I'm so delighted to share that this fall, I’ll be pursuing my PhD in Clinical Psychology at Yale under the mentorship of @dylanggee.bsky.social! 11 y/o Mariana, who presented her research on the brain and behavior at the Calgary Science Fair, is freaking out (some research interests never change ☺️)

Very exciting and interesting piece!!

✨ Only a few spots left for the Oxford Psychological Networks Summer School (OxPNS)! Held at the magical Magdalen College in Oxford, from June 22-26, 2026. Sign up here: oxfordpns.com

Super excited to share that after graduating from Smith College this May, I’ll be joining @shirleybwang.bsky.social‘s Computational Clinical Science Lab at Yale University as a lab manager! Huge thank you to everyone who supported me throughout the process, so excited for everything ahead 🥳

Curious about how psychological theories are built, tested, and refined in practice? This summer, the Theory Methods Society is launching the very first edition of the summer school Theory Building in Psychology at the University of Amsterdam (July 6–10, 2026). theorymethodssociety.org

I am elated to share that I will be joining Yale's Clinical Psychology PhD program this fall, under @shirleybwang.bsky.social's mentorship! I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue working with the wonderful team at the CCS Lab, and to everyone in my corner who helped make this happen! 😊

New paper out today in JCCAP! We outline future directions for mathematical, computational, & digital methods in suicide research @leilyb.bsky.social @sharinahamm.bsky.social @francesghart.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thrilled to receive this grant! We'll use digital phenotyping & computational modeling to study digital/social media, AI, and mental health in adolescents and young adults. huofamilyfoundation.org/news/updates...

Serving as lab manager for the CCS Lab has been the best post-bacc experience I could have imagined! This is a dream position for anyone seeking further training in intensive longitudinal designs/computational approaches, especially for suicide & eating disorders! Please share!🙏

New preprint‼️ Thrilled to end 2025 with new work extending my undergrad honors thesis showing that interpretable machine learning can classify young children’s engagement in dyadic, psychotherapy-like tasks from live fNIRS data of the vlPFC and dlPFC 🧠 🧵👇 OSF👉 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

New preprint alert🚨 We often rely on 0-10 scales to assess suicide urges in EMA and clinical settings. But we rarely ask a surprisingly important question: What do these numbers mean? In our new paper, we examine what these ratings mean and how consistently people use them. More info ⬇️

New preprint alert! (1/5)🌟 I’m thrilled to share the preprint of my first first-authored PhD paper! We test whether shared reinforcement functions help explain why adolescents who engage in one self-destructive behavior often engage in others. Summary⬇ osf.io/preprints/ps...

What a week! After 5 days, the #mitnb workshop has come to an end. We had a keynote on time scales and two workshops on careless responding and reliability. The central part of the workshops were the hackathons. We had super diverse hackathons, all designed to assess measurement in #ESM. (1/4)

What an incredible resource for the field! Thanks & congrats to @bsiepe.bsky.social and the whole team!

Honored to present my finished master’s thesis in a symposium at #SRP2025 this weekend with Jessica Hamilton, Jasmine Mote, Renata Botello, and Dan Fulford! @sydadams.bsky.social @aidangcw.bsky.social @jmote.bsky.social

Had a great time presenting my poster exploring people's thoughts & feelings about death w/ #BERTopic this evening at the Society for Research in Psychopathology Annual Meeting! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat– it was wonderful learning more about others' work and nerding out! 💀🪦 #SRP2025

I reply here to Mickey Inzlicht’s critique of our assessment of the TMT literature -led by former grad students, Lihan Chen and Rachele Benjamin. We consider the question of how can we best evaluate a literature and, judging from his critique, reach a controversial conclusion.

Last week I declared terror management theory dead and accused my friend Steve Heine of motivated reasoning. Steve responded like the mensch he is with a solid rebuttal instead of blocking me. Read his guest post and tell us both who you think is right in the comments!

(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...

Woohoo! We had so much fun working on this! 🤩

Emotions are reactions to situations we encounter in daily life. In our new paper in Psych Review (psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...; with @oisinryan.bsky.social and @fdabl.bsky.social), we take a first step towards building a generative model for emotion dynamics based on this simple principle 1/4

First annual CCS Lab holiday party! And a wrap on our first semester :) So grateful to work with this amazing crew! @francesghart.bsky.social @sharinahamm.bsky.social
