the United States for jobs abroad, with a higher percentage among early-career researchers. Many are actively looking for jobs in Canada and Europe. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"Grants are getting killed “without any scientific input anywhere. It is purely political,” said a member of a senior NIH leadership team. “The science in this country is going to be destroyed if you can change what the priorities are going to be every four years. You can’t do science that way.”"

I hope every single Tufts parent out there calls the University and their reps about this.

Breaking News: The Trump administration plans to end vaccine funding in developing countries, documents obtained by The New York Times show. Some HIV and TB aid will be kept. nyti.ms/4iPA9as

An international graduate student at Tufts University was taken into federal custody on Tuesday outside an off-campus apartment building, the university’s president said. The university was told that the student’s visa had been terminated.

hey folks! I'm hiring research coordinators at UNC Chapel Hill in the Child and Adolescent Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program (CHAAMP). the position includes working on our Social Motivation Study examining preteen suicide risk. Please apply by mid-April here: unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/298...

I’m curious if there are any scientific journals that are running special issues or pieces from scientists who are losing their funding or being fired. It needs to go down on the permanent record for the people who come after us.

Excellent piece today in NYT on the importance of free thought and academic freedom, and why Columbia’s capitulation harms us all. One thing to add: #NIH’s special sauce has been the interaction of the in-house (intramural) research program with the university grants program. 🧵
