Newly accepted in PSPB! We examined whether Asian and Black Americans perceived one another through a zero-sum lens. Inspired by the SCOTUS affirmative action decisions, I wanted to know if Asians thought they were losing to Black people and how this mindset affects coalition osf.io/preprints/ps...

My new piece in Nature Human Behavior: "We need to fight for the next generation of US researchers" All trainees need 3 things to thrive. In the US, those things have been ripped away. Let's brainstorm and fight to get them back. (share link): www.nature.com/articles/s41...

😂Every once in a while, I get a student who says Beefaroni instead of Bonferroni on an assignment and it never fails to make my entire week so much better #teachstats #PsychSciSky

If you haven't in a bit, check on your early career researchers with temporary appointments (e.g., postdocs). It's rough out here right now #SocialPsych #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky

My approach to social media these days is remarkably similar to my approach to dating apps: how many minutes can I scroll through without losing hope for society? (The answer in both cases is usually less than 5 minutes...) 🙃

So excited and energized about research following #SPSP2025 but also in need of 2-3 days of post-conference recovery sleep 😂

If you weren't able to make it to the session and/or still have burning questions, feel free to reach out via Whova, email, or bluesky!

Are you an early career member searching for some solidarity and/or a graduate student tentatively looking ahead to the academic job market? Come talk to scholars in various early career roles at 1:45 to hear their experiences and ask questions! #SPSP2025

Has anyone wandered over to #SPSP2025 from the Hyatt regency this morning? Wondering how the sidewalks are in terms of having been treated for snow 👀

What I tell myself between conferences: "you're being dramatic, they are not that exhausting" What I tell myself at conferences: "I'm sorry for all of the times I told you that you were exaggerating. This is exactly as exhausting as you remembered" Still a great day at #SPSP2025

So in addition to the many reasons to be angry/stressed about funding freezes... Thoughts on how nervous people looking for postdoc positions this year need to be about the availability of those positions?

Currently putting together SRCD SECC Conversation Hour "Building Your Career: Postdoc and Academic Job Market Insights" to take place during the conference. Who has been on the postdoc and/or job market **this** year and can talk about their experiences and will be at the SRCD conference?

@tvescio.bsky.social (Terri Vescio) now on Bluesky! Give her a follow. She does great #PrejudiceResearch. Lately I've really been into her work on masculinity, very interesting stuff.
