It’s social media official! @VeraJVine and I are co-organizing the 1st ever SAS preconference on clinical affective science.

✅The intersection of basic research on emotion with clinical science.
👍Sound like your thing? Join us in Portland!

[Society for Affective Science @affectScience]

The inaugural SAS preconference on Clinical Affective Science will explore the vibrant, emerging area of research at the intersection of affective & clinical science. We'll bring together scholars at all career stages to articulate the goals & boundaries of this growing subfield!

@psychTJH @srp_science @UR_IDEA_Lab @AmyCarolus @GwynethDeLap @KaChangPsy @AngelaSantee Glad to hear it! That workshop (and the paper underlying it) was in part inspired by our own experiences with tough reviews, and with having to sometimes be the tough reviewers! Hoping to develop more unified standards for everyone’s benefit.

[Dr. Lisa Starr @LisaStarrPhD]

Headed to @srp_science in Montreal? So is the entire @UR_IDEA_Lab! Come check out our latest research!!!

@lluaces @sadcat_labIU @IUImpact Congrats!! Sounds super interesting— I look forward to hearing about what you find. And thanks for normalizing what a long slog grant funding can be!

[Dr. Lisa Starr @LisaStarrPhD]

Nails it. 👇👇👇👇

[Dr. Sheila E. Crowell @crowell_sheila]

Wondering if you’re ready to start a clinical psych PhD? It’s competitive, which can often lead to unhelpful, advice (e.g., “work in a lab for two years”). Here’s my perspective on what makes a person ready for a funded PhD at a research univ, independent of age or stage. 🧵

[Dr. Jeremy G. Stewart (he/him) @QuERBYLAB]

I enjoyed working on this manuscript with @LaurenSHallion and the larger COVID-19 working group.

More on the way from this project!

Check out the manuscript. A key strength is repeated observations (pre and multiple times post COVID-related restrictions). Please share widely.

[Dr. Lisa Starr @LisaStarrPhD]

This new paper comes from a collab that @LaurenSHallion initiated right here on Twitter in those chaotic days when everything was just shutting down. It’s a unique dataset and it’s been a great experience. More to come!

[Dr. Lisa Starr @LisaStarrPhD]

@CheriLev This sums it up.

[Dr. Lisa Starr @LisaStarrPhD]

@dp_moriarity @Penn Congrats!! Amazing!!!

@DrSarahSperry @InezGermeys @LivveyKirtley I will have to make it to this conference someday….

[Dr. Lisa Starr @LisaStarrPhD]

@Philadeliberty @jmhorp Is there evidence that the increase in girls explained by increases in those states? You know that adolescent girls are at statistically the lowest risk of suicide of any age group (other than younger children) and that this is because they are less likely to use firearms?

[Dr. Lisa Starr @LisaStarrPhD]

@DerekDohrman @jmhorp I’m not a gun person at all. But if you are, there are all sorts of suicide prevention measures (safe storage etc) that save lives w/o infringing on 2nd amendment concerns. Pretending the problem doesn’t exist just leads to more suicides— esp among gun owners and their families

[Dr. Lisa Starr @LisaStarrPhD]

@DerekDohrman @jmhorp I think it’s helpful when causes make themselves so obvious— it’s so rare in the prediction of low base rate complex behavioral phenotypes. The data are very clear that gun ownership tracks with suicide.
