The XKCD Dependency meme
Computationally formalising a verbal theory is an eye-opening experience because it forces you to openly state all the assumptions that the theory rest on
@ashleylwatts.bsky.social your rewrite is still one of if not the best edits to a written document of mine I’ve ever seen (of the K I missed the submission deadline for while on postdoc). 2nd place goes to Bunmi Olatunji’s brutal and much needed edits to my personal statement for grad school apps.
Most #EMA / #ESM studies rely on snapshots 📸
But experience is continuous!
What if real insights live *between* measurements? 📉
Dr. Leonie Cloos used #m-Path’s continuous line item to collect affective intensity profiles in everyday life:

Hey friends, my new paper was just published in JAMA Psychiatry. I draw on biological species classification to sketch a new framework for psychiatric nosology.
Brief summary follows below.

A line graph showing the fraction of R01 applications funded as a function of percentile for NIMH. The estimated success rate for FY2024 was 20.4% compared with 10.0% for FY2025.

🚨 New paper out in Current Directions in Psychological Science, with @matnoc.bsky.social! We review recent advances in digital & computational methods for understanding, predicting, and preventing suicide.
Cuts to scientific research will have effects for years to come. @standupforscience.bsky.social has been an important voice connecting scientists & all of us.
@cdelawalla.bsky.social leads that group, & her latest post is a call to action to restore funding

Why do participants stop responding in #ESM / #EMA studies? 📱🔔
Average compliance is about 7️⃣9️⃣%, but that hides massive variation.
Our new m-Path blog reviews predictors of response compliance: study design, incentives, participant traits, and time effects.

Looking forward to expanding our small team a bit as the lab prepares for its 2nd year.
We will be hiring 2-3 more volunteer, in-person RAs for our team to start in the fall. Details and application info are at our website.

We at the @personalizedtx.bsky.social already knew how lucky we are to have the best postdoc (@juliayarrington.bsky.social), but lovely to see her recognized with @uarizona.bsky.social's Outstanding Postdoctoral Research award AND the Postdoc-as-Mentor award!

My dude. Let’s grab a beer!
Great perspective piece on open-ended questions in ESM data by @bringmannlaura.bsky.social and colleagues that came out of this year's #MITNB meeting!
For instance: @claireecusack.bsky.social just submitted a paper today in which we show that discrete emotion states predict discrete avoidance behavior in SAD with *very* high accuracy. We know this, right? But now we can locate the phenomenon in *specific moments of time* à la JITAI concepts.

New preprint! We investigate the risk of algorithmic bias (across race/ethnicity, gender, and their intersection) in machine learning models predicting suicide attempts across 3 clinical settings in over 1.2 million patients.

⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.
Have you been interested in any of the set theory stuff I've been doing recently? Wondered at all how you can get in on the fun? Here's an R package @nicolasleenaerts.bsky.social and I built called 'setweaver.' This vignette should get you up and running. Yay :)

A brief thread 🧵
Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.
She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

We're doing summerpsych.com again this year!
PhD curious undergrads, come hang out at the CSI lab, help us push forward a project and develop your social science chops Applications are due March 1st:
I kept reading EMA studies claiming to test etiological theories of AUD, but I realized they never actually measured how people experience AUD in their daily lives. So we set out to see what we could learn with existing data.

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
If our theories have to do with people's daily experience then we really need to know how well we're measuring daily experience.
So we need more of what Kevin's team is doing here! Just because your item has the right words in it doesn't mean you know what it measures, or how well.
We're hiring! The Computational Clinical Science Lab @ Yale is seeking a full-time lab manager/research coordinator to start in early summer 2026.

Here is NIMH
There were 51% as many new R01s in FY25 as in FY24.
Note the large increase in RF1 multi-year awards.
