It's been a while since I've posted about a writing pet peeve. So here we go: 'Emerging research' What does this mean? Where is the research emerging from?

I'm looking forward to attending my first ISPP! If you will be there and would like to meet to chat about your research or @natrevpsychol.nature.com please get in touch!

Look at these cuts that will devastate med/behavioral health research, severely limit mental health services, & end educational programming. YOU help STOP these cuts by flooding Congress using the link below. This is for ANYONE to do, so please spread the word!! www.votervoice.net/APAAdvocacy/...

If you have opinions about program officers being political appointees please read & make a public comment (link at end of article). "Such comments matter: They must be read & responded to by federal officials and can provide the basis for courts overturning new rules from the executive branch."

Canadians abroad, don't forget we can now vote in federal elections! If you aren't on the international voter registry yet, there's an extra step to getting your ballot. It's quick and easy but do it ASAP so you get your ballot in time!

These interviews offer such an important window into the lives of the people clinical psychology aims to help, and their experiences with the medical and research community. They are FREE for the next month, please read and share.

This month we introduce a Collection on lived experience expertise in mental health research. The centerpiece is 11 interviews with lived experience experts who generously share their personal experiences with mental health challenges & explain why they decided to contribute to clinical research.

If you or your research have been affected by events in the US and you want to speak out or are happy to be contacted by a journalist, I can connect you with the Nature News team. They can ensure anonymity if required. DMs are open.

Proud supporter of BPL right here 💪

Deeply unimpressed with the Denver weather forecast, @spspnews.bsky.social

The timing of this piece is a little bit heartbreaking but is also a reminder that we will continue to care about and champion these issues.

I spoke with a friend last night who is not in the science world; she had no idea about what's been going on over the past few weeks. It was a great reminder that we don't need to focus on reaching people who might disagree with us -- we need to reach people who will agree with us.

Sometimes I hate when our content is relevant 🧪

I'm looking forward to attending SPSP next month! If you will be there and want to meet to discuss your research or Nature Reviews Psychology (@natrevpsych.bsky.social) please get in touch!

Found some time to give this OER Research Methods for Psychology online textbook a fresher look and feel, thanks to #quartopub. I haven't taught this course in a while, so there isn't much new to the content, still feel free to use, edit, copy etc. www.crumplab.com/ResearchMeth...

Pet peeve of the day: "early research" What makes the research 'early'? Was it conducted in the morning? Before the scheduled meeting time?

This is a fantastic article on a timely topic that is relevant to so many real-world issues, such as how the results of political polls influence people's beliefs and how to change beliefs about climate change

We are go! Follow the new #NatureReviews journals and #NatureProtocols starter pack go.bsky.app/KcxvQLp 🧪 @natureportfolio.bsky.social

Words like ‘increase’, ‘decrease’ or ‘reduce’ imply that there was a manipulation or change over time Phrases like ‘less than’ and ‘more than’ and words like ‘higher’ and 'lower’ imply a comparison Sometimes you just mean 'high' or 'low' Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Since our first commissioning meeting my team and I have wanted to publish something about the tension between basic vs. applied research. And now we have. Please check out this must-read piece on the need to place greater value on applied research with concrete suggestions for how to do so 👇

We said hello to our new followers last week, but there's many more of you now! Welcome! We've created a starter pack for you, which is a work in progress. We'd also love to hear from you about your work we've published or what kind of things you want us to post.

Nature Reviews Psychology has been interviewing individuals with doctoral degrees in psychology who pursued non-academic careers. Check out the full set of interviews here: go.nature.com/3CnTwXv You can find more content related to supporting #psychology trainees here: go.nature.com/47A5dV9

Great to have @jennrichler.bsky.social from @natrevpsych.bsky.social back at Vandy as our distinguished alumnus. My two favs: 1) Good writing is clear to a reader with limited time 2) If each piece of information is a stone, don't just scatter them around, make a clear path for the reader to follow

Our visual experience is biased towards the past. Despite extensive research on serial dependencies, their purpose remains unknown. In our @natrevpsych.bsky.social paper (rdcu.be/dD8of) we propose they are manifestations of Continuity Fields, purposeful integration mechanisms 1/8
