We talk a lot about why adolescent girls report more low mood and anxiety, and why this might be getting worse. But what do girls themselves think might explain this? As you might have guessed, we don’t really know. So, we asked them: doi.org/10.1186/s129... 1/8

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

Many patients with stage 4 cancers, like myself, rely on clinical trials as our last hope for survival when our first, second, and third line treatments fail--and these treatments will eventially fail--these clinical trials are what we have left to try to survive.

Update: Unofficial word training directors are hearing is the hiring freeze won’t impact psychology interns or post docs.

During my maternity “leave” last sem, I helped write 3 trainee fellowship applications to NIH & NSF. Probably ~50 hrs of my time, certainly hundreds of theirs. All have reviews occurring in ~month. In some cases it affects their ability to stay in my lab. This grant review shutdown is devastating.

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46 For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

Step 1) find your rep www.congress.gov/members/find... Step 2) send an email or call their office Step 3) tell them that federal spending on scientific advancement is the best hope we have to “win against china” or whatever these guys are obsessed with these days

If you are ready to advocate to your representatives (or friends and families) about the economic value of NIH funded research, you can check your state at www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Highly recommended reading! I vividly recall conversations with a supervisor about the negative consequences from well-intentioned posts on social media. We can destigmatize mental health w/o pathologizing normal struggles (and contributing to the problem) www.nytimes.com/2023/11/18/o...

Oh my goodness. It is so good to be here.
