Post a pic you took with no context to bring some zen to the timeline

We have a paper that was returned because the citations were incorrect - because we cited CDC data that are no longer on the website. How are others handling this? Are you using extracted/archived data? How are you citing it? #DevelopmentalPsychology #psychology #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky

Especially in 2025? #AcademicSky #devpsysky #SexEducation
