Bummed to be missing #ISDP2025 this year, but excited to get updates about exciting science here on BlueSky 🤩

🚨I am in the most delightful position of having a postdoc land a faculty job! Which means I will be looking to hire at least one new postdoc this cycle! More to come soon but if you're interested feel free to email me or come say hi at @isdp.org in a week or two!

Just published! ✨ Across 15+ timepoints, we found that unpredictability in economic hardship – not only severity – shapes young children’s self-regulation. Understanding these dynamics can help us design supports that promote stability and adaptive development. 👉 bit.ly/4oIZO75

Rita Hamad, professor of social epidemiology and public policy, explains why losing the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System puts the health of mothers and infants at risk, and how she hopes to help keep its data accessible. “Without data, we can’t fix problems,” says @ritahamad.bsky.social

The @umdleadlab.bsky.social and the world lost a bright star this week. Victoria was such a kind, dedicated, and passionate person. She was one of my first students, helping me set up my lab from scratch, and I am honored to have worked with her. There aren't words for how much we will miss her. ❤️

We are looking to hire a postgraduate research associate in my lab to work on our study examining neural mechanisms of psychological risk on mother and infant adjustment. Please see link for more information! postdocs.yale.edu/posts/2025-1...
