Husband is doing some pretty cool work!

Unfortunately was not able to participate in RSA as much as I would have liked this year. After a nice first day of presenting in a pretty cool symposium on drinking dynamics, I spent the rest of my time in New Orleans dealing with ongoing health issues (I’m ok). Anyway, here’s me with my poster.

Love is All. Yesterday, one year of marriage with my dearest friend @veronicarichards.bsky.social 🖤

Deadline: April 21. 3rd annual 3-day Insight mHealth Workshop (June 25-27). Create your own Apple/Android mHealth app. Fee: $500. Please re-post. @casbsstanford.bsky.social @digital-health.bsky.social @policysrnt.bsky.social @cpddorg.bsky.social @theaacr.bsky.social @abctstudentsig.bsky.social

Anyone know which national surveys include the full, 10-item AUDIT to assess alcohol use/problems?

Come work with me!

Had a blast eating all of the great gluten free food in Providence and presenting some of my research at #CPA2025.

The field of gender and sexual minority (LGBTQ) health is being erased. Hundreds of ongoing NIH grants being immediately terminated. Deb Umberson and my decade long longitudinal study on marriage and health joined the termination list last night.

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

Officially deactivated my X account (I haven’t used it in months but it still feels weird after building that network for ~6+ years)

We need to organize--let’s help each other. NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond. I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations. Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

I have confirmation from several sources now that all T32s, many F30s and F31s, and most or all Center awards (P30, P50) have been terminated at Columbia. This is quite damaging to research and to individuals. This is pure terrorism and cannot be legal. But litigation will take time...

Just a reminder that this walkout for science in the US is tomorrow: standupforscience2025.org If you can’t go (I can’t), please repost the hashtag #StandUpForScience when you see it. #neuroskyence #psychscisky

#Breaking - Federal judge extends restraining order on Trump administration’s cap on NIH indirect costs

Check out the updated @standupforscience.bsky.social website! Lots of local events within day-trips distance being organized by so many if getting to DC isn't within reach: standupforscience2025.org/local-event-...

Preparing seed grants to support NIH grant submissions when there seems to be an indefinite pause on new funding is…. Sad

Please share widely! We want a range of pre-doctoral trainees from both pre-clinical and psychosocial backgrounds. @rsaeducation.bsky.social @apadivision50.bsky.social

There are so many real reasons why he is not qualified to run HHS, let’s not do more harm to our already fragile public health system by perpetuating the stigma around substance use

Penn State has halted submission and *acceptance* of NIH grants pending the resolution of the overhead rate cut. This lost time will never be recovered. The economic cost to Pennsylvania is enormous and the cost to humanity immeasurable.

Psychologists and psych-adjacent folks concerned about NIH indirect costs reduction: APA has a petition and request you contact your reps. This means APA has decided to pursue this, so I think we should too: www.votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAA...

If your state isn’t represented among the plaintiffs, call your state’s AG office *right now*. Here’s an example script, filled in with info for OK: Hi there, my name is ___, I live at ___. I work as a ___ at ___. 🧵

Get in Dorks, we are going protesting. STAND UP FOR SCIENCE. MARCH 7th 12-4pm. DC AND YOUR STATE CAPITALS. More information to come.

It is ALL so devastating. For science, for inclusion, for medicine, for security, for higher education, for all of us.

First ISBRA bulletin that I contributed to since joining the comms committee! Check it out, and consider coming to New Orleans for the joint RSA-ISBRA meeting in June.

🎄spending the day with @veronicarichards.bsky.social, making espresso martinis for my family and slipping Lola strips of ham

Lola got groomed today and is feeling festive. She is also very bad at keeping her eyes open for pictures.

Views from my office are very cute right now 🥰

We stayed at a house with chickens the last couple of nights. Lola wasn’t so sure about them. I loved them.

After what feels like a lifetime, the IRB for my first NIH grant was finally approved! It feels like a 100 lb weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

X is not fun anymore. Not entirely sure how to use this/find my community yet but giving it a go. Quick intro: I’m an assistant prof at OUHSC studying alcohol-related consequences in young adults. I use alc sensors and EMA.
