Feeling very bamboozled by the complexity of applying for my initial psychology license across different states. It really doesn't need to be this hard

story of my life 😅

Cutting from a manuscript to meet journal word limits can be such a soul-crushing task. All of these words are my babies 😭

We need broad education rich in the humanities AND the sciences for EVERYBODY. We should be pushing that in our vision for the future or whatever exists of it moving forward. Stop letting the tech bros bully you out of your intellectual rights or your civil ones for that matter.

This is what we are robbing our own students of when we are pushing ai in the classroom. What have allowed conservatives to rob young students of. We are trying to fill the deficits of a lack of social science education with ai but it’s only going to make the problem worse.

In cognitive science, sociology and psychology, I learned about things like societal structures, how the brain/mind works, all the years and different psychological theories etc. These are the things that we lose and have lost when the social sciences are systematically unfounded.

I want to give a special shoutout to @library.cmu.edu for allowing me to maintain alumni access. If my current institutions don't have access to certain articles/databases, I know I could always count on you 😘

Getting an R&R on a manuscript is always nice when the reviewer feedback is positive with very helpful suggestions to strengthen it 😊

Federal research funding cut? Don’t stop now. Two quick-response grants can help: Spencer Foundation – bridge funding for education researchers: bit.ly/4jvA7oi RWJF – racial & Indigenous health equity research support: bit.ly/44VUJ4D #SRCD #ChildDevelopment

A student interaction yesterday made me consider the fact that in all the talk of why Black boys don’t go to college this week, I didn’t see anyone asking what those college classrooms are missing because Black boys aren’t in them. The negative impact of the systemic failure is not one-sided.

Happy #APPIC Match Day to all the trainees who matched in phase 2! It’s important to note over half of P2 applicants did not secure an internship, let alone an APA accredited spot, and truly speaks to the major problems with the current APPIC system that need to be improved for trainees.

Me in the national security group chat:

i'm sorry if you're going on #TheBachelor and walking in high heels, we need to do some sprints in heels before coming on the show. mama let's practice 😬

It’s me. I am buzzing 🐝

“BUt tHaT’s NoT tHe LaWwwW” they broke the law babe, idk what to tell you

Two years ago I did not match in #APPIC Phase I at the end of an already sucky week. If you're looking for someone's experience, I shared mine. Not matching brings up a lot of feelings and potentially doubt. I got through the process knowing that I was not alone. youtu.be/e2qq16xUGns

If you don’t match to an #APPIC internship today and are wondering what next, join us Monday evening to get some tips about how to move forward with the process in Phase 2 and beyond. This is not the end! #clinicalpsychology

Happy APPIC Match Day to those who celebrate! For some of you, this email is extremely exciting and you are planning on working in an environment of your dreams For others, you feel defeated and overwhelmed. Thoughts about not being good enough. Whichever group you are in, YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH!

Happy APPIC Match Day! Whether you’re feeling excited, disappointed, or a mix of both, I hope you take some time to celebrate all of your hard work and this next chapter in your PhD journey! 🥳

The beauty of that half time show is that while everyone is trying to erase us, we are still making culture. We are the culture. We built it. Remember that.

me omw to ruin someone’s whole week

Those boot cut jeans that Kendrick has on are the Levi's that Beyoncé is singing about

Me during Not Like Us

My mom calls me after the halftime show and was like “OK. I need you to explain to me the Kendrick versus Drake beef.” I have never locked in so much 😂😂

Can you imagine your ex girlfriend cripwalking during the Super Bowl halftime show to the most popular diss song about you? Ouch.

Today our #BlackMagicalHistory spotlight is pointed toward academia. Henry Louis Gates has made a career of bringing the contributions of Black America to the forefront. Have you been watching his @pbs.org The Great Migration docuseries? What Black academic inspires you?

summation: do not credit your enemy with a level of competence he has not demonstrated

Just had a flashback to Billy Cundiff's missed field goal in 2012 😭

Grandma: Bri Bri how many tattoos do you have?! Me: …7 Grandma: ok but you’re not getting anymore Me: …🧍🏽‍♀️👀

When ResearchGate notifies you that someone you cited in your dissertation has accessed/“read” said dissertation 😅

The further away I am from connections in my phd program, the more I find myself scrolling Linkedin to keep up with networks. Like why do I have a Linkedin shortcut on my browser??? 😭

Today in Black History: Shirley Chisholm began her initial term as the first black woman to serve in the US Congress on January 3, 1969.

The thing about “RFK is right about some things” that is bugging aside from everting else everyone has already said is that this is exactly how pseudoscience and other misinformation works. It’s literally a bunch of garbage with a little kernel of truth. By saying he right about x you legitimize

I don't remember the last time I worked on NYE. But I can guarantee you it won't be happening again next year

What the Most Famous Book About Trauma Gets Wrong “The Body Keeps the Score stigmatizes survivors, blames victims and depoliticizes violence. While masquerading as care for survivors, it creates a hierarchy where marginalized victims are even more marginalized” www.motherjones.com/media/2024/1...

Did you know dogs can't operate MRI machines? But catscan.

Blue Ivy joined Beyoncé during her halftime performance of Texas Hold 'Em….iconic 🔥

Beyoncé brings out Tiera Kennedy, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer and Reyna Roberts

It feels so strange and GREAT to be up on a Saturday and not have to study. I got my life back just in time for the holidays!! 🥰

Reviewing a manuscript for a journal, and I fully understand when my advisor would leave “????” next to a section or whole paragraph. Because what even are we talking about sometimes 😅

Passed 🥰

So your apps have been in, you've started to hear back from sites, and maybe you've already started your interviews! A few years ago, some friends joined me to share their tips about preparing for #APPIC interviews. Check out what they had to say! youtu.be/kHABO2bfOMA
