I write a free weekly newsletter on AI for behavioral scientists: new tools, journal and funder policy updates, studies of AI in research, and the occasional cautionary tale. It started as part of a summer AI series at Vanderbilt. New issues every Friday: aiforbehavioralscience.com
Hi friends! I'm ecstatic to share that I have just recently started at @VanderbiltU as an Assistant Professor of Psychology🥳
Special shout-outs to @WilsonSylia for being the finest postdoctoral mentor I could've asked for, and @ashleylwatts for encouraging me to apply.
Congratulations! And your quote-tweet is so true and so important.

Retweeting this for the signal boost (and to save so I can make sure this is read by my future students).

Out today in @TheLancetPsych: A systematic review of studies examining maltreatment timing effects written in collaboration with @cecily_cardew @ErinDunnScD! bit.ly/3Vd2cUZ
The surprising finding? No consistent "sensitive periods" of heightened vulnerability emerged. Fortunately, the results *did* help us craft a set of recommendations we think might improve the quality and replicability of future studies aimed at tackling this question.
According to recent research, >80% of clinical & counseling psych faculty/trainees endorse lifetime history of a "mental health difficulty" and ~50% report receiving a psychiatric diagnosis. tinyurl.com/3xd62hc2
It's almost like psychologists are people, too 🤔

A RANT. Publishing is the coin of the realm in academia, but peer review is a sodden mess. Would a business delegate its most valued functions to unpaid volunteers? Journals depend on free labor from reviewers. This system sucked before the pandemic & is unsustainable now. 🧵
Really glad to see this change!
Especially since data from longitudinal studies suggest upwards of 70-80% of the population will meet criteria for a psychiatric disorder at some point. These conditions really aren't that "abnormal".
Kudos @DrMacDonald3rd!
Great Q&A with @trikomes on the Mind & Matter podcast discussing the utility of twin research and evidence suggesting that adolescent #marijuana use probably isn't a causal contributor to psychotic illness.

Sometimes we may wish to check all relevant assumptions for a regression model in one go. 🔍
The {check_model} function from {performance} 📦 does exactly this and also provides elegant visualizations with helpful pointers ✅📊

Perceived experience of childhood adversity appears to have greater association with development of psychopathology, independent of objective experience.
