Our youth suicide prevention lab is thrilled to be recruiting a PhD student this year for our NEW Clinical Psychology PhD Program at Old Dominion University @oduclinpsycphd.bsky.social! See additional details here: www.odu.edu/psychology/g...

(1/6) New pre-print alert! 🤩🚨 We provide new evidence for contra-hedonic functions of NSSI & ED behaviors in adolescents. See 🧵 for a brief summary 👇 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Check out our new paper "Before the attempt: How people think and plan in suicide crises." We characterized contemplation & planning in suicide crises, and identified factors that related to classification in the attempt group (vs. a plan-only group). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🎉 After 2 years of work, our #OpenScience guide for researchers in developing countries is LIVE! Check out our new preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... We map the opportunities 🌟 + barriers 🧱 facing Global South researchers. *(1/4)*

there was a new study published *today* in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%. when we say that the New York Times (and other rags of equal repute) is killing us, that's because *IT IS LITERALLY KILLING US*

“This Pride Season, we’re honoring that legacy - the legacy of those who came before us, who channeled their righteous anger into liberation, who practiced self-care as resistance, and who built networks of care that allowed our community not just to survive, but to grow.”

We’re updating the list of suicide researchers who may take a grad student for 2026: shorturl.at/yTT9n Applicants - this year may feel especially heavy. Hope this brings you a little direction, hope, and a reminder that you’re not alone. You are the future. Let your voice shape what comes next.

New article: Experts in traumatic stress are concerned about global impact of what is happening in U.S. "The fallout for science and humanity may be profound." www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Fascinating presentation using machine learning to identify groups of individuals based on intensity and duration of ideation and attempt history at @suicideresearchsym.bsky.social by @irenexu.bsky.social!

"We conclude that the standard behavioral scores (difference scores based on reaction time or accuracy) derived from the emotional dot-probe task are not adequately reliable measures of attentional biases to threat in anxious or nonanxious populations" @ CPS journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

We've just pre-printed our first article with @socarxiv.bsky.social 🥳 (not our first article from this team, or this project, but our first ever pre-print!!) The cruel optimism of suicide prevention: thinking beyond the mental health model: doi.org/10.31235/osf...

I started taking a new med in one bad bout of depression where I was totally numb. I have a vivid memory of sitting in a college class, fully distracted by a weird buzzing feeling in my chest. I couldn't figure it out. After a few minutes I realized, oh my god. I was starting to just feel again. 1/

Really cool approach and well written tutorial. It’s awesome that dot probe’s reliability is gaining more attention and we shift the perspective to examining how to use it more reliably rather than assuming it’s reliable. Great work!

An unspoken requirement to access suicide prevention care on helplines is a person must 1st overcome fear of disclosing to a counselor @danielcoppersmith.bsky.social @kathrynfox.bsky.social & I call for self-guided DMHIs like safety planning to be accessible on helplines along w/counselor support ⬇️

This important study provides valuable insights into young people's experiences with suicidal thoughts, highlighting crucial opportunities for early intervention and the role of language in discussing mental health challengesT acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Interesting study on transitions between emotional states in individuals with PTSD and healthy controls:

We have just published a free-for-research-use, higher-quality, inclusive alternative to the highly influential Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test of #socialcognition, #theoryofmind, and #faceexpression. The press release is here: www.wellesley.edu/news/an-accu....

New study on type 1 diabetes! Momentary cognition is vulnerable to glucose fluctuations in T1D, and this effect is magnified in the context of diabetes-related health conditions. Led by the incredible Zoe Hawks, @lauragermine.bsky.social and Naomi Chaytor www.nature.com/articles/s41...

RA JOB Opportunity! Our lab is looking for a full time study coordinator! We study suicide & self-injury using EMA. Check out the link for more details: jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/researc...

Very cool website, R package, and tutorial paper on preprocessing data from ESM / EMA studies. Website: preprocess.esmtools.com Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Over 200 respondents on the psychology faculty starting salary transparency survey now! We are blown away by the generosity of so many early career scholars, as well as more senior folks <3 Survey still open and data are free to download if anyone wants to analyze! #PsychSciSky #thisispedpsych
