Moral dilemma: I didn’t make my family’s fantasy football league playoff. My wife is in the semi-final and needs a TE. Do I drop him so my wife can pick him up?

"Schrödinger's causal inference" (n): The practice of making causal claims or interpretations within a scientific article - typically in the title, abstract, implications, or conclusion - while simultaneously warning that the study design is unsuitable for causal inference.

Folks who are going to APS next summer: @olinotom.bsky.social and I are thinking of proposing a symposium on rethinking/reconceptualizing comorbidity (still finalizing a specific topic) and are looking for a couple of other folks to present. Anyone potentially interested? Feel free to DM!

I will be reviewing applications for @unm.edu's Clinical Psychology as well as Diversity and Health Data Science Across the Lifespan PhD programs. Both deadlines are December 1! psych.unm.edu/graduate/ind...

My 8th grader had a lab report to finish this weekend. I plotted his data and estimated a linear regression model. The model explained 98.8% of the variance! I was so jealous... the lab applied a constant heat source to an initial mixture of ice water, but still! 98.8%!!

If they've got enough money for these donations, they've got enough money to pay a higher tax rate.

If AI is so smart, why can't the AI bots sending me spam realize that I'm not going to respond and stop sending more emails?

And very concerning language about clinical psych students. Sounds like they’re not eligible, even if the project goals aren’t focusing on clinical outcomes…

The #NSFGRFP solicitation is out. Deadlines are pushed to Nov. 10, 12, 13, 14. However, 2ND-YEAR GRADUATE STUDENTS ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE. This is unfair to those who delayed applying or who withdrew last year due to missing letters (please contact me if this is you). www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Please share with anyone who cares about NSF support for graduate students and take 30 seconds to sign and leave a comment. The deadline for the 2025 Graduate Research Fellowship Program is about one month away and literally no one can apply. #NSFGRFP jasonjwilliamsny.github.io/grfp2025/

Does anyone know of a measure assessing perceptions of therapy/treatment among youth? Thx!

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and Education Secretary Linda McMahon are against schools giving kids standardized questionnaires about their mental well-being. But experts say they are wrong.

I'm curious about looking at non-linear relations between symptoms and impairment... Anyone have a good lead on recommendations for regression discontinuity or spline regression? There seem to be a *lot* of methods, but they're not commonly used in my sphere of psychology... Thanks!

@qmmmmliu.bsky.social and I just gave a presentation for the UChicago internship program on writing faculty job statements. We talked through what makes them compelling (and what to avoid). Slides are here if interested 👉 osf.io/3skx4/?view_... Thanks to Dr. Shona Vas inviting us!!

There comes a time in every tyrannical regime where people must decide how much shit they want in their brownies. We are at this crossroads now and I'd like to show you how this looks in action, why science and democracy are always besties, and why the answer is "no shit in my brownies, thx!" 🧵

Kristi Noem isn't just a walking disaster — she's causing them too. Stripping billions from FEMA and wiping out federal emergency response will hurt and kill Americans. And punishing employees for speaking out about it is illegal.

APS Fellow Tim Wilson is working on a project called "What We'll Never Know," which involves making brief videos of researchers who have lost their #funding. Watch the videos here and spread the word: @never-know.bsky.social #SciComm #ScienceFunding

Some news on GRFP…

Thousands who hope to apply this year to NSF GRFP are working on applications, but with no guidance from a solicitation. NSF's .org website no longer exists. Will the program continue? NSF needs to hear from you! PLEASE email concerns to [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] #grfp

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

At least 2 of us are very confused!

Any folks have guesses about when/if the new NSF GRFP proposal instructions/portal will be opened this year? Trying how to gauge how to help navigate students with proposals...

I've gotten stuck in complaining about this to lovely people... any constructive thoughts that folks have put on paper that could be a collective voice to submit? One option of no cap on money spent to be in compliance; or permit other non-paywalled sharing of accepted manuscripts; any others?
