Professor of Psychology @Yale studying brain development, stress, and mental health in childhood and adolescence 🧠 http://candlab.yale.edu/
Excited to share the lab's latest on leveraging what we're learning from developmental neuroscience about the role of parents in children's anxiety to optimize treatments for youth! Led by Elizabeth Kitt and now out in @natmentalhealth.nature.com 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s44...
🧠‼️ Socioeconomic variables show the strongest associations with the brain out of 649 measures—surpassing cognition and mental health. Grateful for the chance to write a perspective with @ted-satterthwaite.bsky.social about @smarek0502.bsky.social and team's important findings! tinyurl.com/bdhk6bc8
Childhood environments shape the brain
Socioeconomic factors top the list of influences on children’s brain structure and function

Scott Marek@smarek0502.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhat matters most for childhood brain organization? We analyzed 649 variables. The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers. Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES. In Science today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
📢 New Publication Alert at JoPaCS! Many studies use variability as a proxy for flexibility across domains. Using emotion regulation as an example, we show that variability decoupled from context can be harmful volatility. Variability ≠ Flexibility. 🧵 doi.org/10.1037/abn0...

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 ☺️)
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

Had the pleasure of organizing a symposium on how the timing of adversity exposure modulates neurodevelopmental outcomes. Such a great line up of speakers 🤩 #ISDP2025 @kieran-od.bsky.social, Lucinda Sisk, Annie Aitken, & @madrelabutd.bsky.social
Thrilled to share a new paper in @jamapsychiatry.com on path asymmetry in complex dynamic systems of psychopathology! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... With amazing collaborators @tfblanken.bsky.social, Han van der Maas, & Denny Borsboom 🥳
Path Asymmetry in Complex Dynamic Systems of Psychopathology
This article illustrates the assumption of path symmetry in current theories of psychopathology and calls for the development of dynamical systems of mental illness that incorporate asymmetry.

This week’s cover of New York Magazine is absolutely brutal.
We named our Jane after many admirable Jane's, but Jane Goodall is at the top of the list. Scholar, activist, icon. What a life. Rest in power, Jane, and thank you.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 10mo agoBreaking News: Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most revered conservationists, died at 91. Her discoveries in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behaved in the wild broke new ground and represented what was called “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.” nyti.ms/42kpGxt

Nory Sontay Ramos was a thriving high school student in L.A. until she and her mom were deported by the Trump administration in July. For @msnbc.com, we visited her in Guatemala as she tries to graduate remotely while hiding from the same gang they fled years ago. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/n...
The disappearance of Nory Sontay Ramos
Nory and her mother were following the rules. But as MSNBC reports from L.A. and Guatemala, U.S. officials deported them anyway — throwing their futures into jeopardy.
