3) Finally, on Saturday evening, our symposium on the intersection of AI and clinical science will bring together contributions on the hopes, promises, and risks of integrating AI in clinical research and practice. Contributions from Meike Waaijers, Dr. Elizabeth Stade, and Leily Behbehani.

The CCS Lab is at #APS2026 in Barcelona! 🌟 Catch us across Friday & Saturday with talks on formal theories, natural language processing, and EMA in suicide and eating disorders! @sharinahamm.bsky.social @leilyb.bsky.social @adanyajohnson.bsky.social @shirleybwang.bsky.social

When patients ask, “What disorder do I really ‘have’?” the honest answer is usually more interesting and messier than a single diagnostic label. I wrote for the @nytimes.com on what I wish people understood about diagnoses and the nature of mental health problems. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

New paper out today in JCCAP! We outline future directions for mathematical, computational, & digital methods in suicide research @leilyb.bsky.social @sharinahamm.bsky.social @francesghart.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Future Directions for Mathematical, Computational, & Digital Methods in Suicide Research

Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide, and is one of the most devastating, complex, and perplexing of all human behaviors. Unfortunately, despite centuries of scientific and scholarly inqui...

New preprint alert! (1/5)🌟 I’m thrilled to share the preprint of my first first-authored PhD paper! We test whether shared reinforcement functions help explain why adolescents who engage in one self-destructive behavior often engage in others. Summary⬇ osf.io/preprints/ps...

New paper alert! Check out our new manuscript in @SchizRes Cognition, led by Sunghye Cho. Here we used automated speech and language analysis to compare verbal fluency responses from people with psychosis, depression, and healthy controls. 1/5 lnkd.in/eg8Y-gGJ

New preprint alert🚨 We often rely on 0-10 scales to assess suicide urges in EMA and clinical settings. But we rarely ask a surprisingly important question: What do these numbers mean? In our new paper, we examine what these ratings mean and how consistently people use them. More info ⬇️

Examining the Content and Consistency of Suicidal Thoughts using Large Language Models: https://osf.io/8jx4u

What a week! After 5 days, the #mitnb workshop has come to an end. We had a keynote on time scales and two workshops on careless responding and reliability. The central part of the workshops were the hackathons. We had super diverse hackathons, all designed to assess measurement in #ESM. (1/4)

Excited to share our new paper entitled Multisystem Environmental Factors Elucidate Shared and Distinct Associations With Brain and Behavior in Adolescents. Link: www.jaacap.org/article/S089.... @kavliatyale.bsky.social

Excited to share our new preprint! We conducted a spatial meta-analysis of community violence and mental health, synthesizing 155 articles (k = 769) to test how exposure to community violence is associated with mental health problems, and how state social service investments moderate the link. 💵

1st day of #MITNB meeting at @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social. Excited for the week ahead, where we'll tackle measurement issues in #ESM, e.g. modeling processes across timescales, building a formal theory on measurement, and evaluating statistical assumptions in #ESM data. Go teamwork <3

Last weekend my lab attended our first conference together @harvardwipsych.bsky.social! It was an *incredible* way to wrap up our first year 😍 @sharinahamm.bsky.social @francesghart.bsky.social

Almost exactly one year after starting my lab (!), I'm thrilled to share our first preprint! 🥳 @leilyb.bsky.social @sharinahamm.bsky.social @francesghart.bsky.social We propose future directions for mathematical, computational, & digital methods to advance suicide research: osf.io/preprints/ps...

(6/6) Big thank you to co-authors @sharinahamm.bsky.social , @leilyb.bsky.social , @kathrynfox.bsky.social , @shirleybwang.bsky.social- and bluesky-less Kathryn Coniglio, Erin Reilly, and Leah Somerville- for their support in this project!
