The NYU department of psychology is also reinstating the GRE as a requirement for PHD admissions. I heard Yale and Harvard are as well. Now Penn too. If you are applying to psych PHD programs this year be sure to take the exam.

I’m saying this as someone who’s in a 90% teaching position. Teaching vs. research is a false choice. Robust public funding of higher ed that existed without controversy until Reagan is the answer. The answer to “solving” whatever “problems” exist in higher ed is literally “throw money at it.”

Next to the kiss and actual ceremony, the loudest cheers at the wedding I attended last night were for the Knicks

Inspired by this wonderful repository, I've begun the process of making my own repository of published self/other-report measures in aggression science. It's incomplete but I hope it's a start to something useful to those who study human harm-doing. davidchester.weebly.com/aggression-s...

Best part of this job students waving to you as they pass your office or on the way to class

Working on a meta-analysis and my number 1 piece of advice for anyone else considering doing their first meta-analysis is that there ARE other types of studies that one can conduct… you don’t have to suffer

Today, one of my students - who entered stats this semester saying she was not a math or computer person - was confidently raising her hand to debug our class code A good teaching moment

This is Emily. She is 6 and a half. She just discovered I'm a scientist. Immediately upon learning this, she asked if I knew any "Black Hole" scientists, and if I did, could I ask this question. So, from Emily: Can black holes swallow other black holes?

Academics: If you’re trying to make sense of how people you know knew Epstein, it’s book agent John Brockman. He’s savvy enough to lay low, but we should be talking about him. Friends don’t let friends sign with Brockman. www.buzzfeednews.com/article/pete... And newrepublic.com/article/1548...
