Somehow, a scrub who spent a lot of his early life making objectively questionable decisions has been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. Turns out a little passion, good mentors, supportive colleagues, amazing students, and a lot of coffee can take you pretty far. Feeling grateful today.
Honored that @samuelacuff.bsky.social and I received the Distinguished Scientific Contributions to Public Interest Award from @apadivision50.bsky.social for @addpsychpodcast.bsky.social. Big thanks to our guests who helped the show rank in the top 3% of all podcasts last year (Listen Notes, 2025).
I have never felt so seen. Also, I’m not crying, you’re crying.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 7mo agoBREAKING: The Trump administration just cut off funding for hundreds—and maybe thousands—of organizations that were providing substance abuse services across the country. @citizencohn.bsky.social reports in the latest edition of The Breakdown: lnk.thebulwark.com/3LCXtfX
An amazing episode just dropped. Here and in her book, Dr. Pickard artfully integrates philosophy and science to question some of our basic assumptions and answer the question: Why do people continue to use substances despite evident and severe costs that count profoundly against their own good?

I used to skateboard in competition from age 18-24. I dropped out of high school at 17, got a GED at 19, then went to undergrad at 25 when it became clear I was never going pro in skateboarding.
Jaclyn A. Siegel, PhD@jacasiegel.bsky.social · 7mo agoIf you see this, post a random fact about yourself: I was recruited for a show on Nickelodeon in 2012 after performing at Paper Mill Playhouse. My mom didn’t let me do it because I would have needed to be in Florida for months, and she wanted me to stay in school. Show never aired — close call!

My 5 year old just learned to play Uno last night and she’s already shit talking us as she lays down a draw 4 card. Chip off the ole block.
Noticed an interesting detail at NIH. Applications in cycle III (Oct-Dec) all have review meetings scheduled for later than the standard window of Feb-March. The ones I’ve seen are so meeting in late April. Stay frosty friends because I’m sure this is due to something totally above board.
Trying to resist the urgent urge to keep sleeping past my alarm. 🎶 My mind is telling me no, but my body, my body is telling me yes!! 🎶
