So excited to have this paper published in JCCP! @lluaces.bsky.social and I conducted a nation-wide fully remote RCT with over 800 participants to test a self-guided 4-week behavioral activation therapy tool in online workers and found significant improvements in anxiety, depression, and well-being!

🚨 Spread the word! We're (w/ @whitneyringwald.bsky.social & @aleksakaurin.bsky.social) organizing a special issue at PD:TRT focused on innovations for measuring context in ambulatory assessment studies of personality pathology. We'd love for you (yes, you) to submit a proposal (deadline Nov. 14th):

The Trump administration's latest layoffs include HUD staffers who investigate fair housing complaints, "disease detectives," and the team that publishes the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

You learn better when you test yourself on an answer before you study it? Even more counterintuitive, our findings showcase that there is not one direct mechanism to this effect. Thank you @charan-neuro.bsky.social , @xiaonanl.bsky.social , and @jameswardantony.bsky.social ! doi.org/10.1037/xlm0...

Thrilled to share that I am planning to admit a grad student and will be reviewing applications to the clinical psychology PhD program at Miami University! Excited to mentor and learn from future mentees! For information about my lab and application FAQ, check out: www.seahpepl.com/joincontact-...

The cruelty is a feature not a bug folks. Past time for that "head down focus on the science" bs - step up and start fighting back

I’m starting a suicide prevention research lab at UMass Amherst! I’ll be reviewing applications for our clinical psychology PhD program. Come to our virtual open house to learn more about the program and speak with faculty accepting students. www.umass.edu/psychologica...

The @nsf has also decided that clinical psychology is not eligible for NSF. This is a crock of 💩 Clinical psych (actually clinical science) is a RESEARCH degree. Let’s just completely not support research training in mental health then. Bad bad bad bad decision

New solicitation completely cuts funding for Clinical Psychology. That’s an absolute travesty.

The GRFP announcement from NSF cuts out an entire cohort of 2nd year students from consideration, without warning. This is so deeply unfair that it warrants a formal protest from the scientific community. If someone wants to work with me to craft an open letter and solicit signatures, LMK.

If you’re an H1B holder impacted by the new Trump executive order there are several lawsuits brewing. This is one, and there are others working in this as well. DM me if you need a connect to pro bono lawyers. redeaglelaw.com/lawsuit-inte...

Unfortunately, ASFP will not be operating this fall, as our volunteers are facing challenges to the complex technical systems underlying our program. We are deeply frustrated we cannot support every applicant this fall, and hope to be back in fall 2026. 1/3

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Alarmingly, Black student enrollment is decreasing in the University of Michigan's psychology doctoral program. In my year (last year), there were 5 of us. This year, there is 1 student, representing 2% of the entire cohort. Op Ed from Dr. Kevin Cokley. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/blac...

It’s #TraineeTuesday! Meet Kellyann Navarre, an Adjunct Psychology Professor at Michigan’s MCCC and a researcher with the Yale UPLiFT Lab and University of Toronto. Her work focuses on personality disorders and real-time outcomes like suicidality, NSSI, and emotion

President Trump’s FY26 budget for #NSF will slash funding for the agency by 56.9% and funding for Social, Behavioral, and Economic sciences by 67.6% These cuts will end US STEM leadership, weaken national security, and set-back individual prosperity and well-being.

A University of Florida student wrote a paper arguing that the U.S. Constitution only applies to white people. His professor gave him an award

Harvard hired a researcher to uncover its ties to slavery. He says the results cost him his job: ‘We found too many slaves’

So, that’s not an impeachable offense? 🤨

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.
