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.

I’m recruiting two new PhD students to start in 2027, working with me on my program of research in quantitative psychopathology. I’ve put some information for interested students on my website: miriamkforbes.academic.ws Please share with anyone you know who might be interested!

Congrats to Dr. Shirley Wang, recipient of the David Shakow Early Career Award for Contributions to Clinical Psychology! As Assistant Professor at Yale University, she researches computational and longitudinal methods to understand complex psychopathology. ccslab.yale.edu

Yale Psychology is hiring an Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychology! Review of applications will begin on September 2, 2026. Link: apply.interfolio.com/188806 Please share widely & apply!

Yale is hiring in developmental psychology (open rank )! We're especially interested in complementing and broadening our area, including via somewhat less traditionally central such as cross-cultural and comparative approaches. Feel free to reach out with questions!

It’s a wrap #CPC2026! Thanks to the organizers, presenters, and attendees for an unforgettable experience - hope to see you all in Paris!

What a week! #CPC2026 was amazing, and it was such a joy to co-organize & host it here at Yale with @robbrutledge.bsky.social @xiaosigu.bsky.social @yiplab.bsky.social @francesghart.bsky.social & Al Powers & Katie Myerscough (our MVP!) Some highlights... 🧵

Had an amazing time at the 2026 Computational Psychiatry Conference presenting my ongoing work on formalizing impulsivity as a mathematical model! ✨ Honored and excited to share that I received the Best Poster Award! 🏆 Big thank you to my co-authors and my PI, @shirleybwang.bsky.social!!

In a special issue of Clinical Psychological Science, @jnfrltackett.bsky.social, @ajshackman.bsky.social, and @shirleybwang.bsky.social present seven articles and four commentaries that showcase the power and ongoing challenges of multidisciplinary collaborations in psychological science.

1/n. This was a really satisfying project to work on w/ @jnfrltackett.bsky.social (Big Boss) & @shirleybwang.bsky.social ... at times, it felt like a bit of an homage to my experiences as a doc student at Wisconsin

In closing, I urge the field to commit to creating a scientific infrastructure built for hard collaborations, cross-field innovation, and science that rewards getting outside of your silo!

So I launched a special issue, with wonderful co-editors @ajshackman.bsky.social and @shirleybwang.bsky.social - we sorted through dozens of submissions to select those that exemplified a truly interdisciplinary approach

For one of my final editorial projects before rotating off Clinical Psychological Science, I wanted to come full circle and end with the same focus I started with - celebrating the importance of multidisciplinary psychological research journals.sagepub.com/eprint/XEP2G...

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...
