The disappointment continues with each new student that joins my lab. Nobody knows why the water can't be drunk, nobody knows that you shouldn't shoot giant birds. It's like they don't even teach Rime of the Ancient Mariner in schools anymore

Come on, @nytimes.com. You can print 2k words (w/o a single hyperlink to a scientific study) saying psych meds are overprescribed, hitting all the beats you'd expect in a B- student paper (Szasz, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) without one mention of psychotherapy? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/m...
Anakin: Psychiatric medications are overprescribed and we need alternatives
Padme: Alternatives like empirically-supported psychotherapy, right?

Headline: CHATBOTS ARE TAKING OVER Reality: Almost everybody used a chatbot one time and never again
Headline that trumpets that half of teens use chatbots for schoolwork. In actuality, the survey found that 54% of students used a chatbot once in their lifetime for schoolwork.
Chart that shows that most teens do not usually use chatbots for schoolwork

I remember when you asked a professor for a *strong* letter of recommendation Now I guess you need to ask them if they will write you a letter without using AI

This is from the Frontiers report the article covers (Nature is so nice to help Frontiers spread the good news of AI!) Only 16% of North American researchers report regular AI peer review use. Almost nobody reports frequent AI (Nature forgot to mention that), but it's more common in other regions
A table showing that most people use generative AI for peer review "never" or "rarely," with somewhat higher rates of use in places other than North America

If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.
Me: Does X really want letters of support from co-Is?
Colleague: Yes. I'm writing it for you though today
Me: Ok thanks! So dumb though, they're not required
C: Can't hurt
Me: Hurts my soul
C: Haha I'm okay with your soul being damaged if the grant is funded
Me: Boy, doesn't that just sum up this entire Faustian deal of a career we've chosen for ourselves

From my read, at the top of this policy it says that it does not apply to anything collected through their survey platform

But wait! There's more! Dr. Daniel Fridberg is our illustrious discussant! He will guide conversation about how we can improve our knowledge of daily life drinking. (I'll give a talk, too, about the overlap of self-reported alcohol use and portable breathalyzer data) You won't want to miss it!

Hey! You! Yeah, you, fellow #RSA2025 attendee! What are you doing Monday at 9:30? What's that? You're eating beignets in the French Quarter? Actually, that sounds pret--No! Get the beignets to go and come to Empire A for a scintillating symposium about how to study drinking episodes in daily life

This morning I represented the University of Notre Dame at The Science of Mental Health and Addiction, an event on Capitol Hill to spread awareness on cutting-edge mental health and addiction research and the critical nature of federal funding for this work.

Last Wednesday I woke up to news of a power outage that shut down the psychology building (and a bunch of others) on campus I've been working fully at home for the past week now. Power MIGHT get restored by the end of tomorrow

I ran my first half marathon last Sunday! (And only my second adult race ever, the other was a 5k) My goal was under two hours and I managed 1:52 (Apologies for cross-posting, but it's so rare that I have something to share that isn't pizza related--I saved a bonus pic for here, though!)
