Stirling joined the lab in 2020 and quickly became an essential member of the lab. During Stirling’s time in the lab, he was very productive publishing three first-author papers. His first paper looked at the association between discrimination stress and suicidality in preadolescent children (Argabright et al., 2022, Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry) and his second paper explored the association of racial/ethnic discrimination and pubertal development in early adolescence (Argabright et al., 2022, Psychoneuroendocrinology).
