So proud of my former mentee Alexis Alfano (now a graduate student with @rschacht.bsky.social), whose first first-authored paper was accepted by the Journal of Interpersonal Violence last night! Also, my 100th publication!

Merry Christmas to everyone except my spouse who thought I made Wu Tang cookies for our toddler (they’re clearly legs so that the Dino cookies I cut out will stand up)

📣 New Pub 📣 We captured 30-day emotion intensity & dysregulation data from EMA & examined in relation to cortisol (from hair) during the same period. Emotion intensity & hair cortisol levels were significantly associated among women with high (but not low) emotion dysregulation.

My 3-year-old is also very proud of herself for trying her first doughnut this morning. She’s been doing oral immunotherapy for a milk allergy since just after her 1st birthday, and this was a very exciting win!

The best kind of news to wake up to! So grateful to learn that my Loan Repayment Program award has been renewed for a third year by NIDA. These types of programs are life-changing for early career folx, and have enabled me to pursue a career in research (even if it isn’t the most lucrative option).

There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years. For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone

RFK Jr. to End 'Godsend' Narcan Program That Helped Reduce Overdose Deaths Despite His Past Heroin Addiction

Despite overcoming heroin addiction himself, RFK Jr. is backing plans to cut a critical Narcan program that helped reduce overdose deaths.

Shared on my personal accounts, but this feels professionally relevant too. April is C-section awareness month. Every now and then some discussion pops up online about whether c-sections “count” as birth, whether they’re an “easier” way to deliver, and all other kinds of nonsense.

An important point getting overlooked: When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on *what* the grant studies. They're cancelling them based on *who* is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants. This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

The entire National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) team at SAMHSA was terminated today. Do not listen to the platitudes of this administration when they say they care about drug overdose, addiction, mental health, or suicide.

🚨New pub🚨 We examined concordance of emotion-dependent risk-taking in the lab (via emotion induction & BART) & real-world (via EMA). Participants were more likely to drink alcohol, use cannabis & illicit drugs, & have condomless sex during elevated neg and pos emotions 1/

So grateful to the NIH Loan Repayment Program - just in time to ring in 2025, my federal student loans show a $0 balance. Keeping my fingers crossed for my renewal application to work down my private loans, but having some loan burden off my shoulders is an incredible relief.

I'm looking to form a standing community advisory board to partner on work being done in my lab. Folks who have done this, please drop tips, advice, and recommended readings on best practices!

Bit of a boom of followers this morning, so thought I’d do an introduction! I’m an Assistant Professor at Yale funded by a NIDA K23 to combine EMA and wearable biosensors to predict substance use among individuals who have experienced trauma.
