@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!!

A critical song that I put on repeat in my marathon of a day writing up my entire dissertation.

How to read data into R from the OSF without losing your mind. reilly-lab.github.io/Jamie_HowOSF...

Looking forward to an invited talk at APS this month. I'll be discussing estimands, linear models, and set theory, debuting a new R package (w/ @nicolasleenaerts.bsky.social), and sharing some data from an ongoing emotion regulation study that identifies sufficient conditions for emotional distress.

Despite the well-polished workflow of this package, I tried to analyze the “useless data set” that comes with it using {mediation}. Treatment and mediator were (strongly) confounded, so we need to pay close attention to the sensitivity analysis!

A visualization I created to share with family and friends about how the NIH indirect rate costs will hurt science AND our economy.

news.arizona.edu/news/new-pre... Out today - our protocol paper describing an ENORMOUS effort led by Ellen Driessen leveraging all available RCT data from depression trials comparing ADM/CT/BA/IPT/PDT (>60 studies, nearing 10K patients) to develop precision treatment selection decision support tools

I am teaching my phd writing workshop course this quarter, question: are there any words/phrases said to you by an advisor/mentor that stuck with you, were memorable, or particularly helpful? If so please reply below!

In a new study published in JAMA Network Open, the team of @vjrp.bsky.social & @qmmmmliu.bsky.social shows how the stigma parents in sexual and gender families encounter is associated with their children's mental health. go.illinois.edu/vq

Check out our new (and timely) publication co first with @mingcong.bsky.social!

Congratulations! So well deserved!

New paper alert: Revised Network Loadings, by Alexsander P. Christensen, Hudson Golino, Francisco Abad, and Luis Garrido (2025). Link: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

good piece on last week's devastating cuts to queer health research: "This termination has broader implications ... It sets a concerning precedent where scientific inquiry is stifled by political rhetoric, potentially erasing entire communities from research agendas" - @britshmit.bsky.social

Hello friends! New week new publication from me led by the hardworking and talented superstar Tiffany Tran. Who knew perceived parental warmth and control in adolescence could have this long lasting of an impact on adult daily life?! Check it out at www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Honestly soul crushing. Hundreds of hours of work from so many dedicated people.🙃 Does anyone have any grant that is being reviewed as usual… or is our grant (related to SGM) special… trying to figure out if this is NIH wide or content specific or grant specific… many thanks.

Hello Friends, new month new pub! Check out “Practical Problems Estimating and Reporting Power When Hypotheses Are Embedded in Complex Statistical Models” by David A. Cole, George Abitante, Hoi Kan, me, Kristopher J. Preacher, and Scott E. Maxwell journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I am thrilled to announce that, starting in July 2026, I will join the Department of Psychology at Harvard University as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Clinical area! It really feels like a dream come true. I can’t wait to build my lab in such an incredible department.

Hello friends, new pub for the new year with pretty new figures w/ Shannon Shaughnessy, @tiffaaanytran.bsky.social, and me, on tonic and phasic irritability in adults experiencing symptoms of depression! Free access till March: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kNHM_3m9t...

Another semester teaching undergraduate (mostly psychology major) students statistics with R programming:

This is the best paper you’ve probably never read. It covers underlying assumptions about what counts as a psychiatric disorder. For example, are disorders defined by their underlying nature or are they categories identified by us for specific uses? psychiatryonline.org/doi/epdf/10....

May the year of 2025 be the time when the gospel of Cole and Maxwell (2003) and Maxwell and Cole (2007) finally sink in and I no longer have to review, handle, or hear about papers with cross sectional mediations… or maybe we will have a breakthrough in metaphysics proving instantaneous causation.

My fault in misshaping into economics twitter but wow… riveting discussions…

Sharing over here as well! I’ll be reviewing applications for the UNM clinical psych PhD program this cycle. More here: bonessaddictionslab.wordpress.com/prospective-...

Hello, the quantitative psychopathology lab will be at @abctnow.bsky.social convention this year! Come for the presentations and stay to meet those superstars!

Now we are all on Bluesky I guess I’ll clean up my posts and be a proper academic here too….

Thank god for t.A.T.u, how else would I be able to power through this grant resubmission that’s essentially a tear down/gut renovation…

It’s another PhD recruitment season for many clinical psych labs to ponder on the important question of diversity and for many white PIs, the diversity question is difficult as it converges into the perennial tough choice between a brunette or a blonde (white) student.

From undergrad to tenure track, the amount of stress has steadily increased but also their uncontrollability has increased… Publishing was somewhat controllable as long as you keep writing and submitting but my perceived control for grants has remained 0 no matter how and how many I write them…

Hey folks! We are almost exactly two months from PhD program application deadlines. I wanted to let people know that I am hoping to admit a student for the Fall, 2025 semester here in our Clinical Science PhD program at the University of New Mexico psych.unm.edu/graduate/app...

Hello clinical psychology applicants! I am excited to be interviewing for a PhD graduate student to join my team Fall 2025 at @UCBerkeley. Our clinical science program is accredited by @PCSASNews. Our websites are in the comments. #sleep #sleep&circadian #Impsci.

Can’t believe I’ll submit my 4th R01 and resubmit 2 R01s from last year all in the same cycle 💀 This won’t be necessary anymore once I actually start getting some grants right? Right? Right?

My new publication is out: THREE new models to help you simultaneously identify subgroups based on interindividual differences and states based on intraindividual changes. Paper is out at onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/N… and the code is open at osf.io/yjzsm/!

My productivity has risen with the rise of Chappell Roan. Is this causal?

Excited to share that my friend and co-author @qmmmmliu.bsky.social and I wrote about how we landed job interviews and professorships straight out of our PhD programmes. Read now in Nature in a two-part story: www.nature.com/articles/d41... www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Oh wow I’ve finally started an “academic discourse” in that other place we don’t talk about. I’ve made it, mom 🫂😭.

Three 3-year positions for doctoral researchers in Mannheim in the Research Training Group "Statistical Modeling in Psychology": www.uni-mannheim.de/smip/applica...

Asking for a friend…. but how do you address reviews that are just nonspecific grievances and opinions on the general topic of your paper that are largely out of scope or not discussed in your paper?

I haven’t posted here in a while but I wanted to share my story of how I made a place for myself in academia, now in Science www.science.org/content/arti... #ScienceWorkingLife #AcademicChatter #ScienceTwitter

I thought about getting a mini wine fridge to age a few bottles of wine to open if and when I get tenure. What wine should I do?

🙊

Finally done with teaching undergrads the first time… I know it’s surreal that I’ve only taught graduate statistics classes before. So was my class an effective intervention for improving cognition and affect towards statistics & programming?

I’ll soon be free from grant deadlines for like 1.5 months at least. What am I gonna even do with myself? Like actual research????

Hello, my lab website has finally arrived! sites.google.com/bu.edu/qpl/
