Really interesting, brief ideas paper. Clearly relevant to treatment research-- the mechanism by which you leave an illness state is unlikely to just be the opposite of the mechanism by which you entered it (can see how this might apply to e.g. SSRIs in depression).

Thrilled to share a new paper in @jamapsychiatry.com on path asymmetry in complex dynamic systems of psychopathology! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... With amazing collaborators @tfblanken.bsky.social, Han van der Maas, & Denny Borsboom 🥳

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

In some personal news...I got married last weekend to my best friend & love of my life! It was truly the most magical weekend filled with endless love, laughter, joy, and happy tears 🥹💛

I'm happy to announce that Vanderbilt Psychology's clinical area is hiring a TT asst prof this year! Please share with your networks and consider applying if you're on the market! Happy to (try to) answer questions about the search if you have them. Link here: apply.interfolio.com/173316

Interested in applying to graduate programs or research positions in psychology? Want more information and feedback on your submission materials? Then Harvard’s Prospective Ph.D. & RA Event in Psychology (PPREP) Is for you!! psychology.fas.harvard.edu/pprep More info in the link!! Please retweet!

Frankly, I have seen enough. Secretary Kennedy should be fired immediately. He's destroying the agency responsible for keeping diseases (like measles and Ebola) under control. This is deadly serious.

Amazing opportunity to be a colleague with one my favorite people who is doing some of the coolest clinical science @shirleybwang.bsky.social ! Encourage everyone to apply!

In personal news: t-1 month until we get married! Looking back on some favorites from our engagement photos last year 💛

Want to do research on self-harm/suicide? That’s good, it’s a critical topic. But it’s also not one you want to “just do it,” you want to approach it thoughtfully and carefully. This workshop (on 8/21) will help you with that if you’re interested in this area: smart-workshops.com/sitb-info

When your friend is famous!!! @julia-a-leonard.bsky.social inspired by you always 💛

Our wedding planner has started writing emails with ChatGPT and I can't tell you how much I hate it 😭 Like what are we paying for??

Thx to dream team: Cloos, @bsiepe.bsky.social, @marilynpicciri1.bsky.social, @eikofried.bsky.social, @shirleybwang.bsky.social, @mahelmich.bsky.social, Hoffart & Johnson. The results support accuracy & consistency of digital VAS & alleviate several key concerns about potential inaccuracies.

How Accurate & Consistent are Self-Report responses via Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) in Ecological Momentary Assessment & Digital Studies? Examined in a massive EMA study (N = 3,761), our new #OpenAccess piece on this is just out: online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky 🧵:

Potential grad applicants: I'm hoping to take 1-2 new students this cycle! There's no need to email me in advance unless you have specific questions that aren't answered on the lab or psych department's website - everyone's applications will be considered equally. u.osu.edu/mattlab/2025...

Check out this new exciting work by @francesghart.bsky.social! We find that contra-hedonic functions of NSSI & eating disorder behaviors are not just present but *prevalent*. In other words: sometimes people engage in self-destructive behaviors not to escape negative emotions, but to amplify them.

(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...

📣 Heads-up that our amazing dept (Berkeley Psych) is anticipating hiring *two* TT Asst Profs this Fall, under the themes of (1) Social & Personality Psychology, and (2) Biological Basis of Behavior. Official job ads coming soon... Send qs for (1) to Iris Mauss/Serena Chen, (2) to Linda Wilbrecht

So excited to teach this workshop on machine learning next week w/ Jeff Girard! Registration is still open - come join us 🥳🤖 smart-workshops.com/ml-info

Hey, need to learn the fundamentals of machine learning for your work? Check out this livestream workshop by Jeff Girard and @shirleybwang.bsky.social It runs from July 14th-17th, 930am-430pm EDT smart-workshops.com/ml-info

Our paper "A fragmented field" has just been accepted at AMPPS. We find it's not just you, psychology is really getting more confusing (construct and measure fragmentation is rising). We updated the preprint with the (substantial) revision, please check it out. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Almost exactly one year after starting my lab (!), I'm thrilled to share our first preprint! 🥳 @leilyb.bsky.social @sharinahamm.bsky.social @francesghart.bsky.social We propose future directions for mathematical, computational, & digital methods to advance suicide research: osf.io/preprints/ps...

It's no secret that this admin has been awful & vindictive to the LGBTQ+ community, but officially removing the Trevor Project from the 988 infrastructure is a new low. You can still reach the Trevor proj. directly (call: 1-866-488-7386; text: 678-678). There is no excuse for this abuse.

“You don’t have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant,” he added. Lander is then led into an elevator with his hands behind his back as an aide can be heard asking, “Where are you taking the Comptroller of the city of New York?” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Scenes from New Haven #nokings

“We need an independent investigation of this,” says Sen. Elizabeth Warren on the forcible removal and handcuffing of Sen. Alex Padilla at a DHS press conference. “It is also time for Kristi Noem to resign. She needs to resign.”

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

“We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety and faithful stewardship of public resources.” Bravo to the brave folks at NIH who published the Bethesda Declaration this morning to hold this administration accountable! You can sign a letter…

Tanks rolling through the nation's capital. The president explicitly threatening peaceful, lawful protesters. On the other coast, the US Marines deployed on US soil against the American people. Just another Tuesday in Trump's America.

Breaking news: Staff at the National Institutes of Health have issued a declaration calling on their director to depoliticize the agency and reverse spending cuts.

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

🚨 Please share: Yale Psych & Med are hiring a clinical psychologist for Transitions Clinic (serving formerly incarcerated individuals). Therapy, assessment, groups in halfway houses, supervision opps. Strong EBT skills & interest in justice-impacted populations. sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Sear...

I'm excited to share a new preprint with @tfblanken.bsky.social, Han van der Maas, & Denny Borsboom! We discuss the striking (implicit) assumption of path symmetry in current theories of psychopathology, which is misaligned with complex dynamical systems. More here: osf.io/preprints/os...

Heads up! APA is urging anyone who cares about health and science to let their reps/senators know now that they should oppose the admin's murder budget. Easy to do here: www.votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAA... APA is plugged in. If they say NOW, listen! #StandUpForScience

I'm excited to teach two courses this summer through SMaRT workshops! Come join us 🤩 1. Machine Learning (July 14-17) w/ Jeff Girard: smart-workshops.com/ml-info 2. Assessing Suicidal and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (August 21) w/ @kathrynfox.bsky.social: smart-workshops.com/sitb-info
