Clinical psychologist. Serious mental illness. Psychosis-risk. Postdoc at Northwestern University.
I am SO proud of Sophie Parmacek for publishing her 1st first-authored pub! Sophie found the first evidence that people at CHR for psychosis have impairments in recognizing emotions (particularly fear) through body movement.

FYI, Sophie will be applying for clinical psychology programs this cycle 👀
Huge congratulations to Sophie, our asssessment specialist at ADAPT Lab on the publication of her new paper in Schizophrenia Research: Cognition!

So proud to see you and @daniellepratt.bsky.social's research shine in this important work.

Ever wonder how cognition relates to social outcomes in people at clinical high-risk for psychosis? 🤔

I am SO proud of Nashya Linares for publishing her FIRST first-author paper. This paper definitely shows her persistence, as quite a bit of data wrangling was needed for this one.

Yes. Also, NIH itself has stopped recruitment of PhD students, postbacs, and postdocs at all its campuses.

The nat'l recruitment cycle is closing, everyone will be done soon. It's already a lost year of talent coming in to do great science at NIH. Damage to 🧪 is real. (Story linked below, see 🧵.)
N.b.: Missing one round for grant submissions is one thing. But we're in the stage of the annual grad school cycle where students choose a doctoral program. U Iowa could be losing an entire year's worth of graduate students in some programs here.
If University of Iowa can’t afford NIH 15% indirect rates then no one in California, NY, Fla or Pennsylvania can

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

In an effort led by the wonderful Lauren Luther, we find that a 3-factor model of the Defeatest Performance Belief Scale (Overvaluing Success, Overvaluing Failure, and Overvaluing Social Evaluation) is the best psychometric fit for schizophrenia and CHR samples! Very cool stuff, come check it out!
