Presented some preliminary results from my first year project today, with my partner and family watching over Zoom. 📊 Photo is from my partner, who watched along on their tablet back in our home in Chicago. ❤️

Can we start over on the whole social network thing? I would LOVE if someone made a social network that wasn't algorithm-driven and showed me what my friends liked, even if it wasn't relevant to me.

Did some community outreach to let the local community know about the mental health services offered at my department’s in-house clinic. We also made Feelings Jenga ~ kids loved it!! Each block had a question or prompt about naming emotions, coping, personal strengths, empathy, family, and more.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social: www.statnews.com/2025/01/31/c...

To help people understand the importance of NIH, share what you’ve used their funding for (in easily understandable terms). I’ll start: my NIH postdoc funding helped me develop and test AI tools that could identify skin cancer across diverse skin tones.

No doubt it’s a difficult time to be a researcher. An ever tougher time to be a diversity sciences researcher. sigh ~ Fingers crossed that the Minority Fellowship Program I just applied to survives this mess. It’s my dream fellowship 🥲

I haven't figured out threads on here: We made a thing! Learn R through PSYCH! Psychological Statistics You Can Handle - a 21 part Module to teach R. It's interactive, uses real open psych data, and is free. install.packages("swirl") library(swirl) install_course_github("krcarriere", "PSYCH")

Why, hello there BlueSky ~ Making the slow transition onto this platform. :)
