Last thing to note on @joshtpm.bsky.social’s thread:
The top scientists at NIH are not billionaires, and in fact they make a lot less than $500k per year. People take huge pay cuts to come to NIH because they believe in public service and think they can do the best science there.

Parents, college students:
Please be aware that NIH wants to interview and hire IRTAs - postbacs, PhD students, and postdocs this year, but we are currently banned from doing so. We may have a gaping hole.
You can and should contact your Senator and House member in your home state.

Which all reinforces the view that the pathology of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia is better thought of as an emergent maladaptive attractor state of a dynamical system than a direct result of acute genetic dysfunction in some specific cells of the brain

I think it’s hands down the best 2D Mario has ever been!

I also have not read it but I will look into it!

And it is certainly intensive! Our program is a six-program, and then also includes the predoctoral internship year that clinical psych students must complete. It’s a long road for sure!

Given the size of the applicant pool I’m sure there’s interest for it! I think the issue is quite simply the bottleneck of available programs, which is even smaller if one considers only the research-focused clinical psych programs (e.g., PCSAS programs)

It was my preference to be in the clinical area so that I could have the training and exposure to the populations I wanted to do research with. I applied to one cognitive neuroscience program as a backup, so I imagine that is what I would have done if I had not made it to a clinical program

It is ruthlessly competitive. I applied to 16 programs and only was admitted to one! I consider myself extremely lucky to have landed anywhere. Every program I applied to was on the order of hundreds of applications for ~5-10 slots
