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!!

1/n Out today in @jamapsychiatry.com: Interpretation Issues With the Patient Health Questionnaire Instructions. We find troubling variability in whether people think they should respond based on the frequency of the Sx or the frequency of being bothered by the Sx. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

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 ⬇️

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...

🔥🔥SAVE THE DATE!!🔥🔥 Join us at Yale for the 2026 Computational Psychiatry Conference July 14-16, 2026 www.cpconf.org @xiaosigu.bsky.social @yiplab.bsky.social @shirleybwang.bsky.social @alpowers7.bsky.social See you in New Haven!

📣🔥Thrilled to announce that 2026 Computational Psychiatry Conference will take place in New Haven, CT, btw July 14-16 - www.cpconf.org @robbrutledge.bsky.social @drrickadams.bsky.social @tobiasuhauser.bsky.social @docqhuys.bsky.social @clairegillan.bsky.social Sonia Bishop More info to come soon!

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 🥹💛

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

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...
