🚨 New paper out in Current Directions in Psychological Science, with @matnoc.bsky.social! We review recent advances in digital & computational methods for understanding, predicting, and preventing suicide.

So excited to work with you @campbelllinker.bsky.social!! Welcome to the lab! 🥳

🤩🤩🤩 So excited for all the great things to come - @francesghart.bsky.social is a rising star!!

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! 😊

Are you a junior faculty member interested in spending 2-4 weeks at Princeton Psych? Consider applying for our Microsabbatical program! It’s a fully funded visit for professional development and creating long-term collaborations. psych.princeton.edu/diversity/mi...

New paper from our team: Can ML identify which adolescents benefit most from school-based mindfulness? In 8,376 students (MYRIAD trial), models detected statistically significant but clinically negligible differential effects (d ≈ .07–.08). Precision prevention is hard...

New preprint! We investigate the risk of algorithmic bias (across race/ethnicity, gender, and their intersection) in machine learning models predicting suicide attempts across 3 clinical settings in over 1.2 million patients. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Very proud that this is finally out! Come for the new auditory illusion, stay for the brain imaging and speech analysis…..

It’s been a year since this post. Life is…so different now. Yet, I’m sitting here on my living room floor, with my cold coffee, in the same robe, playing with my beautiful son. Just like I was when I wrote this. @standupforscience.bsky.social started with a skeet and an idea.

💥New paper alert! Dyadic Decisions About Effort: How Caregivers Shape Young Children’s Persistence (with @reutshachnai.bsky.social) One of my favorites! If you’re curious about what we’ve been up to in @leonardlearnlab.bsky.social, take a look! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

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 announce the Oxford Psychological Networks Summer School (OxPNS)! This is the first-ever psychological network analysis workshop in the UK, to be held in magical Oxford from June 22-26, 2026. To apply and for more information, please visit: oxfordpns.com A brief thread 🧵

You would think! We worked on articles of impeachment against him that were introduced 12/10/25 in the House. There is ONE (1) co-sponsor. You can tell your Rep to sponsor the articles here. It takes 10 seconds and you can do it every day. fight2win.standupforscience.net/campaign/153...

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

Supremely talented doctoral student Halle Fowler is hoping to put together an ABCT panel related to Deaf and Hard of Hearing suicide prevention or mental health. We have multiple qualitative and quantitative studies on DHH interpretation in mental health settings. We need help finding panelists!

These murderous goons must be stopped. This is wholly untenable.

For the first time in 25 years the United States is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status due to misinformation about vaccines from RFK Jr.. Measles weakens the immune system and opens doors for other illnesses that can become deadly. #RemoveRFKJr, Save Lives.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation say federal agents shot a man multiple times in south Minneapolis this morning. A video taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts shows agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him multiple times. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

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...

We're hiring! The Computational Clinical Science Lab @ Yale is seeking a full-time lab manager/research coordinator to start in early summer 2026. For more information about the position and to apply: forms.gle/LtQwVgPUfaGk... Please share widely & consider applying!

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Excited for the 1st lab paper to be live @biologicalpsych.bsky.social ! @emilyrperkins.bsky.social @keananjoyner.bsky.social and I discuss testing biology as simultaneous + unique predictors of different levels of psychopathology hierarchies 1/7🧵 www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S000...

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

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!🙏

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.

(1/9) New year, new preprint alert!! 🤩🚨 We provide new evidence linking intolerance of uncertainty and death anxiety in religious/spiritual individuals. Link: doi.org/10.31234/osf... See 🧵 for a brief summary 👇 #deathanxiety #intoleranceofuncertainty

Cool study in JAMA Psychiatry confirms what many have suspected for a while: PHQ (depression questionnaire) instructions are widely misinterpreted by patients. It is unfortunate that a questionnaire as shitty as PHQ-9 has become so ingrained & ubiquitous jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

They will use every opportunity: "Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she is directing a pause in a 'diversity immigrant visa' program after it was revealed that the suspect had entered the U.S. through it." Note: no change in gun policy. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Together with Don Robinaugh & a large team of interdisciplinary researchers, we just published a preprint on this topic: the importance of collaborations across disciplines to move forward mental health science. I hope you'll find it interesting, took a few years! osf.io/preprints/ps...

Our university press team asked me a few questions in regards to the new chair on Mental Health & Data Science. I sketch a bit of a vision on the importance of transdisciplinary work, and some obstacles to overcome. www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025...

Hegseth. Patel. Bongino. And now Bhattacharya ("too busy podcasting"). When you hire people based on their social media profiles, you get.... content creators. But we need DOD, the FBI, and the NIH to *work*.

So excited to see this out - huge congrats @depressionlab.bsky.social @margaritap.bsky.social @gudruneisele.bsky.social @eikofried.bsky.social & Josip Razum!!

From Sam McDougle's love of music has sprung a focus on how people learn and get better at motor skills – an area he sees as sometimes neglected in cognitive neuroscience. Read a new Q&A with him, a preview of his #CNS2026 YIA talk: www.cogneurosociety.org/taking-actio... @actlab.bsky.social

Let me understand you correctly, governments can care that people are being murdered?

Today is the 13th anniversary of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, which resulted in 26 deaths, 20 of them 6 and 7-year-olds. That we did not limit access to guns after Sandy Hook, once and for all, makes the deaths at Brown University all the more heartbreaking. We must end this now.

Check out two new preprints from the lab! First, led by @leilyb.bsky.social: when people rate a 6/10 on suicidal urge severity, what does that mean? And is it the same across people and across time? We use LLMs to examine the content & consistency of suicidal thoughts, in two longitudinal samples.

Examining the Content and Consistency of Suicidal Thoughts using Large Language Models: https://osf.io/8jx4u

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 ⬇️
