⚡ Out now: Psychological and health sciences increasingly study how phenomena dynamically influence and reinforce one another over time: for example, to understand the mechanisms maintaining mental disorders. Can we identify reliable clusters of these dynamics? A thread 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Women with bulimia nervosa typically avoid high-fat foods, yet binge on them during periods of negative mood. Why? In our new paper in @elife.bsky.social, we used computational modeling to find out 🧵 elifesciences.org/articles/105...

This took until last week to finish, but the results are in. In a tense final (commentated by @yarrowdunham.bsky.social), @jinke.bsky.social took home the grand prize, followed by @julia-a-leonard.bsky.social in second and Stefan Lunis in third place. These three are really good at Connect 4.

@aarthipopat.bsky.social created a Yale Psych Connect Four March Madness. Things are heating up. Stay tuned for updates

Joey has been a wonderful mentor for me in the first year of my PhD!! Highly highly recommend working with him and sharing this opportunity with trainees!

Yale Psychology is hiring an Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychology! Review of applications will begin on September 2, 2026. Link: apply.interfolio.com/188806 Please share widely & apply!

Had an amazing time at the 2026 Computational Psychiatry Conference presenting my ongoing work on formalizing impulsivity as a mathematical model! ✨ Honored and excited to share that I received the Best Poster Award! 🏆 Big thank you to my co-authors and my PI, @shirleybwang.bsky.social!!

And of course, I had so many proud mentor moments 🥹 @adanyajohnson.bsky.social gave an *incredible* talk in a symposium she organized (!) and Gaeun (Gwon) Lee shared her senior thesis work in an amazing flash talk/poster spotlight.

First, @adanyajohnson.bsky.social & @cehaeffner.bsky.social organized the first-ever trainee pre-conference at CPC! So proud of them for this amazing day full of leaning and community building (and so fun to be on the Growing Up in Science panel w @robbrutledge.bsky.social @philcorlett.bsky.social)

…and a powerhouse presentation on modeling of suicidal thoughts from @adanyajohnson.bsky.social #cpc2026 @shirleybwang.bsky.social

Goals remap values and not choices: https://osf.io/74mcw

Had the best time at #APS2026 sharing my formal modeling work on suicide and impulsivity! ✨ Grateful to my mentor, @shirleybwang.bsky.social, and my lab for making these projects possible, and to all the wonderful people I had the chance to meet and learn from throughout this conference!

Many thanks to Dr. Jasmin Brooks Stephens, Simone Imani Boyd, Dr. Adam Jaroszewski, & Dr. Tom Olino for joining me today for our #APS26BCN symposium on interdisciplinary approaches to suicide research, & to everyone who came & asked such thoughtful questions! My talk: youtu.be/XfCqKOIPPU4?...

The CANDLab at Yale is hiring a new full-time research assistant! Excellent opportunity to gain post-bacc experience before applying to PhD programs in child and adolescent clinical psychology and neuroscience. 🧠 candlab.yale.edu/sites/default/files/downloads/YaleCANDLab_RA_2026.pdf

I'm so delighted to share that this fall, I’ll be pursuing my PhD in Clinical Psychology at Yale under the mentorship of @dylanggee.bsky.social! 11 y/o Mariana, who presented her research on the brain and behavior at the Calgary Science Fair, is freaking out (some research interests never change ☺️)

Super excited to share that after graduating from Smith College this May, I’ll be joining @shirleybwang.bsky.social‘s Computational Clinical Science Lab at Yale University as a lab manager! Huge thank you to everyone who supported me throughout the process, so excited for everything ahead 🥳
