My MA thesis has finally been published! Check out my project exploring perceived need for care, interest in care, and barriers to care among those reporting psychotic-like experiences using a newly-developed measure, the MHCU-Q. link.growkudos.com/1ej5baj9f5s @APApsychiatric

This is quite disappointing. NSF GRFPs were already challenging to obtain for clinical psychology students whose work was more "applied" in nature. They still applied, and many got the award. Funding and support for the new generation of scientists is simply disappearing...

Supreme Court has decided to hear a case challenging local and state laws banning so-called “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ youth. Our new study in @JAMANetworkOpen is first to show these discredited practices increase risk for later heart disease. Free: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

🚨New study led by @JessicaFattal‼️ In the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort, motor abnormalities that are sustained over development may be particularly influential for psychotic-like experiences @SchizBulletin academic.oup.com/schizophreniab…

Successful first #ABCT2023 conference and a fun reminder that my friends are so smart and cool

Everyone you teach is a person first, student second. Your class and your assignments are not the most important thing in their lives and shouldn't be. Immediately labeling students as "lazy" or "unmotivated" is a distinct failure to understand the flaws in the academic system.

Feeling immensely grateful for my psychiatrist colleges who have taken the time to actually understand what my training and skill set is as a psychologist (hint: it’s not what’s represented here)

@thePREVENTLab makes an appearance at #WPA2023 👀

Could not have asked for better lead authors/research big sisters for my first grad school paper @Emily_Petti @m_bridgwater

92 % of graduate workers and 61 % of postdocs report being rent-burdened. That is, they are paying more than 30 % of their monthly income on rent. The average graduate worker is spending more than half their gross income on housing costs. #fairucnow labornotes.org/2022/11/years-…

“The [UC] relies on these workers for most of its teaching and research, yet it severely underpays them. Graduate students make on average $24,000 a year while working in areas of the country […] with exorbitant housing costs.”— @left_voice #fairucnow leftvoice.org/historic-strik…

BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job. It's the largest strike in the US since 2019. Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet. washingtonpost.com/business/2022/…

I stand in strong solidarity with the 48,000 academic workers at the University of California who are on strike for higher wages, better child care benefits, and expanded paid leave.

48,000 Academic Workers are on strike. Support our fight for a truly public higher education system by contributing whatever you can: givebutter.com/uc-uaw

Important work from our collaborators shows that Black youth with early psychosis spectrum disorders may be particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of internalized stigma in predicting suicidal thoughts and behaviors. @LAkouriShan @JasonSchiffman2 psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-08…
