Honored to be part of this reflective piece led by @laurenshallion.bsky.social. Thinking through these issues was cathartic, then lit a fire, then instilled hope for how to keep moving psych wellness & behavioral health forward. May others feel that hope & drive to keep psych science rolling. 🙏🏼

This was agreed on last September. Wish we didn't have so much, um, new data to rely on. I've been absorbing thoughts from many of you & will throw your name out anytime I feel I'm pulling from your inspiration. Even when I'm not as vocal, you're impacting me in ways I strive to pay forward.

Super bummed to miss #APLS2025 this year—especially @anthonyperillo.bsky.social's appearance in plenary and Hot Ones 2 panels—but thankful for all sharing the amazing stuff they are seeing at the conference! Keep posting.

The #APLS2025 conference has officially started! Thank you to our 2025 Conference Co-Chairs, Jenni Cox & Lori Hoetger-Fendrick, for organizing an exciting program. Thank you to our President Christian Meissner for your leadership this year. Finally, congratulations to all our award winners!

@anthonyperillo.bsky.social "Looking at scientific engagement as a shared common goal rather than someone swooping in" and saying what should be is necessary to build trust and move towards solutions. #apls2025

@anthonyperillo.bsky.social addressing how psychology has been oppressive. We haven't earned trust. Cited @evanauguste.bsky.social at al. I recommend this paper to *everyone* pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36753574/ #apls2025

@anthonyperillo.bsky.social We need to center community members before we start a project. We need to hear what ppl need from them rather than relying on our assumptions about what is helpful. Psychologist want to help but need to realize that we might not know the best way to do that #apls2025

Today’s plenary addressed the timely topic of trust in psych, law, science, & institutions. Panelists Amy Fettig, Joe Hamm, & Anthony Perillo shared their perspectives on why trust has eroded and how to build public trust in science & legal settings. Thank you to Tess Neal for moderating! #apls2025
