I'm excited to announce that I will be reviewing graduate student applications for Fall 2027 admissions! I review applications in both the Personality, Development, and Health and the Clinical Science (Weinberg) programs.

Excited to be making it to #SRP2026 this year after a 2-year hiatus from my favorite conference. Already built out my talk schedule- so much exciting science to see and friends to catch up with. @srpsychopathology.bsky.social

Citing a previous ProPublica investigation, House Democrats pressed VA Secretary Doug Collins for answers in a letter last week about how the agency’s mental healthcare has been increasingly strained under the Trump administration.

Yale Alums: This is a link to Pres. McInnis's request for community feedback on the Trump DOE's Compact 2.0. Please make your voices heard! I'll thread a screenshot to my own response below.

The challenge is that the blast radius is *very* large. For instance, a colleague scored 1% on an NIH grant that was denied for reasons undisclosed. The research was not controversial; it was fundamental research into basic brain mechanisms. Another e.g., NSF cuts. www.science.org/content/arti...

Exclusive: NSF slashes research programs to support new tech initiative, insiders say

Unexpected shift in funds has meant sharp drop in grants this fiscal year

I'm curious to hear what others are thinking. We talk a lot about the need to fight for science (yes!) and trainees (yes!) and supporting one another (yes!) and the fear that labs will shut down (tragic and horrible!). But less around the question: How does this change your next-few-years-plans? /5

US scientists: Going into fall 26, how are you thinking about things? Following Fall 24 events and a tumultuous spring 25, I remember a convo with a colleague in which we agreed we just needed to wait things out until fall 25 and we'd have some clarity about the landscape (eg for funding). /1

Available now: The 3rd and final round results of the predicting replicability challenge. Much wider performance heterogeneity across the 15 teams compared with the prior rounds. www.cos.io/blog/predict...

Predicting Replicability Challenge: Round 3 Results

COS launched a public competition in 2025 to test automated methods for predicting if a research claim would be successfully replicated in a new sample of data. Read third round results here.

📢 ***Call for papers at Psychological Science (APS)*** Dr Roni Porat and I are editing a special issue, "From Lab to Life: Psychological Science in the Real World.” Please see the detailed call here (www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...) and send us your best work!

I will say that, as much as I've tried to grapple with this with respect to my own work and how I optimize/prioritize, starting a lab and having conversations about productivity vs. quality has definitely thickened the existential miasma on this topic...

One thing I struggle with is the fact that we seem to publish way too much as a field, and yet there are so many things that are left unexplored. Or things that need to be tested for generalizability and robustness. Not sure entirely sure how to balance these competing demands.

Congratulations to the project “Love Replications Week,” which received🏆2026 SIPS commendation! During the Love Replications Week, the researchers gathered to learn about best practices, to get in touch with experts, and to join an open community of researchers who want to support replications.

It was pretty recently that I was posting here in defense of Claude, specifically that it wasn't a threat to or an impact on my writing. But I've noticed recently that it *is* affecting my writing, via changes in phraseology. "Load bearing" and "by construction" are the clearest examples.
