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!" 🧵

Hi! Hello! This is fascism! And bc I’m writing my dissertation on alcohol use, I figured I’d give a high level overview for interested parties… A thread 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/h...

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...

Good coverage! Let’s continue to work to get the word out about the damage to science. whyy.org/articles/fed...

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?

The Orange Menace advocates no accountability for his handling of the economy.

Professional organizations should work together to think about this issue and submit responses.

📣 New preprint from the SCIMaP team! Across three studies, we show that communicating the economic impact of NIH funding cuts—especially with interactive quizzes and maps—decreases approval and motivates action to oppose the cuts, across the political spectrum. 🧵 1/8 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Trump’s NIH cuts are hitting cancer research hard. NCI scientists say grant funding has been slashed, lifesaving trials canceled, and top researchers pushed out. It's a crisis in the making, and lives are on the line. NIH employees spoke out. Support them here ➡️zurl.co/2AW7t zurl.co/6FaQW

Vought and his “no more NIH money out the door” footnote is a power struggle. Between R’s getting antsy about hard votes and Senate signaling support for science funding, Vought had to signal his dominance in some way. Now is the real test: are R’s more afraid of Trump et al. or their constituents?

Hey folks: A little while aback, @jschleiderphd.bsky.social and I created a repository of SOPs to help folks prepare for grad applications. If you'd like to add your SOP, feel free to use this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Of note, mask as you desire as I will be posting them as is.

FWIW - the dissertation as a RR went very smoothly. It was a helpful backbone for doubling down with the proposal as a contract of how to proceed. The PCI timeline worked very well, too, for having the proposal internally approved and reviewer suggestions brought back to the committee for discussion

ok... as science funding is getting more challenging, we need some ideas for garnering support. I propose OnlyLabs -- a subscription service where you make micro-requests for a fee for senior PIs to do research tasks on camera: make a plot; conduct an analysis; run a gel; code animal behavior.

While my son is away for 2 weeks at scout camp, I’ve been delegated the responsibility of keeping his Duolingo streak intact. That’s pressure.

Does anyone know anyone doing research on emetophobia, the phobic fear of vomiting? We are building a network of researchers and therapists who are trying to improve the knowledge in this field.
