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...

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/...

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 🤓

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
