Exactly. Pizza is every DBT skill. I will mindfully eat pizza. Pizza is positives. Pizza is eating and taking care of vulnerabilities. Pizza is soothing and sensory. Pizza is, simply, life.

2012 GAO report: "For example, women’s household income, on average, fell by 41 percent with divorce, almost twice the size of the decline that men experienced. For widowhood, women’s household income fell by 37 percent—while men’s declined by only 22 percent." www.gao.gov/products/gao...

Thousands of Americans are getting sick from a foodborne parasite, and federal regulators have still not publicly identified the source. So what's been happening in the federal government over the past year that might be a factor in this outbreak? 🧵⬇️

I just created www.lgbtqlegislation.com which builds on the work of the LegiAlerts team to provide an interactive data dashboard to look at 20+ years of anti-LGBTQ legislation and especially anti-trans legislation. It also includes an overview of pro-LGBTQ legislation. Check it out!

Two decades of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, documented bill by bill — 10,000+ bills tracked across every state and Congress by the LegiAlerts team.

Another banger quote from a NYT Op Ed: "the key to fighting authoritarianism isn't a single political strategy or protest march. It's the willingness of individuals to engage in...collective stubbornness: people working together to increase the cost of authoritarian behavior"

Wonderful news! Journal of Research on Research is launched. "if you are a researcher who researches any aspect of research, then this is the journal and community for you." Worth reading the whole editorial for a transparent and thoughtful account of this amazing community-driven effort.

We're excited to launch J·ROR, the Journal of Research on Research. A new open-access home for research on how research is funded, organised, conducted, communicated, and evaluated. Our first editorial: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #ResearchOnResearch #MetaScience #OpenScience #STS

I dug into NSDUH data on depression in U.S. teens (12-17) and made the below figure. Rates increased far more sharply for girls than boys, peaking around COVID before modest declines. Shaded region = % with depression receiving mental health treatment. Both depression and unmet need remain high.

We are recruiting new students for our NSF-funded Bridge Program at University of Delaware this year. The positions are fully funded for 2 years and the summer bridging those years. To receive funding applicants must be residents of an NSF EPSCOR jurisdiction. Questions? email me tvickery@udel.edu

We looked at six internalizing disorders with varied heterogeneity. One key finding here: The disorders with more theoretically possible symptom profiles consistently had more observed profiles too - the larger conceptual space for heterogeneity allowed for more variability in practice.

I went to go look, and this time last year, NSF SBE had funded 216 awards. This year, they have funded 2.

New paper showing insufficient evidence for neuroimaging features to define reproducible, biologically valid, & clinically meaningful schizophrenia subtypes. The subtypes identified to date likely reflect continuous variation within the disorder rather than discrete, biologically distinct entities.

Biological Psychiatry@biologicalpsych.bsky.social · 3mo ago

A review of 18 studies found no consistently reproducible subtypes of schizophrenia, suggesting that differences in brain structure across patients may reflect a spectrum rather than discrete biological categories.

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...

As our access to mife ping-pongs between courts, real people are suffering the consequences. And while extremists continue to purposefully incite chaos and fear, REMEMBER: abortion pills are extremely well-studied, and the scientific consensus on their safety and efficacy could not be clearer.

A study of more than 5,000 pages of agency documents on mifepristone over 12 years found that agency leaders almost always followed the evidence-based recommendations of scientists.

2) Being apolitical IS political. Staying out of politics doesn’t keep you “above the fray” but instead endorses the status quo. (Which right now, is bad for both science and democracy.)

1) Being apolitical is a myth. (Hyde seems to agree.) We all approach the world with our beliefs & biases. Pretending scientists are superhuman is silly & even dangerous. Thankfully, the scientific process is set up to mitigate such biases through transparency & open debate.

I’ve been warned that by engaging in politics, I might undermine myself as a scientist. Or worse, reduce the trust that people have in me or scientists as a whole. This latter point is the thesis of a recent article by Byron Hyde: link.springer.com/article/10.1... I disagree for multiple reasons.
