My last dissertation chapter has been published! We found that tree diversity reduced gloomy scale density on urban red maples, but this effect was not attributable to enhanced biocontrol.

I am both excited and impressed that my partner has landed a faculty position at UK in the department of psychiatry!

I just learned of the two graduate students injured in a shooting during the @EntsocAmerica
Southeastern Branch meeting. Grad insurance is pretty awful and these are going to be big bills for these young people. Please help if you can.

Very impressed with the important work my partner is doing looking at treatment outcomes for BPD in male and female veterans!

[Alison Schreiber, PhD (she/her) @alisonmarie526]

🚨New pub alert🚨
We looked at sex differences in tx outcomes of Veterans in a DBT program! TL; DR? Despite DBT having been mostly validated in female samples, Veteran men reported noninferior and indeed sharper reductions in BPD sx!
