Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Good news: I've completed the qualitative interviews for my F31/diss project. Bad news: transcription checking and analysis are on hold while I turn my house upside down looking for my air pods.

I'm finally recruiting for my dissertation! If you know anyone who is recently postpartum, send them my way!

We’re happy to share that the #SAA2026 abstract submission deadline has been extended to 30 January. Don’t miss the opportunity to submit your abstract! @ambulatory-assessment.org @univie.ac.at univie.eventsair.com/saa2026/submission

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Today is the 13th anniversary of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, which resulted in 26 deaths, 20 of them 6 and 7-year-olds. That we did not limit access to guns after Sandy Hook, once and for all, makes the deaths at Brown University all the more heartbreaking. We must end this now.

10/10 recommend. Ryan is a great mentor and ND/south bend is very livable. And this is coming from someone who’s very critical 😂

Thank you all the program officers at NIH that persisted through the 2025 fiscal year and were able to fund 99% of the total FY2024 budget. I know this has take a toll on everyone at NIH. Thank you for supporting important health and behavior science and helping to keep the U.S. a leader in science.

Excited to share that I am officially recruiting a postdoc to study the neurobiology of addiction! Looking for someone who would be excited to lead current projects in the lab and develop new directions in related areas. More info: bearlab.science/opportunities/

On Trump, autism and tylenol: A student I was talking to today had it exactly right on this latest White House bullshit claim “It’s at the perfect intersection of hating disabled people and wanting women to be in pain” There’s not only no link, the claim is both ableist and misogynist.

“… just days after a gunman sprayed over 500 bullets across the CDC campus, the government fired over 150 violence and injury prevention specialists”

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Feeling proud, excited, and truly relieved to have gotten a notice of award yesterday for an F31!

Would be so fun!

Not too long ago there was bipartisan support for supportive “housing first” for people on the streets: it’s safe, humane, reduces crime, reduces hospitalization, & saves the community $. This ain’t it.

The first rule of homelessness policy is that it must be cruel. The second rule is that it must be expensive. The current GOP idea is to move from "spend a lot so cops, paramedics, and ERs can shuffle them around" to "spend a lot to put them in jail." God forbid we just provide basic shelter.

American Psychological Foundation released a call for applications for crisis funding to support early career researchers who had grants terminated. Looks like a great opportunity! ampsychfdn.org/funding/dacf/

...housing first cut veteran homelessness by half & was developed because requiring abstinence had failed, but sure, fine, the cruelty is obviously the point...

I am recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to join my lab at Dartmouth. The ideal candidate will have experience in EMA, passive physiological data, and/or digital therapeutics. Interest and/or experience in chronic pain and co-occurring disorders is preferred. apply.interfolio.com/169836

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Duke appears to have lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies, or signal transduction www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025...

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

Led by my student, Ian McNamara, we found pain and alcohol were related in daily life in patients with chronic pain, though it's a lot more complex than a social media post can convey Ian did a great job with an unreasonable number of analyses that really call into question the person advising him

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

My dept is looking for a new dept head!!! (please share) I've appreciated my 1st year in the HDFS dept at Auburn. I love the balance between basic & applied research & the values stemming from being a land grant university. If you're interested, apply by 8/15! www.auemployment.com/postings/53618

PI: "this draft is so great, why didn't we write it this way in the first place??" PhD student: "I did, and then you told me to change it"

Racist and sexist roots in the cancellation of NSF grants under Trump: Grants with female PIs canceled 2x more than men Grants with Black PIs canceled 4x over White PIs Grants with Hispanic PIs canceled 2x over White PIs Grants with PIs with disabilities canceled 2x more than without

Somehow survived my fourth year of grad school 🌸

For those with despair about today's extreme proposed funding cuts for NIH, NSF, NASA, NOAA, etc... remember: CONGRESS 👏 SETS 👏 BUDGET 👏 LEVELS Today's news is simply just the President's **request**. Tell your elected representatives to REJECT this assault on science and scientific training.

Dear Tenured Facility, Over the past 100 days my career trajectory has turned into a question mark. At best, the TT job market just got even crazier, at worst there won’t be research career options in the US when I finish my PhD. It took me a while to find my path and I love being a scientist. 1/x

This statement from the NSF is insane. Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false. Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

I just feel like guy who recently acquired a BRAIN WORM from EATING ROAD KILL shouldn’t be in charge of Health and Human Services…but what do I know?

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Devastated to hear this. www.statnews.com/2025/04/10/t...

📢 The SAA program is live at www.saa2025.com/Program and it’s almost too good to be true — but it is true! So many incredible symposia, paper sessions, and posters to choose from that you’re guaranteed some FOMO! 🤯

The entire National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) team at SAMHSA was terminated today. Do not listen to the platitudes of this administration when they say they care about drug overdose, addiction, mental health, or suicide.

Go hang out with Schyler since I can’t!

An important point getting overlooked: When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on *what* the grant studies. They're cancelling them based on *who* is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.

Are you highlighting #OpenScience activities in your CV, or know someone who does? I am looking for examples to include (of course in anonymized form) as examples in a book chapter. For example, I once came across a CV with small open science badges and would love to include this!

I’m getting serious CPA fomo today but a girl can only attend so many conferences

CDC’s tobacco program wasn’t eliminated to save money. Federal employee salaries are only about 4% of the Federal budget. The Office on Smoking & Health was eliminated BECAUSE our work is highly efficient and cost effective. Make no mistake that tobacco companies won today.
