Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 09/10/2025Sensitivity analyses?, the reviewer asked. Umm ✅ done and done 020
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 28/08/2025All really impressive! This is nfl strength impressive! 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 03/05/2025Just read and would highly recommend. Great piece all around, well balanced. 030
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Alex: HiTOP may be grassroots and maybe also greaseroots, too 🤣 And agree: it’s many putting in time for love and importance of this fundamental set of issues! 110
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Thank you for sharing Kevin. Completely spot on with all of it. It’s going to take many individuals with hope and courage, groups and communities working together. We also need leaders who can act and have power to stop bad decisions and reverse harm. And we need to speak and stand up so they hear 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Way to go Kevin! Great pics. Are you open to sharing your speech? Would love to read what you shared to the Seattle scientific community 020
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Good choice. Totally one of my comfort movies. And quite appropriate as we can’t lose hope in the darkness that is Mordor-trump-Sauron. Tolkien wrote about not losing hope in the darkness, and never more relevant 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 08/02/2025What did you share that you are comfortable sharing that can help incoming students and faculty who care about training and working collaboratively with incoming and current students? 100
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Thanks for this brief history. Any additional links or information you can provide for those interested i this history? 130
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Let’s hope so. Supposed to need act of congress, as with so many other “changes” in last few weeks 020
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 31/01/2025I emailed today sro for study section planned for mid February. Sro said it’s still on as planned, at least in February 020
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Is there a pun to be made about the box canyon here? You know you can pun one Tom 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 28/01/2025So mostly thoughts are—super cool work, raises more needed science on who (eg age, alcohol use severity) to better understand why, when, etc. I’d guess the individual dynamics you found would change with older individuals who have heavier and more regular alcohol use over time given the longer life 120
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 28/01/2025 I wonder how much results are dependent on your sample which was mostly young adults, so results of many individuals who drink for social positive motivation may depend on development (not older or middle aged drinkers, who might drink to cope with news in the world and stress!) 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 28/01/2025A little science nerd out on a day that calls for focus on discussing some interesting science. I loved the paper! Super cool and interesting the varied “profiles” that characterize young adult drinking based on affect, expectancies etc. 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Thanks for sharing. Way to go Rosi! Fully agree the award is well deserved for this science rockstar 020
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Good point and question: how many people’s uni or dept provide a course release/ teaching credit for journal edit or grant review service? Be nice to have data on who does and doesn’t get release or credit. 320
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Right on Hannah! In practice with grant review over years I think many have done what you implied about innovation, but better that nih change to make it explicit that novelty innovation is not the main point. Here’s hoping change helps. Curious to see with my doing my next grant review coming up 110
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 12/01/2025I do hope you write that book! Honestly though thanks for the social media length replies. Got what you’re saying and makes good sense. I could imagine many ways to go forward and was curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks! 120
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Look forward to reading. Can you say more what you mean by “reign of affect as blunt instrument …. Must end”? What do you think should be different, how, why? What areas do you think need to get better and how does “affect” fit into that change you’d like to see? Very curious re your views, thanks 120
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 22/12/2024I taught it before to size in 300s. Used to play theme based music at the start of each class (eg “borderline” by Madonna). had some guest speakers of folks with lived experiences share their stories as well as usual videos on which students would discuss sxs. Also caregivers present for kids dxs 130
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Great minds think alike! I did the same in my grad psychopathology class this fall. And like Aidan, answer is it’s complicated. Still a great exercise for us all to do, and for students to learn and think through. 050

Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Here is rank order listing of “best” programs in terms of which program produced the most faculty teaching/researching currently in clinical psych PhD programs and how many faculty these programs produced: UCLA 19 Wisconsin14 Pitt12 Illinois 12 Minnesota 11 Florida State 10 stony brook 9 Texas 9 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Average number of PhDs who are now teaching/researching who earned PhDs from these 35 schools = 3.2 (SD=3.2) with average year PhD conferred 2001. Rank Order Correlation between USNews list and my list of # trained = .61. 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Ie, where did the current Profs at clinical psych programs earn their PhD? Which clinical psych schools did they attend and get their training? I was curious, so I searched the top 30 US and 5 Canadian clinical psych PhD programs to see where faculty earned their PhD. Gives some insight of “best” 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 20/12/2024tis the season for PhD grad applications and faculty searches. Ever wonder which are the “best” clinical psych PhD programs? Yes, there are many ways to answer this (cough, US News World Report reputation rankings). Another way is “who trains/teaches the researchers and teachers”? 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Last. I have personal and professional interest and experiences in BG. I’m father to identical twins and have seen all Eric writes about so well in his book. He has great metaphors and examples from his life. He exudes humanity and care in this book. I’d assign and recommend for students. It’s a gem 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Only parts I wish were different: it was too short and I wanted more. Eric is great with gloomy prospect of what’s wrong and won’t work. Would love to hear/ read more from the brilliant scholar for his thoughts and suggestions moving forward for what TO DO in behavioral sciences beyond counting 000
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Loved chapter on intelligence as construct as it’s clear and applies to most of psych, including psychopathology, so sets realistic limits on what we will know. Prediction vs explanation is key here. End chapter on developmental systems a la waddington was great. 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Loved the history and details on fisher, gaulton etc. what they did and accomplished plus their real horrible character even for those times. The BG and molecular PGS chapters are spot on for how the methods work, what’s known, and what we likely wont get that we’d like 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Additional caveats. I really like and respect Eric’s writing and viewpoints. I assign his 98 psych review paper in my grad psychopathology course to help clear thinking on bio and genetic “cause” in psych. All that said… no surprise I loved the book. Clear, compelling, Interesting and important. 000
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Good timing Eric ad I finished your book last night and was going to give my tiny unrequested opinion. I’m not in either camp of the right or BGA establishment. I have read bg since mid 90s and molecular since 2000. I’ve published some gene environment stuff especially in dev psychopathology 510
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Will do. Please email me and I’ll reply with attachments 😁 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 11/12/2024The undergrad class I’m teaching on depression and mood disorders played the darth Vader empire theme from Star Wars when I walked in to give the last exam. I feel seen and understood 🤓😂 1230
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Thanks. We were thinking use frequency. Appreciate everyone’s suggestions. Bluesky academic community is great! 000
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 07/12/2024@kevinmking.bsky.social @joshuagrubbsphd.bsky.social what are suggested ways to assess vaping usage, kinda how smoking amount was measured before. Any help from addictions/ smoking peeps is requested for vaping assessment in adults. Thanks 212
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Thanks Awais for sharing the news. Fully agree with Lisa—his early work and that published throughout the 1980s was groundbreaking for interpersonal and social influences beyond within person cognitive and other risks. Knowing some who worked with him, he was a force in many ways 020
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Tough course to teach and cover all in semester. I’ve done it and tried it a few times. Please report back out and let all of us know how it goes for you and students. Hope it’s good for all. 000
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Andrew Bird is outstanding! Expert violinist, whistler, song writer, good singer, and great musical layers. Good one Don 110
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Great discussion and from leaders who do method development, teaching, and use in applied analysis. If you had suggestions for practical papers for special issue on current best practice methods and analytic approaches, what/ who would you suggest and what would you want to see covered? Thanks 010
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Rene, great and interesting important question. I’ve given a lot of thought to this and done some work in the area. Would be fun to chat and lend a hand if that would be useful and helpful. Many ways to consider and analyze stability and change 120
Ben Hankin @benhankin.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Please add me in. It’s a great and important topic. Thanks! 110
