Excited to finally announce: I’m heading south this fall to start as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in School Psychology at the University of South Carolina! So grateful for my incredible support network. Lab website loading (and the apartment is still in boxes) - but spurs are already up 🤙🐔❤️!

Necessary research. Ive been watching this phenomenon happen since around 2015 (?) and it has been wild seeing papers that read like longish posts on Der Sturmer (especially shit on race and IQ and race and violence, etc) seek and acquire a simulacrum of legitimacy this way.

APF stepping up, $20k Crisis Grants for early career researchers (including grad students) who had NIH or NSF grants terminated. H/t to @drdianechen.bsky.social for sharing ampsychfdn.org/funding/dacf/

Investing in school mental health staff can have a large impact on student well-being. Learning at a young age that adults are present and care can fundamentally change students' relationship to seeking mental health care in the future. The adults in the room really set the tone for youth!

Call for papers: The role of non-clinical providers in expanding equitable access to effective youth #mentalhealth care. Deadline for abstracts is March 3rd, 2025! 📣 bit.ly/42TGhZQ @meghanacostello.bsky.social @randimschuster.bsky.social

@randimschuster.bsky.social and I are editing an Issue of @apajournals.bsky.social @scpdiv12.bsky.social on a topic that feels increasingly relevant: Non-Clinical Providers to Support Equitable Access to Youth Mental Health Care Abstracts due March 3! www.apa.org/pubs/journal...

Longitudinal research is the key to understanding mental health, but it can pose challenges to youth privacy and autonomy. By adding 7 “silly” questions (think: eye color, birth month, etc.) to routine school screeners, we can link and track symptoms over time - no ID required!

When I started in research as a career, I knew that success would be measured in productivity. What I *didn't* expect was how much predatory journal content there actually would be (on a near-daily basis).
