On election day, I wanna announce that I am recruiting social psych PhD students for my lab at UIC. My lab focuses on racial identities (esp Asian, Latino, MENA Americans) and intra-minority conflict/ coalition. So please tell your students to pick me! All details on my website: www.pbandjlab.com

So proud of @alelazic.bsky.social of @abrir.bsky.social for leading this another amazing initiative! Do check the resources and also, don't forget to watch out for more info on the workshop!

Last week, I had the privilege of serving as the emcee for the Opening Ceremony of the International Conference on Inclusive Education, hosted by the School of Education at Sunway University. Spot me if you can! :D #ICIE2025 #InclusiveEducation #SunwayUniversity #5thGenUniversity

New blog post! Let's say you have two measures meant to capture the same confounder. They're highly correlated. Can you still proceed with your regression analysis? (I admit, the title is a bit of a spoiler) www.the100.ci/2025/10/13/i...

Excited to share my new preprint. My work focuses on solitude, but I am not one to advocate for a "solitude theory"; psych has too many theories so one less would be good. So, what I did the past 2 yrs is talking to people, reading work outside of my literature, essentially to shop for a framework 🧵

🎤 Presented our work on "(Elite) Private Higher Education in Malaysia & Pakistan" at the Access and Geopolitics Research Conference hosted by WAHEN, CGHE, and SKOPE – ‪@ox.ac.uk‬ this past Tuesday! 🇲🇾🇵🇰

this week I found out that my students are not familiar with the 'forever alone' meme and this makes me feel very ⬇️:

Open science isn't just for the rich. I wrote about building #REPOPSI – a repository of psychological instruments in Serbian – and what it taught me about doing #OpenScience with limited resources and lots of persistence. #PhDSky doi.org/10.1038/d415...

📢 Malaysian academic researchers: Share your experiences with research feedback and receive £20! @forrt.bsky.social is mapping feedback practices to create more inclusive research environments. Survey takes 5-15 mins. Complete the link here ⬇️ greenwichuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I'm still not fully recovered from last semester's burnout and I'm literally seeing it's impact on my physical health today 💀 To all experienced educators out here on #AcademicSky, how do you cope with the massive teaching load and responsibilities? Is there a more sustainable way to go about this?

Still sleep deprived and currently suffering the consequences 😷💀

I've been super sleep deprived this week prepping for lectures but it was sooooooooooo worth it when I've received positive feedback from some students that they enjoyed my class 🥹 I do hope that it gets better for me over time and i'll have more sleep 😂

I have started a Behavioural Science starter pack - just let me know if you would like to be added - see go.bsky.app/CzLwTyZ

Started reading this book by Hasok Chang and I’m immediately drawn in: “It is neither desirable nor any longer effective to try bullying people into accepting the authority of science. Instead, all members of the educated public can be invited to participate in science”

omg so i've received an email from wordpress telling me that an anonymous reader had gifted me an entire year of subscription renewal 😭 WHO ARE YOU? REVEAL YOURSELF SO I CAN THANK YOU 🥹🥹🥹
