New paper alert! Led by Dr. LillyBelle Deer (@lillybelledeer.bsky.social), we found that an acute stressor task did not significantly impact EF performance in middle childhood. Children with greater parasympathetic reactivity (RSA) performed better under stress. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New campus building and workspace brings so much joy and gratitude! 🌳🏫 Kicking off my first year in the Stanford GSE 📚

Shameless plug that I'm on the job market! As a postdoc at Stanford's Center on Early Childhood, I study how children navigate growing up in poverty, w/ attention to both the challenges they face & the adaptive strengths they develop. To learn more & download my CV, see www.meriahdejoseph.com

Words and gestures help tune infant attention before they can speak. New UC Davis study finds babies focus longer when object labels ("bear") are paired with spatial words ("here"), and even longer when paired with gestures like pointing. ucdav.is/4lYtXgL

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Exciting news to share: As of June 12th, I have completed my PhD in Psychology at UC Davis! I am so grateful to my advisor @camhostinar.bsky.social, lab @seslab.bsky.social, and department @ucdavispsych.bsky.social for supporting me over the past 6 years! Here's to the next step – postdoc!

New review from Jess Morrel & the @hertinglab.bsky.social exploring links between air pollution and the developing brain. tl;dr: this literature is growing, but there are still gaps in time (sensitive exposure windows, timing of exposure -> brain changes) and space (most data from US/Europe)

Hearing from all corners of HHS this morning about a total bloodletting — firings of scientists, analysts and many more as delayed RIFs take effect. Many folks didn’t see early AM email and showed up, only to be turned away when badges didn’t work. Was sent this photo of long lines at one HHS site.

Welcome back to campus, Aggies! We hope you have a great first day of spring quarter 🌷 #OurUCDavis Image description: Students walking and biking by on campus with light pink spring blooms in the foreground.

I know not everyone can keep up with all the grant terminations, but it’s important to know what we’re losing so I’ll try to compile them here. First is a study on intimate partner violence with perinatal women (note: the #1 cause of death during pregnancy is homicide) bsky.app/profile/rebe...

Spring conference season is kicking off… holding a poster workshop next month for undergraduate researchers. What poster tips or tricks do you have to share?

#NIH PIs, check the federal register tomorrow. Nothing is final until you receive your NoA. Nothing is confirmed until it's in the FR. If you have a pending application, check eRA. Thanks, @jeremymberg.bsky.social.

This feels like scientific hell for us, but I can only imagine how it feels for our POs. They must be gutted inside. One day we will learn of their heroics to try to save one of the greatest science funding agencies in the world. For now, we are all stuck and suffering.

By @katherinejwu.com "The NIH... supported 99 percent of the drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010 to 2019. The agency has had a hand in “nearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades,” The NIH is in a struggle for its (and our) lives. This is existential to America:

NEW: The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep funding frozen at the NIH - a move that some legal scholars say is illegal. Federal Register notices are blocked, so no grant-review sessions can be scheduled. All the gritty details here, and a short 🧵: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

Our #MINDS post-bacc program is accepting applications til March 1st! ✨ ✅ two-years full-time PAID research ✅ $41,000 annual salary +benefits ✅ personalized grad school prep & cohort of peers ✅ $1,500 to relocate + $1,500 in prof dev funds ✅ dedicated mentors + more! z.umn.edu/minds Please share ✨

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

A smile on this Monday morning 😊

Keep sharing your JOY ✨ Keep celebrating your PhD defenses, job offers, and awards! Keep telling us ALL the good things. Joy & Hope are what keep us going when things look bleak. They are also forms of resistance.

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.
