“When the Knicks won the NBA Cup this season, Brunson devised a plan to make sure that the peripheral people in the Knicks organization—medical staff, locker-room attendants, etc.—received a portion of the money that the players get for winning the in-season tournament. This is who Brunson is.” 🎁

“It is different because New York’s mass unifying events tend to imply unbearable tragedy: 9/11, Sandy, Covid. Maybe the disorientation of this championship run was that shared experiences in the city were allowed to be good, gleeful, uncomplicated.“

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆 New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!

HISTORY.

Love this for Jalen. They doubted him so bad. And KAT. Of all the Knicks teams of my lifetime, I love this for THIS team. 💙🧡

My boys! They did it!!! FINALLY!

Your New York Knicks just defeated the San Antonio Spurs and the refs for the largest comeback in NBA finals history!!! LET'S GO KNICKS!!! 🧡💙🧡💙

OG Anunoby they will write stories about you

Another handful of sand in the gears: Researchers cannot serve on a panel *at all* if anyone from their institution has submitted to that panel. Recusing themselves for the proposal itself is no longer sufficient. This is needless, but will certainly slow things up even further.

this is the closest I've seen in a long time to that scene in movies where everyone is gathered around an outdoor TV watching some momentous event, it is beautiful. i believe in magic again

Next stop 34th Street

Welp, got all my steps for the day in pacing back and forth 🔵🟠

Excited to share that I'll be giving a keynote at IMBES in September. The talk asks a simple question: Are we measuring children's cognition, or the interaction between cognition and context? Looking forward to sharing (and hopefully generating discussion) in San Diego.

We paint a subway station in New York Knicks colors…the Knicks win Game 1 of the finals…you love to see it. Let's go Knicks!

This is sad and shocking news - Raúl always worked tirelessly to help early career researchers navigate the complexities of academia, and was a generous and selfless advocate for stronger standards in pedagogy and higher education access. We need more Raúls in academia. Sincere condolences

Attending the 102nd commencement at Queens College, a senior college of the City University of New York, the largest urban public university in the nation. Three cheers for the power and promise of public education! 🎉 Congrats to the 2026 graduates! 🥳

Wow. The scene outside the Garden right now.

We just got approved to hire a teaching professor in Quantitative Methods! This is the *very* rare tenure track teaching position at Berkeley. I'll be chairing the search committee. Official job ad coming later this summer!

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

One year later - my reflections on what's happened to US science since the National Science Foundation grant terminations last year. The problem of misinformation isn't going away, but our ability to study and understand it is under attack. 1/ 🧪 www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

Very proud of Abigail! She’s a natural born presenter and spoke about our project and her contributions with ease 🥳

Today! Join us for the Latinx Research Symposium where my mentee Abigail Villa (Education Sciences major) and I will presenting research from our executive function and context study.

Last day of our Cultivating Cognitive Development class with treats 🍩🥐 🧋 thank you all for a wonderful, intellectually stimulating semester.

A bit late but I've been reappointed after passing my 4th year review! 2 reviews down, 1 to go. This means that in fall I'll be on something of a pre-tenure sabbatical. If your department is looking for fall speakers & you think my work might be of interest, I'd welcome opportunities to give talks.
