2/ Findings suggest an important role of emotion dysregulation in modulating stress, and underscore the need for additional research in this area.

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.

Went to dinner last night with @heatherschatten.bsky.social & our new R01!!! We're using the BACtrack Skyn & EMA to examine the timing & mechanisms underlying alcohol use & suicide risk.

I'm excited to be doing work that matters with close friends (also @lesliebrickphd.bsky.social and Amy Stamates)

Congratulations to you and Amy (now my URI BFF haha), and thanks for sharing your journey. I've been patiently waiting on an R01 (2nd percentile score in 10/24, council moved twice and finally happened in 05/25, pending status 05/25, JIT 06/25, second JIT 09/25). This feels like madness.
