Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat. If you need to mix in a primal scream from time to time, that’s okay too. Seems fitting.
Let's come back to that after the holidays.

it's letter writing season in my field. Just my opinion here, but write your recommendation letters the way you'd want to read them. I get so bored with such standard, dry letters from recommenders. It's hard work, but tell us the story behind why we should be enthusiastic about your person!

no child should have to face scary thoughts of suicide on their own. yes, it’s sad that young kids have them. But it’s our job to figure out how to help. I’ve got a few studies going to do just that. First look at this work here: news.unchealthcare.org/2025/10/unc-...

I grew up in the western foothills/southern piedmont of NC. As soon as I saw the news of Helene, I knew the devastation in these small towns just to our north was inevitable. This is the one of the best pieces of journalism I have read in recent memory. incredible, heartbreaking stories. read this.
As Hurricane Helene barreled toward Yancey County in North Carolina, the predictions were grim.

But there were no evacuation orders, even for the people living in homes along vulnerable rivers and creeks.

Few grasped what was coming. @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social w/ @cgaribay.bsky.social

EMA research friends, I recall seeing some #discourse on here about slidey bars for response options resulting in more variability for frequency items in daily surveys. Did I dream this in my head? Can someone send link if I didn’t imagine this?

it's particularly cruel to be cancelling training series grants from NIH. Those training years were some of my most uncertain, and the training grants (F, K series) provided stable funding at the time. We will be losing tremendous scholars because of this.

Conversion therapy is ineffective, dangerous, and linked with suicide attempts. Don’t ever let them tell you otherwise.
