1/ I often like Mad in America but I fear this paper is being misrepresented. There have been previous studies on this issue that find that patients prefer therapist skill teaching over other things (e.g., patient leading). In these data, skill acquisition is preferred by a majority (see below).

Working alongside wonderful, brilliant doctoral students is truly uplifting and inspiring. Here is Elyse, presenting on our work on increasing the behavioral health workforce.

So thankful for you, Elyse!

Stay tuned for a preprint of the manuscript coming soon!

This is about the fifth major university who announced reductions in PhD admissions this week in response to federal research cuts.

Absolutely awful for students who are trying to get into grad school right now.

I am absolutely thrilled to share that Marsha, my first PhD advicee, has matched at her top-choice internship site the CMHC Adult Community Mental Health Outpatient and Inpatient program at Yale University School of Medicine. So so proud!

Dear academics

We could dramatically reduce our administrative workload if we all just agreed not to ask for reference letters until we made our list of finalists.

This is massive collective action problem has already been solved by…

*checks notes*

…every other industry on earth.
Who is for abolishing grad app letters of rec at the point of application? Would it be so bad if letters were requested AFTER candidates were shortlisted? If we do this at UCSD who will join us?

I don't understand how you can read and understand an evolving literature without keeping up with methodological developments.

What are we supposed to do, just read discussion sections and take people's word for it?

Overparenting is on the rise and hurts children’s motivation starting in early childhood. How can we help parents step back? Our new paper in Child Dev shows that pointing out learning opportunities reduces overparenting.

"Unfortunately, clinical psychology and psychiatry have devoted most of their resources to studying the diagnostic labels that summarize the complex mental health states of people, rather than how biopsychosocial processes give rise to mental health problems."

1/ What *are* mental disorders?

I view them as systems of biological, psychological, and social variables. Mental health problems emerge from this system, which is why system and network science are so important for better understanding and treating them.

Pew’s latest report on public trust in scientists is a must-read: Public Trust in Scientists and Views on Their Role in Policymaking. Trust is strong, but transparency and inclusivity are key to keeping it. 🧪🧵

Public Trust in Scientists and Views on Their Role in Policymaking
Americans’ trust in scientists is slightly higher than it was last year, but remains lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dartmoor's wooded rivers take on an otherworldly quality at this time of year.

Inky mirrors to a newly revealed sky. Granite banks adorned with fallen leaves, others suspended in the current like copper coins.

My kids are my superpower and my kryptonite. I am more efficient and aware of the world and my work is more value-driven because of them. I am also more forgetful and unavailable and my work is slower because of them. Also I will always pick them first.
HEY PARENTS IN ACADEMIA!!!

What do you wish people knew about your experience and how parenting impacts you/your career/your science/etc???
