Just learned I've won the APA Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contributions to Psychology in the area of psychopathology, and am feeling pretty delighted!! So grateful to @aidangcw.bsky.social for nominating me, and very proud of the work it's based on.

I finally received this editorial decision! Many excellent comments from reviewers that will help improve this study and a very firm reminder that, we as a field, still don't know how to peer-review the results from pre-registered reports 🤷🏽‍♂️

I hope this gets published soon 🤓

The full ruling explaining why NIH grant cuts are illegal came out today.

It's just as blistering as the judge's oral remarks. And it uncovers fresh details in DOGE's role orchestrating the cuts — and on the cuts at Columbia.

Here are my top highlights from the 103-page ruling. 🧵
After ruling the NIH grant cuts were illegal yesterday, Judge Young, a Reagan appointee on the bench since 1985, ended the hearing with a blistering 15-minute speech.

I've cleaned up my notes — here are his remarks in full. 🧵
Judge rules against NIH grant cuts — and calls them discriminatory
The decision means that the US biomedical agency has to restore funding to hundreds of research projects, but the government will likely appeal.

Young also has found "pervasive racial discrimination in selecting grants" to cut that will require a permanent restraining order to prevent the government from continuing this.

He also finds an "unmistakable pattern of discrimination against women’s health".
Judge Young is beyond livid — and fuming. He has another hearing that was supposed to begin minutes ago, and he's still going.

"I've never seen a record where racial discrimination is so palpable. I've been on the bench for 40 years. I've never seen government racial discrimination like this."
