California’s newest residents have landed 🙌🏻

Some weeks are better left to the poets, and this is one for Mary Oliver. We said goodbye to our gentle giant River. Our house is now painfully quiet, but I know it just means there was a lot of love there, and I firmly believe that we are so damn lucky to love pets ❤️‍🩹

Being an eating disorder therapist is hearing your husband mutter to himself “a little light on carbs” while making lunch

Family sending packing encouragement to get to California

Interesting. I have a generous amount of skepticism about networks for practice *and* it would be cool to account for network density here. Maybe people find interest in densely connected networks?

Trevor Project released its annual LGBTQ youth mental health report. The results are shocking. 40% of trans youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could.

UNREAL. Rachel Entrekin shattered her own record and the overall record 🤯

We all enjoy good drag, so hear me out: wear derby fits but no derby.

One of those glorious days you know will rip your heart out

New paper— everyone is collecting intensive longitudinal data but recent review studies report that less than half of studies consider measurement/psychometrics. The paper covers a few foundational psychometric methods for ILD and provides a shiny app to apply them link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Still a NorCal person at heart but in visiting San Diego, I get it. Though I think I completed a bingo card of SoCal stereotypes within 5 minutes in Pacific Beach.

A fun race and a great cause! Virtual options too!

A full circle moment. I’m 35 and still have my childhood best friend’s home phone number memorized. This is not a flex; I could use the space.

Things down here are, to my knowledge, the most extreme example of higher education censorship currently in force. They’ve banned almost all content on sexual orientation and gender in teaching, and, in a startling low, grad student research. It’s unconscionable, offensive, and wrong.

Blessed to be an endurance runner with no dreams of running one of the world major marathons. By extension, my family and friends are too.

“Not all men” but enough for 62 million hits in one month on a r*pe academy website. Horrific.

The liminal space between a dissertation defense and internship (complimentary): It’s 67°F and sunny. I’m working in an R script with Philip Glass playing.

Collaborator: “any cite for this model.” Me: “I think this guy.” Other collaborator: “yeah this is the correct citation, but…it’s like citing Pythagoras for triangles.” In the running for one of the best comments I’ve read in a draft 😂💀

It has been an eternity of a season, and yet we live to see another day. Thirty-five points on restricted minutes was cinema 🐐

The cost of moving for internship will be ~40% of my annual stipend. *I* will be fine, but something here about DEIA in clinical psychology

1/2 Today, Gov. Andy Beshear signed House Bills 169 and 178 to enhance coverage for Kentuckians suffering from mental health conditions or eating disorders. The Governor also signed Senate Joint Resolution 139 and let House Bills 6 and 480 lapse, providing insight into each decision.

With the 1st pick of the WNBA Draft, the Dallas Wings select Azzi Fudd! 2026 #WNBADraft presented by State Street Investment Management SPY

Six more weekends here. In some ways, it feels like I just settled. I will miss long rides along the Ohio with pals.

SPLASHDOWN!!! Three cheers for science, engineering, research, curiosity, cooperation. Look what the fuck we can do when we ask big questions, work together, and fund our scientists. Congratulations, NASA. Congratulations, humanity!

My response to “how does it feel to have defended your dissertation?” is “great, I now spend much of my time on Zillow” 😵‍💫

Cathy is one of those people whose curiosity is inspiring, seizes the opportunities in front of her, and is an absolute delight to be around. I can’t wait to follow her next steps and learn from her work! Big congratulations 🤩

So excited for @kefancathywu.bsky.social to join the Suicide Prevention Research Lab!! 🎉

The NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...

Celebrated receiving the P.E.O. Scholar Award with a new to me LP of one of favorite albums 🖤

I'm always gonna root for Dawn Staley

After my 50 mile race in October, I was burnt out from running and happy to take a break. I’ve slowly been returning, and on my run today, I was so charmed by bluebells and all of spring going for it!

I am (1) utterly enchanted by the cosmos and (2) generally easily moved. Artemis II launch tears were had 🌑 🖤 how f*ing cool!

I have some systems that help me manage tasks, but I thought a PhD would require me to become organized™️. What it did was exacerbate my write-a-thought-in-the-available-margin-on-the-closest-piece-of-paper problem and increase my use of sticky notes.

Cleaning out a purse is like opening a time capsule

Six review requests in seven days 🥵

“i’m still punk” i whisper to myself as i turn down the music in my car so i can see better

Defending yesterday was great, but in the hoopla of it all, I forgot to Duo Lingo and broke my streak 💔

A(ll) B(ut) I(nternship) 😭🥳💝 my mind is goop, but what I do know is that I’m so grateful for the numerous people who made this moment possible

Prepping for a Cher-themed Do You Believe in Life after Defense party, and I can’t believe I was ever waffling on the decision to buy this standee

Simultaneously reading Cosmos and An Immense World as a way to experience awe. I find it quite comforting to be reminded of how small we are. There is so much to know 🥹

Requiring a lived experience statement on a manuscript is one of those things that is probably supposed to be helpful, but maybe people didn’t think through some of the possibilities of how it could be inadvertently harmful.

Who took this photo of Connor and me??

Just the push we needed to carrier train Fennel. Day 3 has me optimistic that she will be as ready as she can to move cross country in no time. Entered with all four paws and without treats! (This is a cat who has a mobile vet because the vet at an office won’t see her unless she’s sedated)

Confidence boost: Today I gave a talk on eating disorders treatment to psychiatry fellows with 30 minutes notice. Maybe this once over-preparer will be making slides in a hotel lobby one day 😂

I track my time, and this is the time I spent working on internship applications.

I’m woo woo enough to save teabag messages. This is the one I read the day that I submitted my rankings. 1/

Today’s Spelling Bee rage: concomitant is a word and should be a pangram.

Best coast bound ☀️ thank you Dolly this process and the uncertainty is over 🙏🏻

For instance: @claireecusack.bsky.social just submitted a paper today in which we show that discrete emotion states predict discrete avoidance behavior in SAD with *very* high accuracy. We know this, right? But now we can locate the phenomenon in *specific moments of time* à la JITAI concepts.
