    Looking towards 2021, few statistical laws give me more hope than regression to the mean.

    So...basically 1/10 worries come true? That’s way worse than I had imagined.
    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.

    Yeah, sex is good, but have you tried the moral superiority of doing your slides and papers in LaTeX?

    It’s time to end the clinical psych internship model as we know it. Forcing our students to uproot and move, possibly for only a year, in their late 20’s/early 30’s is terribly disruptive to them and families. 1/2
    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....
