Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

Applying to clinical psych PhDs as a student from a historically underrepresented background?

The Diversifying Psychology Workshop (Aug 16) is here to help—personal statements, research portfolios, panels, etc.!
Hosted by the JEDI Committee at the SDSU/UDSD JDP!

Check out the new issue of Cannabis out today. Thanks to the journal's managing editor, @irelandshute.bsky.social, for getting this out.

"We are on the precipice of being able to end HIV in our country," ISGMH's @mustanski.bsky.social tells @axios.com.

"We have the tools to solve it, ... but if we back off that, if we take our foot off the pedal, we will have more #HIV cases in the United States." www.axios.com/local/chicag...

120 scientist working together to study how to effectively implement programs to end the HIV epidemic! That’s epic!

These studies will probably get cut too when findings support that:

1) a very small minority of people detransition
2) of those that do detransition, the majority do it for their safety or financial reasons
3) many "detransitioners" REtransition at some point

trans people aren't going anywhere🤷

I’ll just let any psychologists considering this path know: Our generation will not be as kind to you as our elders were to the likes of Barlow and Hayes.

Loved working with @hannahcarlon.bsky.social who used critical discourse analysis to assess how US opinion news media portrays harm reduction. Spoilers: Over 80% of opinion media in 2023-2024 was positive, yet stigmatizing language abounds. 50 days free access: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kvxI3PEro...

We made a mock #cannabis dispensary for @iasatusc.bsky.social to use for research. Check out a detailed description of how we did it, including interviews w/ dispensary staff and our plan for stocking with product packaging. @uscpsychiatry.bsky.social

I love science and the people in it and I will never stop fighting for it.

yay #CPA2025 was a blast! Providence was beautiful and more importantly, it was so fulfilling to be with other passionate researchers who care so much about keeping good (and trans inclusive!) science alive. Grateful to share this field with such amazing people!

A phenomenal #CPA2025 @apadivision50.bsky.social! Devastating to hear the tremendous damage inflicted by senseless HHS/NIH/FDA cuts to so many in our community, and also so nourishing to be together and support each other during these times. As promised, a new starter pack: go.bsky.app/SnnMai2

In the past month, the NIH terminated many ISGMH grants focused on HIV prevention, LGBTQ health, and training early career scholars. The effect on our institute has been devastating.

Director @mustanski.bsky.social spoke to @nbcnews.com about the impact. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

during a time when research by and for trans individuals is under attack, I'm feeling very grateful to be presenting some findings on substance use among trans and gender diverse youth at #CPA2025 @apadivision50.bsky.social. Come see my poster (# 35) and say hi at today's session! :)
