Scholarly and scientific career

Weems is known for his basic and translational research in developmental psychology. He has authored and co-authored over 160 peer-reviewed journal articles and a book titled "The Neuroscience of Pediatric PTSD".[3]

Weems is the principal investigator of the main ISU Child Welfare Research and Training Project grants (CWRTP.) He is also the Co-Principal Investigator/Co-director of Enabling Sustainable Community Health through a Transdisciplinary Translational Research Network (UTURN.) Since 2008 he has served as editor-in-chief[4] of the Child and Youth Care Forum, a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed academic journal.[5]

Weems' scientific contributions include: researching and creating a model describing the effect of traumatic stress on amygdala development, proposing a network model of PTSD in childhood and adolescence, and providing a revised model of adverse childhood experiences called Traumatic and Adverse Childhood Experiences (TRACEs) integrating resilience and the neuroscience of PTSD.[6][7][8] The revised model has generated scientific and community use as an alternative view of the effect of adverse childhood experiences.[9][10] His empirical work has also led to a theory for understanding the developmental expression of anxiety disorders across childhood and adolescence through understanding the role of statistical suppressor effects.[11] Additionally, he has contributed to intervention development and prevention programming for child and youth anxiety and PTSD.[12][1]

Fellowship

Weems is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and Association for Psychological Science.[13][14]
