An early career research award is always meaningful, but when it comes from an organization you’ve appreciated and admired for over a decade, it’s EXTRA special! Thank you @apadivision45.bsky.social for this honor ❤️!

Linked in really nailed it 😂. “Bourbon educator” feels like a very reasonable next step.

Shared the APA keynote stage with @drnataliews.bsky.social which is something I never imagined doing, but it turned out to be unforgettable! We told the story of how a White ally’s Facebook rant led us to see how therapy can mobilize anti-racism action which inspired our book, Beyond Fragility.

Being in community with like-minded humans, particularly during these dark times, is so meaningful ❤️.

So grateful to have had the opportunity to moderate this discussion with such insightful, funny, and wise panelists! Thank you to the audience for your attention, engagement, and questions! @apadivision45.bsky.social thanks for having us!

Honored to have been a part of this panel, “Conversation with Div 45 Members-at-Large on Leading Radically with Resistance and Liberation” with Drs. Juan Pantoja-Patiño and Ayli Carrero Pinedo moderated by the lovely Dr. Fred Millán! @apadivision45.bsky.social

Thank you Drs. Al-Dajani, Atari-Khan, Salim, @yaramekawi.bsky.social & @drgigiawad.bsky.social for modeling what it means to name & speak out against antiPalestinian racism. We can’t afford to be quiet about genocide & ongoing dehumanization. Excellent @apadivision45.bsky.social panel discussion

An afternoon panel entitled, “Under a Microscope Yet out of Focus: On Being Pro-Palestine” Chair: Nadia Al-Dajani Panelists: @yaramekawi.bsky.social, Rawan Atari-Khan, Rouan Salim, & @drgigiawad.bsky.social

A real “it takes a village” manuscript! What started as a class paper turned into a 10 year journey and I’m so glad this manuscript finally gets to see the light of day!

Join the most wonderful group of academic mama panelists for a discussion on academic motherhood at the @apadivision45.bsky.social research conference in Ann Arbor next week! See you on Friday at 1:30-4pm. @drscarter.bsky.social @nathaliephd.bsky.social

The best Mother’s Day gift ever 💐? Officially winding down my pumping journey!!! While my nursing end date is still TBD, I am so happy to finally be on the other side of this journey. Shout out to all the academic mamas out there doing this part time job on top of a full time one 💪!

Business idea: a website that automatically aggregates manuscript reviews across all journals into an overarching “to do” list. As soon as you press “accept,” the review gets populated in your list. Does this already exist?! I manually track with a spreadsheet but would be nice to automate!

“Moderate or higher levels of anxiety and depression were reported by 79.3% and 84.5%, respectively […] symptomatic PTSD was 67.8% when defined as meeting the DSM-5 criteria for PTSD and having a PCL-5 score ≥ 23, and 88.2% based on the latter criterion alone.” journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

My number one piece of parenting advice? Choose just one type + color of socks and buy 25+ pairs. These poor things will likely never find their sole mates!

🧵Yesterday, I received notice that my #NIH grant, on the social environment, lifecourse, epigenetics & #birthoutcomes in Black families, was terminated. This grant represented a critical effort to address the ⬆️ rates of maternal & infant mortality in the US, particularly among Black mothers & babies

All the talk about how to combat misinformation online often leaves out a core problem: misinformation is free, real journalism often isn't. Proud that @freedom.press is partnering with @wired.com to do something about that. And shoutout to @404media.co and any other outlets also doing this.

Truly heartbreaking.

Today I stood up for science by calling the Kentucky legislative line and asking the Senate Education Committee to oppose HB 4 (anti-DEI) and HB 424 (anti-tenure). They’re meeting TODAY at 3 pm. Call, call, call! #StandUpForScience

So excited for my fave conference!

Proud to see fellow psychologist @eruss.bsky.social speaking up against anti DEI legislation! Sorry that the majority of the legislators seemed to completely tune out the valid concerns brought up by members of the KY community…

As a former NIH K & CDC MARI* awardee whose work focused on Black and Latina cis and trans women w/ or placed @ risk for HIV, what is happening will disproportionately impact those of us who are already underrepresented in research because we tend to be more likely to do health equity research.

Measuring belief systems for (arguably) the first time at the individual level of analysis, we find that identity based elements are more central to belief systems and more central elements are more stable over time. Come see our poster at 12:30 today at #SPSP2025 to learn more!

Howard University is now a R1 university, the first HBCU with a research one designation. H-U definitely knows!

Stress doodling my way through 2025!

Politicians who moralise about “protecting kids” from “wokeness” are usually the most dangerous to them. They obsess about children “being corrupted” while pursuing policies to deny health care to trans kids, end public services for poor kids, and deport refugee kids. It’s sickeningly disingenuous.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! ✨ They’ll never be able to take away the impact and contributions of Black scientists, no matter how hard they try. So each week this month, I’ll be highlighting a few #BlackInNeuro scientists for you to learn about, celebrate their work, & follow 👩🏾‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬

Prepping a ‘woke’ ‘gender ideology’ guest lecture. Regardless of what tyrants say: (1) there are way more than two genders; (2) eating disorders impact all genders; (3) systems of oppression place LBGTQ+ folks at higher risk for eating disorders; (1/2)

Clearly I'm going to overuse this emoji in the next four years but 😲😲😲

Phew! Glad I don’t have to find an alternative lab snacks supplier.

I have seen data on the success of "diversity" and cluster hires, but is anyone aware of larger-scale studies about these practices? Successes, pitfalls, etc.? Also, can anyone recommend papers on the factors that predict faculty success (e.g., career mentoring, an intellectual community)?

🚨Exciting postdoc opportunity!🚨 Applications are now open for the Susan Nolen-Hoeksema postdoctoral fellowship at Yale. More information & application: apply.interfolio.com/160599 Please share widely!

Finally have caught up with emails! Unless it’s about a paper acceptance or an R&R, my inbox is closed until January 😂!

Hey folks, I was asked to share the interview participant call for this study about Black & Latinx disabled folks who have given birth in the past ten years. Please participate or reshare if you’re not eligible.

We are holding a webinar on interviewing for PhD programs in counseling psychology on Wednesday, December 18th from 6-7:30pm Eastern. Registration link: luc.zoom.us/meeting/regi... @aperezrojas.bsky.social please help me share this since I don't know what I am doing on this app.

Israel’s war in Gaza amounts to genocide, Amnesty International report finds

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, the only message I have is: It's not enough to remember us, you need to support us while we're still here.

Please spread the word about this webinar I'm putting together on short notice to address an urgent need. Registrants get access to recording so you don't need to attend live. Register: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #trans #mentalhealth #election #Trump #stress #transgender #nonbinary #lgbtq

Ok, #addictionsci 🛟, this seems like a better place to share a new article. This is one I’m particularly proud of that represents a new direction I hope to take my lab in: characterizing & mitigating the impact of *racialized* substance use stigma.

I made a feed for #ABCT2024 ! If you want everything anyone posts about ABCT, it should show up there. You can click "pin to home" and get to ABCT posts easily. If you check out your settings you can even mix your feeds into your main timeline. bsky.app/profile/drro... @abctnow.bsky.social
