I’m hiring!! 🎉 Looking for a full-time Lab Manager to help launch the Minds, Experiences, and Language Lab at Stanford.

New in @pnas.org. Preschool teachers were less likely to accept participation attempts by children from working-class backgrounds, regardless of their perceived language level. With a great team: @andreicimpian.bsky.social @sebastiengoudeau.bsky.social & Louise Goupil. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Happy to share "The Dynamics of Caregiver Unpredictability Shape Moment-to-Moment Infant Looking During Dyadic Interaction," out now in Child Development thanks to a large team of people I worked on this with! srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirec...

Over the moon to share that I will be starting my own lab as an Assistant Professor at Stanford GSE this fall, building out the Stanford Center on Early Childhood. Excited does no justice to what I feel—this is a dream job in the place where most of my community is, and that feels most like home.

(IN 1 HOUR): "Applying a critical lens to strengths-based developmental frameworks" with @mellwoodlowe.bsky.social @meriahdejoseph.bsky.social @damcotto.bsky.social Deena presents: "Community perspectives on strengths-based developmental research: A qualitative inquiry" (2/4)

Great conversation about caregiving with Ann-Marie Slaughter on this mornings KQED forum. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a... You can read the special Daedalus issue too here. www.amacad.org/daedalus/soc...

Are you or anyone you know struggling to find and maintain an affordable and reliable childcare arrangement? You're not alone! Read more about it in my newly published paper with Phil Fisher and Sihong Liu! (thread below) doi.org/10.1111/cch....

Disappeared Tufts Human Dev. PhD student Rumesya Ozturk is also a graduate of Teachers College - she’s a dev. psychologist studying children’s media & prosocial development. She also bakes without recipes and binge-watches cartoons. She is our colleague & she was abducted on the street w/ our tax $.

In the midst of … everything, I’m increasingly convinced of the importance of care. It was a pleasure to think through what this means, why it matters — ideas now out in a special issue edited by @alisongopnik.bsky.social, @mlevi.bsky.social, and Zack Ugolnik 🧵 www.amacad.org/daedalus/soc...

New Daedalus issue on the science of caregiving. In our paper, we ask, how might infants experience caregiving? Writing this paper with Christina Steele, @alisongopnik.bsky.social and @rebeccasaxe.bsky.social was incredibly fun. Our paper and the other awesome pieces here: www.amacad.org/daedalus

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

This is not business as usual. It’s not just a change in funding priorities going forward; it is the reneging on funding agreements and is profoundly disruptive for even those grants that will be found to be compliant. Meanwhile, trainees who often live paycheck to paycheck are going unpaid.

It’s extremely worth following up with her brief essay about this very thing. Including her remarks about solutions. “A Few Rules For Predicting The Future by Octavia E. Butler”

Okay, buckle up bsky, it's time for the Tale of the Bunny Paper. Here's the imported thread from twitter where the search all started: bsky.app/profile/bets... (1/n)

Finally read this paper and already know I will be back again and again. So many insights about language and testing and education (in the 60s and now) and also rabbits? And wow what a delight

☀️ New preprint! ☀️ Cognitive tests from 23,000+ participants in 4 datasets show cyclical fluctuations across the calendar year, including a small but replicable “summer slide” where youth show worst performance after school vacation. t.ly/OMzgl #PsychSciSky #CogPsyc #CogDev #devpsy #CogSci Thread /1

In clinical trials of new treatments, when the treatment is clearly and obviously immediately effective it is sometimes considered unethical to continue to withhold it from the control group. Pretty sure we passed that milestone about a decade ago with basic income experiments.
