    What are some of the sayings your advisors often said that have stuck with you? For some reason today this one plays in my mind: “When it’s your turn to be asshole, don’t.”

    It finally happened on the way to school this AM… 6yo: Dad, can we do science stuff this weekend? Me (ecstatic): absolutely! You know mommy and I are both scientists! 6yo: I mean real science. Not people science, gooey science.

    What % of worries actually come true? New study finds that 91.4% of worries did not come true for those with GAD. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

    I've been getting a lot of emails from potential PhD student applicants for my lab this fall. Too many to respond to. So this is the standard response I wrote up. I know some folks are on here and may not be emailing, so sharing it in case helpful.

    A bit of news... Starting "on or about January 1st, 2023" I'll be handling all new submissions to the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science. I'm excited to be the incoming editor in chief and feel big responsibility for being a good steward of psychopathology sci.

    Ok, I’m a third of the way through internship interviews. I know it’s an arduous process regardless, but it has been especially tricky having two kids. Especially one that’s under the age of one. This wouldn’t be possible without my husband and our families....
