We examined the IBQ-R's factor structure + measurement invariance. Findings suggest the standard model may need adjustment for use across populations.

Congratulations, Nico, on such an innovative paper!! With everything going on in the world, it's important to remember that pregnancy/postpartum is a challenging stage of life. Suicide risk can be high and reseach on these experiences is absolutely critical.
Our article on perinatal self-injurious thoughts & behaviors is out today! We found that the odds of engaging in self-injurious behavior were 256% higher at 7 months postpartum relative to 3rd trimester of pregnancy, even after accounting for three risk factors. doi.org/10.1111/sltb...

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health.
But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."

Donald Trump’s proposed budget would gut American science
It would slash cancer research, drug trials, space exploration, and so much more.

The best way to boost births (that no one is talking about)
Immigrants are younger and have higher birth rates, but MAGA pronatalists want to scapegoat rather than celebrate them.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.
