Well, that was a fun way to learn that I am allergic to Bactrim 🤒 🫣 🫠

Good luck, @usmnt.ussoccer.com 🫡

I’m updating the “mediation” lecture for my grad stats class. What’s new in mediation these days? Is it still worth explaining the original Baron and Kenny method? Suggested R packages? Note: these are first-year grad psychology students in a larger GLM class. I have 2 hours.

Big Tech has become infamous for ‘moving fast and breaking things’. Policymakers rushing to enact youth social media bans risk repeating Big Tech’s mistakes and compounding the problems the bans are trying to solve. We cannot ban our way out of a youth mental health crisis. Editorial by me >>

Some good news today methinks

Can less than 10 minutes daily on a mindfulness app improve the mental health of people of color exposed to discrimination? Based on our new publication in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (@jmirpub.bsky.social), the answer is yes! www.jmir.org/2026/1/e84328/ A 🧵:

Today! Join us for the Latinx Research Symposium where my mentee Abigail Villa (Education Sciences major) and I will presenting research from our executive function and context study.

New paper— everyone is collecting intensive longitudinal data but recent review studies report that less than half of studies consider measurement/psychometrics. The paper covers a few foundational psychometric methods for ILD and provides a shiny app to apply them link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Want to contribute to scientific rigor and open science in clinical psychology? Apply to be the senior clinical editor at Collabra! Worried it's too much work or you are too junior? Please ask me about it. You might, in fact, be the ideal person!

A large share of science funding comes through philanthropy, with little legal or public scrutiny. This lack of oversight allowed Jeffrey Epstein to cultivate scientists and launder his reputation. n.pr/4v0nHek

Frustrating thing about being an Assistant Professor: Knowing that I still have to be strategic about who I write papers with to preserve tenure letter writers. 1/2

Concrete, actionable guidance on the application of DMHIs in everyday clinical work! This is something @stephenschueller.bsky.social has been teaching for years, and it was great to get together with him, Naomi Tabak, Madison Taylor, and Namrata Poola to create this "go-to" resource for clinicians!

See you in a couple of hours 🤓

How can we advance #equity in digital #MentalHealth interventions? Join us on Tuesday, March 3 for a seminar with @gramos.bsky.social, who will explore the state of the science in #DMHIs and share findings for creating more equitable models and expanding access for marginalized groups. Join us! ⤵️

Today I had the honor of presenting some of my work focused on advancing mental health equity for racially and ethnically minoritized youth at the CHLA's Adolescent Medicine Grand Rounds! I just wish we'd had more time to continue the conversation. Thank you for the invite, Caitlin S. Sayegh, PhD!

“Maybe, I would have been treated better if I had cited some of the editor in chief’s papers,” Bimonte, of the University of Siena, wrote in boldface in the email, which we have seen. Two days later, an unhappy editor at the journal quit, Retraction Watch has learned.

Incredibly honored that this 2024 review of the state of the science in digital mental health interventions, published in @abctnow.bsky.social's Behavior Therapy is among the most cited papers over the last 3 years! Thanks to @stephenschueller.bsky.social, Rosa Hernandez-Ramos, and Madison Taylor!

It seems that I have been demoted by Google Scholar 🤣 🤷🏽‍♂️

We loved having you @gramos.bsky.social!! Thanks so much for generously sharing your amazing work with us!

Last week, I had the privilege to present some of my work at UIUC and its Clinical and Community Psychology Brown Bag seminar. There were fantastic questions, and I had a blast! Thank you for thinking of me for this, @vjrp.bsky.social! Proud to be a FOP 🤓

It's #FundingFriday at APF!💸 Don't miss out on these opportunities to apply for funding for your psychological research. More info at hubs.li/Q03ZHzZ80#FundingFriday

Proud and blessed to have Gio as my colleague.

The beauty of teaching a class on Latinx Mental Health right now is that every week, I have the opportunity to give my students something that matters to them. This was one of the slides for my class

Welp, the joke just lasted a couple of hours. I guess I can celebrate now, maybe? 🤷🏽‍♂️ 🤓

Sometimes, you just aren't there yet... 🤷🏽‍♂️ 🤣

The @apnews.com recently interviewed me to discuss the impact that Roblox can have on youth's mental health when used to reenact and protest against ICE immigration raids. My takeaway: It can be a healthy process by which youth build community and obtain social support! apnews.com/article/robl...

First day of classes, professor edition! This is the first time I get to teach Latinx Mental Health here at Berkeley, and I am already inspired by my students and their interest in learning more about their communities. By the way, check the last slide of my lecture. If you know, you know 🤓

Huge news: Our lab's first Monte Carlo Simulation Registered Reports was recommended by @pci-regreports.bsky.social. Led by the indominable @jessicalfossum.bsky.social! To my knowledge this is the first completed Registered Report of a Monte Carlo Simulation! rr.peercommunityin.org/PCIRegistere...

AI doesn’t just learn data—it learns our biases. A UC Berkeley researcher is working to ensure machine learning helps improve fairness in criminal justice and health care. news.berkeley.edu/2026/01/20/a...

I submitted five grant applications, and today I got the final rejection (0/5). Trying to get results from a pre-registered report published has also been an uphill battle, including reviewer comments that my work is not science but "activism," and rejections despite glowing reviews.

After 5 years of data collection, our WARN-D machine learning competition to forecast depression onset is now LIVE! We hope many of you will participate—we have incredibly rich data. If you share a single thing of my lab this year, please make it this competition. eiko-fried.com/warn-d-machi...

Just learned I've won the APA Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contributions to Psychology in the area of psychopathology, and am feeling pretty delighted!! So grateful to @aidangcw.bsky.social for nominating me, and very proud of the work it's based on.

I finally received this editorial decision! Many excellent comments from reviewers that will help improve this study and a very firm reminder that, we as a field, still don't know how to peer-review the results from pre-registered reports 🤷🏽‍♂️ I hope this gets published soon 🤓

This paper led by doctoral student Lucy Liotta of @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social examined different forms of future-oriented repetitive thought as predictors of suicide ideation among treatment-seeking teens. Free access for a few more weeks: authors.elsevier.com/a/1mJvybXYiyukA

The full ruling explaining why NIH grant cuts are illegal came out today. It's just as blistering as the judge's oral remarks. And it uncovers fresh details in DOGE's role orchestrating the cuts — and on the cuts at Columbia. Here are my top highlights from the 103-page ruling. 🧵

Young also has found "pervasive racial discrimination in selecting grants" to cut that will require a permanent restraining order to prevent the government from continuing this. He also finds an "unmistakable pattern of discrimination against women’s health".

Wow! Honored that my essay was named one of Science’s Top Personal Essays of 2025 for the second year in a row! It means a lot that honest stories about the real pressures + joys of research resonate. Grateful to all who read, shared, and reached out. Read here ➝ www.science.org/content/arti...

I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Líderes del Futuro podcast (tinyurl.com/rafapod) and radio show (tinyurl.com/kbbfr), where I spoke with El Profe Rafael Vásquez about the mental health of our Latinx communities! Si hablas español, déjame saber qué opinas ;) tinyurl.com/y28zmsvf

My time to shine! @jonasdora.bsky.social and I never find anything but nulls!
