Folks who are going to APS next summer: @olinotom.bsky.social and I are thinking of proposing a symposium on rethinking/reconceptualizing comorbidity (still finalizing a specific topic) and are looking for a couple of other folks to present. Anyone potentially interested? Feel free to DM!

Last week, I had the pleasure of giving a talk at CUNY. I had a blast and enjoyed the questions from students a lot 🤓

What is the state of the evidence for digital interventions for depression? Where can you find the "right" one? What are the areas of improvement in this field? This was a great collaboration with Eirini Karyotaki, David Mohr, and Stephen Schueller! authors.elsevier.com/a/1m0vD,4QFJ...

Just thinking: I am a double-boarded physician-scientist at @uclahealth.org, but I grew up in poverty. Gov't provided the welfare & foodstamps that aided my refugee family. Gov't grants subsidized my education. I am only where I am today bc of the #America that was. And it makes me want to cry.

In 2024, 79% of all U.S. Latinos were U.S. citizens, up from 71% in 2000.

In 2024, 68 million Hispanics made up 20% of the U.S. population. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

🚨 New publication! Our registered report in Journal of Educational Psychology examines whether common executive function (EF) tasks demonstrated measurement invariance across racial/ethnic groups. Spoiler: they don’t. ⚠️ doi.org/10.1037/edu0...

This weekend, I had the honor of participating in a panel that combined two things dear to my heart: digital mental health and selective mutism. I had a blast and learned a lot from my fellow panelists!

About 1 in 4 U.S. adults worry they or someone close to them could be deported, according to a June @pewresearch.org survey.

How cool is this during Hispanic Heritage Month? Bravo University of California Office of the President! Muy orgulloso de ser parte de esta familia 🤓

I continue to believe sharing example materials is useful in academia, so in that spirit, my tenure statements and CV are now available on our Resources for Researchers website (bottom of the New PI page: www.plasticityinneurodevelopmentlab.com/resourcesfor...)

Great resource for prospective clinical psychology students. (And BTW I'm recruiting)

Would be great to see some more Canadian profs on this list for students looking for clinical psych programs! I think @kvonranson.bsky.social is the only one I spotted 👀

Are you applying to a PhD in Clinical or Counseling Psychology? Here is a list of mentors who are taking students. Please circulate widely so all applicants can benefit 🤓. And if you are a PI recruiting students, please don't forget to add your name! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

@qmmmmliu.bsky.social and I just gave a presentation for the UChicago internship program on writing faculty job statements. We talked through what makes them compelling (and what to avoid). Slides are here if interested 👉 osf.io/3skx4/?view_... Thanks to Dr. Shona Vas inviting us!!

My former postdoc, Nina, is looking for grad students! You will have the best time with Nina - she is awesome!

I'm happy to now be able to share a talk I gave at TEDx New England last Fall!  The talk is about our lab's work on what makes decisions costly, and how to make them less so. I discuss lessons for all kinds of decisions, including getting people to vote. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeHg...

UC Davis is hiring! A tenure-track assistant professor of psychology, in human cognition or cognitive neuroscience #psychjobs recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07300

QUESTION for folks recruiting grad students: Pre-emails are always a topic of ✨discord✨…have you all noticed an increase or decrease in emails? Does it seem like people are using AI to generate the emails?

UPDATE: due to unforeseen circumstances I will NOT be reviewing students this cycle. Apologies to anyone who was interested. This is NOT a program issue, other Michigan clin psych faculty still on!

As U.S. students struggle with grade-level math, the research of @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social Asst. Prof. @damcotto.bsky.social is sure to have immense impact on how early childhood education can set them up for success. #math #UTK

First day of teaching Mathematical Thinking and Problem Solving ✅! Had a great first class with a lively discussion spatial reasoning and math cognition 🤓 @berkeleyeducation.bsky.social

Definitely ask to be nominated especially if you are from outside the U.S. but also from Universities that you often don’t normally see award recipients. Look at the APS fellows list for names to ask

How do the brain’s event representations change as we gain familiarity with an experience? Brain regions’ representations can become coarser or finer as event familiarity increases. Fine-tuning predicts memory recall. Excited to share this work with Narjes Al-Zahli & @chrisbaldassano.bsky.social!

I’ve spent the last 15 years thinking about math skills that set kids up for success at school entry. Now, I’m excited to dive into new work on how math is conceived in California’s universal transitional kindergarten (UTK) funded through the Barbara White Bequest @berkeleyeducation.bsky.social

I'm honored to join @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social and its Social Sciences Division: ls.berkeley.edu/ls-divisions... Go Bears! 🐻

ATTN: Robert Wood Johnson has money to support “canceled” research on racial-indigenous health equity www.rwjf.org/en/grants/ac...

New paper out today! We present two RCTs challenging the idea that longer digital single-session interventions for mental health must be more efficacious. This matters because briefer interventions (e.g., 8 mins vs. 23 mins) are likely to reach more people. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The feeling of pride when former lab members go out into the world and totally kick some ass.

some fun peer review irony 😅

🚨 Postdoc Opportunity @ UT Austin! I’m recruiting a clinical psychologist or neuroscientist to join us in 2025/2026. Our work: fear/threat + fMRI + EMA + HiTOP + anxiety/trauma/OC psychopathology in adults & adolescents + fancy stats! 📄 Description: tinyurl.com/2jfk8d8m 🌐 Lab: www.scoop-lab.com

Potential grad applicants: I'm hoping to take 1-2 new students this cycle! There's no need to email me in advance unless you have specific questions that aren't answered on the lab or psych department's website - everyone's applications will be considered equally. u.osu.edu/mattlab/2025...

Next up at #ISRII13 @isrii.bsky.social our symposium on the use of SilverCloud (dCBT) in different settings focusing on implementation issues and common learnings

So cool to learn more about how peer supporters are trained to implement RainFrog (by @depressionlab.bsky.social ) at UA. Nice!

Very excited for the @isrii.bsky.social panel on global digital health equity organized by @gramos.bsky.social

Grateful to be in DC to participate in the 2025 APA Think Tank on Educational Equity and Workforce Development. PS: My professional outfit screams, “business in the front, party in the back”

💡 I'm looking forward to contributing to next week's Science for Society webinar all about the science of stress and stress management! Join us for an overview of best practices in stress measurement, the evidence base for stress management interventions, and critical research on weight stigma.

🧠📱Excited to share our invited commentary in @jamanetworkopen.com on the promise and pitfalls of using smartphones (and wearables) to track psychopathology w/ @hadarfisher.bsky.social and linked to excellent paper by @whitneyringwald.bsky.social, @aidangcw.bsky.social & team. tinyurl.com/5n8z4r6e

For those interested in the target paper, see here for the link (it's open access). We use a much larger sample than is typical, that is clinically heterogeneous, and examines associations bw passive sensing and broad domains of psychopathology jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
