Excited to join this excellent flash talk session! I will be presenting on modeling multiple interacting dynamic processes like pain and emotion. Come join us in the Cambria room at 5:30 PM! #sas2026

If you are at SAA and interested in moving beyond modeling means and variances in your ambulatory assessment data, come see our symposium on modeling dynamics in health and psychology data today at 1 pm in MTC1 02.13! #SAA2025

Stay squeaky my friends!

Call your senators! As a Utahn you can call (202)224-5251 for John Curtis and (202)224-5444 for Mike Lee. I called and talked about my involvement in clinical trials for chronic pain, and how NIH disruptions can impact treatment options for a condition that impacts 30% of Americans.

What it’s like to do a PhD:

Variability and dynamics are my jam! Glad I took Bluesky's suggestion to follow a bunch of "Bluesky Bayesians" today

I've recently found the cat pics feed on here, and it is fantastic!

How should we quantify variability in pain, fatigue, emotional distress, and other chronic pain symptoms? Mixed effects location scale modeling (MELS) is one way that is accessible and better than the iSD! Come see my 3:15 pm poster (505) at IASP to learn more.

Dissertation is proposed! ✅

Possibly unpopular opinion, but winter trail running beats summer trail running any day in my book!

Still doesn't feel real! Excited to get started on my dissertation (proposal scheduled for 1/18/24) on modeling pain variability in patients with fibromyalgia, that looks like it will now have funding from NIAMS.
