AB Hernandez shared a podium in long jump, high jump and triple jump in the CIF state track and field finals Saturday, an image of unity between teenage girls.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

Tariffs get all the attention, but ask economists what they're really worried about and many will point to the Trump administration's cuts to federal support for the sciences, including canceling grants and revoking student visas. #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/b...

1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

Life with a newborn has been a very happy distraction from *all this* Here’s a timeline cleanse for those who need it

Goes without saying for scientists: This means Musk and his kids have access to grant applications, study section reports, internal scoring, RPPRs. The core of the best ideas in US science. Will they steal those ideas? #scicomm #neuroskyence #evodevo #publichealth 🧪🧑‍🔬

If your research could be affected by such policies, you can use OSF or similar services to post a preprint with a CC-BY license to ensure it is accessible to everyone: osf.io/preprints OSF is open source, free-to-use, and maintained by @cos.io a 501(c)3 charity.

I didn't think I'd have to say this, but as someone who's spent years studying and treating "addictions" there is no such thing as "dopamine addiction," no matter what Insta/ TikTok tell you, and anything using that phrase is a gutter trash scam.

To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for: 1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;

Our commentary, that will surely spark debate, is now accepted ‘Behavioral Weight Loss Treatment Promotes Weight Loss by Increasing Eating Disorder Symptoms: A Response to Grilo & Pittman (2024)’ in International Journal of Eating Disorders @uofleatlab.bsky.social

It is incredibly hard to estimate the effects of laws on mental health, but this is a well-designed effort in an excellent journal. The findings, that anti-trans law lead to worse mental health and suicide attempts, should be taken seriously. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How does childhood adversity shape development across the lifespan, and how can we interrupt the intergenerational transmission of trauma?

More than a million Americans use Medicaid to get addiction treatments like methadone. But as states update their systems, some patients have lost coverage. Even a short gap can be life-threatening.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Trigger warnings are not helpful - and can indeed be *harmful* - for people who have experienced trauma

Ok I woke up still heated about this. Let’s break down a few reasons this is problematic: 🧵

APA is recommending “low-calorie recipes” to manage seasonal depression. In 2023.

A glimpse of what it’s like to be married to me on Celtics’ opening day:

Tonight I successfully taught my in-laws to play Wingspan. Can I count this as a pedagogical accomplishment in my annual review?

He flipped his ear over!

Years ago I went to the doc and told them I was fatigued, often dizzy, and short of breath to the point that I couldn’t finish my workouts. They sent me home with an inhaler. On my way out I requested bloodwork just in case. My hemoglobin was 5 g/dL

*So* many of the problems we’ve decided should be treated by medical or mental health professionals can be addressed by simply giving people more money
