Today I collected data for the last kiddo of 2025! 🎉 Past me is annoyed that my dissertation data collection will continue in January, but current me can finally see the finish line (I think).

Hello! I am excited to share that I am seeking postdoctoral research opportunities for Fall 2026. I aim to understand early math development, children’s early learning, and family engagement, with broad interests in developmental psychology. DM or email at [email protected]

Are you at @srcdorg.bsky.social? Come to the poster session right now (8:30-9:30) to talk about our work on parent talk styles during math play!

My masters thesis is now in press at CEP! We used SEVT to explore whether math motivation profiles in 6th and 10th grade predicted math test scores and STEM career aspirations concurrently and longitudinally in a sample of Black students mostly surviving economic marginalization.

Thrilled for #AERA2024 and to chair the symposium on "Broadening Our Understanding of Early Math Support at Home and at School"! Looking forward to engaging discussions and learning from the groundbreaking research presented. Can't wait to connect with fellow researchers! #PsychSciSky

"moreover" is my new favorite word according to everything I wrote today

Day 1 of 2 of the Vanderbilt Writing Retreat over Fall Break. My goal is to reorganize and edit my Quals lit review paper and send a draft off to my advisor by the end of the session on Friday!

Congrats to my mentor and friend @douglas_ashli (hopefully joining bluesky soon!) for publishing her dissertation paper! You are a rockstar that I aspire to be one day! Check out the paper here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky

🗓️🚨Save the date for the next MCLS Special on October 27 for a two-hour workshop (3-5pm BST/10-12pm ET) by Krzysztof Cipora on data preprocessing in R! Organised by MCLS trainee - More information will soon be available.

I need to take more detailed notes on design when reading the literature for a review so I don't have to keep going back to the papers. I tend to be too broad in my notes and categorizations, assuming that the way I'm thinking about things is how I will continue to think about them.

Unnecessarily wordy academic language: -“in the context of.” Usually “in” does it. -“While [long clause about X], [long clause about Y].” Usually better to have a sentence of X and then one on Y. -“the ways in which,” usually “how” can do the trick. Others #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky
