🚨NEW PUB: It is feasible & acceptable to pair portable breathalyzers with EMA of IPV among young adults with a history of aggression & heavy drinking. >90% compliance with greater responsiveness to breathalyzers as the evening progressed despite intoxication! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Check out our new paper using EMA to show that specific cannabis modalities are associated with momentary changes in subjective drug effects, which have been previously linked to sustained and problematic use.

Infographic explaining Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) for PTSD. The left side describes PE as an 8-15 session therapy helping clients systematically process emotions from traumatic events, noting its efficacy in symptom improvement. The right side denotes PE's recommendation in 80-90% of clinical practice guidelines, with long-term data showing significant PTSD symptom reduction in treated clients compared to untreated. Logos displayed for STRONG STAR Training Initiative and UT Health San Antonio.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy, or PE, helps clients overcome traumatic memories through structured exposure activities - both in session and in daily life.

⚖️ HUGE day today in the NIH terminations cases
There's a trial (of sorts) at 10a ET in Boston today for arguments that NIH unlawfully terminated 100s of grants.
It's a 3 hour hearing and I'll post periodic updates.
Of note: this is the 1st lawsuit filed against the Trump Admin to go to trial.

Title page for article, “I get drunk on jealousy: Daily jealousy as a proximal antecedent to emerging adults’ intimate partner violence perpetration” by Meagan J. Brem.
As an Academic Swiftie, I am delighted that the title of my first solo-authored pub incorporates TS lyrics 🪩🫶 But in all seriousness, feeling more jealous than usual proximally preceded young adults’ intimate partner violence perpetration. Jealousy ≠ love, y’all.

The image shows the proposed HHS (Health and Human Services) reorganization based on documents shared with the altCDC on April 16, 2025. It outlines the structure and hierarchy of the HHS, detailing various administrations, offices, centers, and institutes. Here's a breakdown of the key components: Secretary for Health & Human Services: At the top of the hierarchy. Administration for a Healthy America: Underneath which are the Surgeon General and the Office of the Secretary, which further branches out into: Assistant Secretary for External Affairs Office of Strategy Assistant Secretary for Innovation Office of Pharmacy Affairs Office of Chief Technology Officer Assistant Secretary for Consumer Product Safety Assistant Secretary for Enforcement Vaccine Injury Compensation Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources (ASFR) Office of the General Counsel Office of the Inspector General Assistant Secretary for Administration Immediate Office of the Secretary Office of National Security Administration for Children & Families Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): with the new Biothreat Radar Detection System and Center for Preparedness & Response. National Institutes for Health (NIH), including various national institutes. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Indian Health Service (IHS) The reorganization chart also includes a legend indicating new offices/divisions/agencies, existing HHS offices/divisions, programs, and offices eliminated. Notably, the disclaimer states, "HHS Reorganization Based on Documents Shared with altCDC on April 16, 2025. Does not reflect eliminated Agencies, Offices, and Programs." This indicates that the chart is a snapshot of the proposed changes as of that date and may not represent the final structure.
Here is a legible version of the HHS Org Chart submitted with the leaked 2026 Budget.
This version does NOT include eliminated programs but allows you to see the final structure proposed.
Contact us on Signal @altCDC.99 if you would like it in another version like Visio. #HHS #CDC #CMS
