My website is official 🙌 Excited to share that I am interested in reviewing applications for Harvard’s Clinical Science PhD program this fall as I look for the first student to join my lab! I appreciate it if you can share with your network :) psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/mark-...

Ever stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life? Very excited to share this gentle introduction to another way of making sense of statistical models (w @vincentab.bsky.social) Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

NSF GRFP deadline published! www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo... End of October! Solicitation seemingly on the way

Just defended my master’s thesis!

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!

The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

Want to do a PhD with me and the Emotions in Context Lab? We’re looking for new grad students to join us next fall! Check out the lab website to learn what we’re working on now and in the near future: www.emotionsincontextlab.com/join/

How I wish I wrote abstracts vs how I write abstracts…

Alarmingly, Black student enrollment is decreasing in the University of Michigan's psychology doctoral program. In my year (last year), there were 5 of us. This year, there is 1 student, representing 2% of the entire cohort. Op Ed from Dr. Kevin Cokley. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/blac...

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: 31 Days of Action – All August! Funding cuts. Banned words. Fired public servants. Trump & his cronies are dismantling America’s greatest experiment - our democracy - & with it, science. Between now & Sept 30th we decide: Are we a democracy… or an oligarchy? (1/4)

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...

Need to learn how to do simulation based power analysis for project planning and grants? In my last workshop for me for the summer, I teach folks how to use Mplus to do flexible power analysis for everything from regression to multilevel SEMs. Please RT! 🙏 1/ smart-workshops.com/mplus-power-...

I presented my first two symposiums this summer at @psychscience.bsky.social and @arpposts.bsky.social, the first of which I chaired! 🎉🎉 But I’m still learning a lot about science dissemination in these settings. What are your go-to tips/strategies for presenting at/attending research conferences?

For those considering post-bacc programs, here’s a fun paper I led describing 10 ways to thrive in them! Though the state of these programs is uncertain, I hope it’s still informative for students @[email protected] journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

June was a whirlwind for our post-bacc program. The grant that funds us was terminated 😣 But we had an amazing symposium & celebrated our scholars going to grad school🎉 🎓 Now the Ten Simple Rules paper authored by our scholars is finally published 🙌🏾 journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

Lab road trip to Association for Research in Personality conference is off!

Excited to present “Interpersonal Complementarity Across Levels of Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in BPD,” at ARP! @arpposts.bsky.social Come check it out Friday at 1:15 pm in the Rogers Room! @aidangcw.bsky.social @annikafrom.bsky.social @hasaganitissera.bsky.social & Kathryn Bollich-Ziegler

Call for papers for a Brain, Behavior, and Immunity special issue on precision immunopsychiatry of depression! If you have a project in the pipeline that fits the bill, we encourage you to submit. www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu... @pnirs.bsky.social

For a social drug, there is surprisingly little lab research on alcohol use in social settings. Check out this new paper by Kasey Creswell and friends (myself included) that adds to this small but critical body of work. www.psychologicalscience.org/article?ru=h...

Today, NSF added another 500 GRFP awardees, bringing this year’s total to 1500 www.research.gov/grfp/Awardee...

Research Saves Lives At Hopkins, we just went live with an expansive website showing the extraordinary value of research, the impact of cuts to research, what's at stake, resources for our research community, etc. Check it out: researchsaveslives.jhu.edu

Care about suicide research? Then you should care about how we measure suicide-related constructs! Very proud to share this viewpoint led by @kirstenchristensen.bsky.social, recently accepted at J Psychopathology and Clinical Science 🥳 osf.io/preprints/ps...

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

Need to analyze intensive longitudinal data or panel data? Multilevel or mixed effects modeling offers one of the most powerful methods to do so. Join my 3-day (June 18-20) workshop for longitudinal multilevel modeling to learn how. 1/2 smart-workshops.com/long-mlm-info

PSA that NIH BRAINS RFA is terminated Easy to miss (at least to me and one grants admin) because the change was listed in Notice NOT-OD-25-113, not in the main body of the solicitation

We’re updating the list of suicide researchers who may take a grad student for 2026: shorturl.at/yTT9n Applicants - this year may feel especially heavy. Hope this brings you a little direction, hope, and a reminder that you’re not alone. You are the future. Let your voice shape what comes next.

At APS? Come to our symposium "Advancing Dimensional Models of Psychopathology: Bridging Psychometric, Behavioral, and Neurodevelopmental Perspectives on the HiTOP Framework"! (Friday at 1) I'll be presenting working linking HiTOP to *actual behavior* assessed by smartphone sensors.

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

There’s been some “advice” coming from some quarters for scientists not to focus on DEI-related funding cuts. I wholly reject this concept. Cutting programs designed to reduce science and healthcare disparities is as detrimental to science as anything else, both morally and functionally.

All NIH and NSF grants for my entire team--and for all of Harvard, I guess?--have been terminated. As provocative as that sounds, the practical effect is probably not much. Everything was already frozen. 🤷‍♂️ On the upside, it makes tracking terminated grants easier. No more guesswork at Harvard!

New preprint with @hollysully.bsky.social & @kevinmking.bsky.social: Alcohol intoxication and negative mood similarly affect reward learning but not punishment learning in the Iowa Gambling Task doi.org/10.31219/osf...

Hello my #autistic #actuallyautistic #ND and #disability friends. I am putting together a starter pack on Autism/ND/disability platforms—I am also happy to add any individuals who would like to be included. Please make recs! We need community to fight RFK Jr.🧪♿️ go.bsky.app/wbCudt

All #NIH grants have now terminated here at #Harvard, including ours, which examined shared/distinct underlying neural & cognitive mechanisms between typical/atypical #arithmetic and #reading skills. Results would have been invaluable for development of #screening, diagnostic, & intervention tools.

Just published in JoPACS! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40323898/ What is urgency and how should we best assess it in the moment? A thread 🧵 1/n

The NIH has dropped its research funding by $2.7 billion so far this year. Cancer research funding has declined 31%. And new NIH research grants fell to the lowest level in more than a decade. Eye-opening findings in today's HELP committee minority report: www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Finished my 1st year of my PhD program! 🎉🎉 Definitely a challenging year but it’s been so exciting and rewarding to fully engage with research, teach my first class, and mentor several young scientists. Many thanks to my cohort for all the support this year!

Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.

Thrilled to be giving this talk to the IRACDA community here at Rutgers! ✨ because ALL of these programs are necessary and important!!
