Congratulations to Dr. LaBerge!!!!

A huge congratulations to the newly-minted DOCTOR @alyssa-laberge.bsky.social! Alyssa has worked with me for 7 years, first as a master’s student and then as a PhD student. Her growth as a scholar, teacher, and person has been such a joy to witness. She’s on to a TT position at UW LaCrosse!

This seems like a good time to remind people that the Stanford Prison Experiment was based on fraudulent data. The "guards" were cruel to the prisoners because Zimbardo told them what he wanted to find with his research, and because they *wanted* to help him prove his point.

Making the shift to this app! Thought I’d introduce myself - I’m a current PhD Candidate at WSU and Senior Research Assistant at PSU. Primary research interests are in pretrial, courts, and corrections. Current projects on bail, FTA, and mass care. Let me know if you have any Bsky tips!

New Assistant Professor just dropped! Alyssa and I have worked together since 2018 and she is truly a rising star. University of Wisconsin La Crosse is lucky to have her. I can’t wait to see where her career goes next—give her a follow!

First post! I’m a Criminal Justice PhD candidate at Michigan State and I study delinquency, the maltreatment-offending relationship, and dual system youth intersecting child welfare & juvenile justice. Most of all, I love teaching undergrads! Sometimes I post on social media, why not follow me!? 🤷🏻‍♀️
