Please pass along to anyone who may be interested in working on some youth suicide research with me in Tulsa this summer! 💖

Elizabeth “Libby” Winn (Research Assistant) is interested in how early life adversity and resilience intersect to shape mental and behavioral health outcomes, and plans to pursue graduate studies in mental health counseling!

Great work Emma!

I am thrilled to share my new first author pub in JAD! 🥳 We found minority stress was associated with concurrent and future experiences of defeat, and defeat was associated with prospective minority stress in sexual minority college students reporting SI.

New paper from our team: Can ML identify which adolescents benefit most from school-based mindfulness?

In 8,376 students (MYRIAD trial), models detected statistically significant but clinically negligible differential effects (d ≈ .07–.08).

Precision prevention is hard...

Thank you Amy 💖💖

Surprise! My lab is now on Bluesky 🤗 After months of navigating internship, graduation, and the transition to my new role at LIBR, I'm excited to jump back in to sharing the work we are doing with y'all in this space! Yay SEEDS! 🌸🍓

Understanding barriers to adolescent participation in developmental neuroscience research Increasing representation of youth in developmental neuroscience research is essential to elucidating neurobiological mechanisms of cognition, behavio…

New lab paper in DCN! 🧠 We conducted interviews with adolescents to better understand their perceptions of neuroscience research and barriers to participation, w/qualitative data that is shaping how we design lab studies & efforts to increase representation.

A critical task for future research on reporting inconsistency is to better understand and distinguish between youth who may be experiencing adaptive forgetting or reconceptualizing, which may be positive, from youth who are engaging intentional non-disclosure, which may increase risk of harm.

However, this inconsistency may not be all bad. We found that inconsistency was related to lower internalizing and externalizing symptoms at baseline and follow up, as well as a lower likelihood of reporting future SITBs. Therefore, inconsistency may indicate adaptive processes and stabilization.

Our results were staggering: about 67% of youth who reported lifetime SITBs at a baseline assessment failed to report such history one year later. Such inconsistency is concerning, as it hampers accurate risk assessment in a clinical contexts and may add extra noise to our data in research contexts.

Though delayed by my internship year, I have a new paper out in Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science! In this paper, we examine rates of inconsistency in lifetime reporting of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) among youth in the ABCD Study!

#standupforscience2025 in Tulsa, OK yesterday. As @awiglesworth.bsky.social said, we (and the folks driving by) learned something.

Worth reading!

Psychologists claim they are all for interdisciplinary science, but rush to say "this is outside of my area" at the slightest hint of being asked to engage with it.

Even worse, these areas are quickly abandoned as the fads end, 'elite' labs flee, and the questions start getting mature and harder.

How the national conversation shifted from structural racism to DEI How the conversation about DEI has evolved over time.

1/7. Public discourse about racial equity has changed a lot over the years. At @commhsp.bsky.social we’ve been monitoring those changes and their consequences. In a new 538 article, @efranklinfowler.bsky.social and I share what we’ve been seeing and why it matters.

#match2025 #APPIC For anyone who didn't match today, there are some WONDERFUL positions still available in Phase 2. Check us out!

Current events have only reaffirmed my commitment to community driven health disparities work, advocacy, and action. As my dear mentor Joe Gone would say, onward and upward ❤️

In particular, I'm excited to bring more youth focused work to the institute, build on existing partnerships with Native communities in Oklahoma, and become more integrated into the Tulsa community.

and Research Assistant Professor at the University of Tulsa. I have felt so privileged to work with folks here at LIBR as an intern and am looking forward to contributing to the institute in a new capacity after internship.

Despite all that is going on right now (and particularly the discourse around science and all things "diversity"), I am really excited that, starting this fall, I will be continuing my program of research on youth suicide risk as an Associate Investigator at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research

It hasn't felt like the "right time" for announcements, but seeing as this is our world now... *cue announcement*

Is puberty (as a biomarker of adolescence) related with identity development? In an open-access article in the American Psychologist, colleagues and I found that sexual minority self-identification and pubertal timing mutually inform one another across two samples of adolescents.

I had to google my word but it's kind of a serve I think

I can hardly believe it, but..
