Super interesting work, Aarthi!

Speaking of #rstats, my buddy Joey Merrin and his colleagues recently published a paper in AMPPS/had an R package "CATAcode" accepted to CRAN. Looks like a banger set of resources to navigate those finicky "choose-all-that-apply" (CATA) survey questions! Check it out!

🚨My trainee Victoria Murphy, data architect Gabriel Mongefranco, and I are pleased to share 🌟EMA-CleanR: R code to pre-process, clean, and visualize ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data! Documentation: teamdynamix.umich.edu/TDClient/210... Code: github.com/DepressionCe...

TAKE-HOME MESSAGE FOR PRACTITIONERS: JJ-involved girls with histories of sexual victimization may be perceived as more aggressive depending on who conducts the assessment; trauma-informed training could help prevent defensive, trauma-related behaviors from being misclassified as criminogenic risk.

Go Grace!!

I finally got some time to flesh out my rant about these headlines... TL;DR: age differences ≠ aging jenndowd.substack.com/p/does-adole... #demography #episky #medsky #neurosky

You there! Would you like to learn how to make very pretty graphs in #rstats? I'm delivering a short introduction to data viz in R on 15th April. Online, free (I think), and no prior knowledge or experience of R required. #AcademicSky www.apa.org/education-ca...

This book has contributed to so much online misinformation. In our study, we've documented now that there's a belief that CBT is HARMFUL or ineffective for trauma :S You know, the literal opposite of what seems to be true. Often propagated by "somatic" therapists www.jmir.org/2023/1/e45571/

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...

I've used Lavaan almost every (work)day for 15 years, but this open source labour of love has never received proper institutional support. I'm delighted to be a small part of an 1.5M OpenScienceNL award, led by Jorgensen, to completely revamp and futureproof Lavaan www.openscience.nl/en/news/45-p...

Drawing actionable conclusions from data starts with being clear about what the data are telling us! Given how prevalent the PHQ is, it’s concerning that we might be unsure of what it’s actually measuring.

New top song of the holiday season. Plus a New Haven mention!

Go Leily!! Super important work that gets at a central question in working with ordinal data 📊

Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you can guess where this is going... though it does have a bit of a twist. I was poking around Google Scholar for publications about the relationship between chatbots and wellness. Oh how useful: a systematic literature review! Let's dig into the findings. 🧵

Social media ~ mental health meta-analysis: - Cited 7 times - The 45 included studies appear not to exist - The authors’ institution appears not to exist - The journal editors won’t respond

1) Open recipe 2) Type cooked.wiki/ into the very front of the url 3) Get a simple 2-column text of the ingredients & steps One of the 1st things I learned form the early days of Bluesky!

Okay I’ve settled on an answer: Diehard is a movie that takes place during Christmas, but it isn’t a Christmas movie. However, it’s still appropriate to watch during the Christmas szn, like how horror movies are appropriate for Halloween

So excited! A donor has made The Portable Mentor totally and completely FREE for anyone!!!!!! No royalties, no sign up, just download any/all of the 30 chapters of professional development advice!!! HOORAY!!!!! Equal access for everyone!!!! Check out the ToC! www.cambridge.org/core/books/p...

Whenever I hear someone's competency for court seemed ok except for some struggles around plea deals, I'm like... But over 95% of criminal cases end in plea deals! You must assume this person is gonna be faced w/ a deal, & they NEED to show they can understand one!

For example, on the outside, it costs almost nothing to create/share videos. Behind bars, it can cost up to $1.50 – which is A LOT when you consider prison wages can be as low as $0.04/hour It's clear this is a gross continuation of exploitation of a vulnerable population

Found the cutest science + art shop this evening thru bsky. Got a couple of gifts for nieces and nephews (and earrings for myself 😁). Excited to find this! @christineliu.art www.twophotonart.com

🚨 New article alert!🚨 Understanding the lived experiences of youth incarcerated in adult facilities through their letters: A content analysis, is out now in Punishment & Society! journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

Sorry to my office mate who heard my very emphatic response to this and briefly thought I was angry about something. Last year, I stood up on a table; guess my excited reactions are exclusively set to 12/10 #apls2025

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce: We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky! We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct. Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions. Let's get into it!

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

Grad apps is an excellent test in self-control as I intentionally forbid myself from checking my email for the 4 days between Thanksgiving and Monday

Updated intro! I’m a post-bacc working in a forensic/correctional neuroscience and neuropsych lab. Currently applying to PhD programs and I’m passionate about trauma, juvenile justice, dimensionality, and therapeutic jurisprudence. #PsychLaw

Had such a lovely time presenting, postering, and meeting new people at #APLS2024 :) A wonderful 1st in-person conference experience ❤️🧠

I saw this and got so excited that I climbed on top of a table. Super super excited for #apls2024

Pretty sure that I’m so excited I could scream. Looking forward to APLS 2024 :) #psychlaw

🚨 Science Resources for BlueSky 🚨 Scientist? Just joined BlueSky? Here’s four resources you might find useful. #AcademicSky 🧪 🧵 (1) A list of over 130 subject-specific feeds. Find posts by others in your area and use the right tags in your posts to get them seen.

decided to make a bluesky in case people start moving in that direction, what with twitter becoming the Bad Place. feel free to follow :) Looking for more academic/psych ppl, particularly in the realm of neuropsych and/or forensic psych http://aleija.bsky.social

just made my acct because I heard academic twitter was starting to transfer over here :)

Does anybody know if psych Twitter plans to migrate to psych Threads?

I finally have my first publication! This paper is the larger work that my honors thesis went into and I am so grateful and excited to be a part of it! Enormous thank you to @Henrypaulson5 and especially @JuliaEGerson, who was and is an unbelievable mentor and person❤🧠

What are some ideas or initiatives that have worked for you in reaching out to communities of color for research studies? This is really important to me and I'm happily taking suggestions. Any general advice is also welcome! #AcademicChatter #Diversity #Neuropsychology

Was super shocked and honored to receive the award for best undergraduate poster for my presentation on tau and ubiquilin-2 at the @umichalzheimers annual symposium today! Thank you so much, I saw some really cool projects today! 🧠

First week is almost done and little by little, I'll make my space cozy. So far, my little brother Alex gets almost 75% of the space just for his art and an old note he wrote me! Next week I'm hoping to have a fun name card made by my kindergarten teacher partner, stay tuned 👀❤

I'm starting my new job as a research assistant in a neuropsych lab on Monday and I am very excited but SO nervous about the neuropsych testing and tDCS learning curve. I feel like I'm at the bottom of a mountain and idk how in the world I'll get to the top 😭 #neuropsychology

Imagine a Zoom thesis defense where you present all that you have, a brief silence follows, and then someone says "big if true" and the call ends

We should normalize email greetings that say stuff like "I hope you had a lovely weekend!"

Just found out today that my undergrad thesis was awarded a High Honors designation!!

Really excited to announce that starting this summer, I'll begin working as a research assistant at the RP-CNBI here at UM. Very much ooking forward to getting involved in neuropsych research and making new connections!!

I was speaking with my thesis advisor about this yesterday, but one of the things I am most excited about regarding my early academic and professional career is networking. Especially after the covid pause for so long, I can't wait to listen to people and their stories

Below is a list of resources that I have found helpful as I've begun planning for grad school in clinical psychology with a neuropsychology focus. My hope is to share these resources with others interested in neuropsychology and constantly update this thread with new information!
