So excited to return to SRP, for my first time as a non-trainee 🥺 Come keep me company during my talk on symptom-specific speed of improvement during psychotherapy (work with @fabiennemink.bsky.social @christianwebb.bsky.social and Lutz) @srpsychopathology.bsky.social #SRP2026

I am thrilled to share that our paper examining environmental variables in RDoC studies of youth depression is out! We evaluate prior literature and propose recommendations to study interacting biological and environmental mechanisms underlying youth depression. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) and Youth Depression – In Context

The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) system is a valuable framework for researchers seeking to understand the mechanisms underlying psychopathology. Although RDoC provides guidance for studying biol...

We have reached a situation where (1) the time/resources spent by people applying for grant X often outweighs (2) the time/resources awarded. For these grants, society loses net time/resources. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A new take on the limitations of "psychometric networks" now out in Nature Human Behavior. You don't want to put too much confidence in individual edges. Something we cautioned against in 2017. 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Statistical evidence in psychological networks - Nature Human Behaviour

Psychometric network models have become increasingly popular in psychology and the social sciences. Huth et al. show that a large proportion of reported network findings are based on weak or inconclusive evidence inviting caution when interpreting results.

We’re so proud of the MED Lab team for their excellent posters and presentations at VKC Science Day this week. Congratulations to Yinru @yinrulong.bsky.social , who won best research on underrepresented populations, and Ellie @elliewindham.bsky.social , who won best clinical poster!

We are currently accepting applications for a lab manager position to oversee the administration of multiple grant-funded research projects! More info below: ecsr.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

I can't recommend this opportunity highly enough - the combination of fascinating, impactful work and excellent mentorship make this a top-notch training experience!

Post-bacc RA job posting is now live! Great fit for applicants interested in graduate degrees clinical psychology and/or precision medicine. Please repost + share with potentially interested candidates. So excited to find a new team member to work closely with wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recrui...

So devastating

Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD@arghavansallesmd.medsky.social · 2y ago

I know not everyone can keep up with all the grant terminations, but it’s important to know what we’re losing so I’ll try to compile them here. First is a study on intimate partner violence with perinatal women (note: the #1 cause of death during pregnancy is homicide) bsky.app/profile/rebe...

ESM Experts, please help! We have EMA surveys asking pts about best/worst event over 2 hrs. Many say no worst event happened, but we allowed them to provide emotion ratings. Should those ratings be excluded from MLM/DSEM models of emotional reactivity? Treated as a neutral condition? Another option?

Wow. I’ve expressed concerns about Frontiers for a long time and won’t submit or review for them, but this suggests things are really bad.

Big news from Finnish publication forum. Almost all MDPI and Frontiers journals will be downgraded to level 0 and thus are not considered as properly peer reviewed trustworthy scientific journals. julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/news/chan...

I’ve been thinking a lot about how research pace is eclipsed by rate of change in technologies. Many books/articles make claims that aren’t supported by evidence, but research often can’t match need for decision making in the population. How do we adapt to make quality info available sooner?
