I will be interviewing for a clinical psychology PhD student in the Precision Psychopathology + Dynamic Immunopsychiatry Lab this interview cycle. Please see our website for more info about what we do + share with applicants you think might be a good fit. share.google/uJRyS3NY9Kdo...

Just to give the TL;DR on this one: *The* main purpose of the EO is to move funding priorities and decisions away from experts and career professionals over to political appointees. With the ultimate power held by Vought / OMB.

Something I've been feeling a lot lately, but haven't heard much about is the grief that comes with being an early career scientist in America in 2025. I think we all understand that, even if things turn out well, there is no going "back to normal" now. A (sad) thread /1

Defunding SAMHSA won’t make mental health and substance use challenges magically disappear. This isn’t peekaboo. It’s real people with real problems and in a country without other social and health safety nets they are cutting it to provide tax cuts to billionaires.

My annual psych internship rant, now with even more 🔥. The pre-PhD internship is an outdated model that devalues the expertise psych students bring. Now, we may be requiring students to move to unsafe cities and unstable positions, during a stage when healthcare and reproductive rights are critical.

Can’t believe I’m typing this but… FUCK IT IM PLANNING A STAND UP FOR SCIENCE PROTEST IN DC. If you want to be involved, be dm me. I’m nervous, I’ve never done this before, but we gotta be the change we want to see in the world.

Just called my senators and representative to oppose the federal funding freeze. If you want help deciding what to say my colleagues created this template - customized for Tennessee concerns about research grants but easily modifiable for other states and issues. 1/ docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Scientists have ~36 hours to mobilize intense pressure on 8 republican senators to oppose leadership of #RFK at HHS (which controls #NIH). This is a critical, direct way to say no to the chaos and reign in Trump admin. Each essential state below w/ journalists & senate contact. 1/many 🧵

"As of today, it looks as though Donald Trump is in the process of freezing federally-funded cancer research in the United States," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social

I’m excited to share a recently published article that I’ve been working on for what seems like forever. In a sample of regular cannabis users, we found that a blunted frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) response to an acute laboratory stress task was associated with more cannabis-related problems but…1/4

Got a JIT for my modestly scored A0 F31 application. The status says “Pending administrative review”. My PI says this means it will be funded, but I’m trying to keep my expectations low in case he’s wrong. Anyone have any insight on this? Any tips to control my urge to compulsively refresh Commons?

I've started a new cannabis research starter pack! It's a work in progress - please reply here or message me if you want to be added :) I know I'm missing a lot of folks here, just threw something together quickly go.bsky.app/FPKwE4w

I’m preparing a resubmission to my F31 application and am trying to address a weakness related to my plan for RCT training. I am struggling to find any kind of didactic training for RCTs aimed at grad students. Do you know of any workshops or seminars that might fit what I’m looking for?

Hey everyone, i created an addiction starter pack and I am sure I am missing folks - please send me a note to get added. go.bsky.app/KVDa5PD
