14-16 year olds can now work overnight shifts in Florida, with 16 year olds being able to do so on school nights. Its hard to believe that parents would vote for a guy who strips away their children's education and puts them in full time work conditions.

@amyfettig.bsky.social @anthonyperillo.bsky.social @istudytrust.bsky.social We need to hold institutions accountable. White ppl ignoring police harm->ongoing harm. A small group standing up can make a difference. Powerful ppl try to stay invulnerable, vulnerability gets displaced to ppl w/less power

one of my favorite parts of #APLS2025 so far

BREAKING: Starting at 6 pm today and through tomorrow, the U.S. Department of Education offices and regional offices will be closed “for security reasons.” Multiple sources shared the email to employees — which doesn’t explain more. Do you have info? Let me + @jsmithrichards.bsky.social know.

How can we rebuild trust in psychology, law, and institutions? Join us for the Friday Plenary, where Drs. Fettig, Hamm, Perillo, and Neal will discuss the erosion of public confidence in government and legal systems and ways to restore faith in justice. #TrustInJustice #PsychologyAndLaw #apls2025

I can’t believe this needs to be said. TransGENIC mice are not TransGENDER mice

During Occupy Wall Street in 2011, there was a grassroots campaign to #MoveYourMoney from big banks to credit unions. I heeded the call a few years later, in 2014, moving my money from a corporate bank to a credit union, with zero regrets. Today, I’m still a proud member of a credit union.

Too cool! Can't wait to read!

At least 12 universities now have hiring freezes and nearly 30 have cut PhD admissions this year If you hear of other places you can add them to this google doc:

Re-posting a visualization of indirect cost rates as a pdf to share with others, also added a bit more to explain that by cutting the IDC to 15%, it is likely that Universities will have only 8-9% effective IDC, or even lower. abqresearch.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

Academic Skyers: I am compiling a list of policies and statements from various universities about how they are handling the "pause" in terms of stopping expenditures (or not). Please respond to this post with your institution and materials. THANK YOU!

While NIH’s total spending on research grants grew from $26.3 billion to $43.7 billion between 2013 to 2023, the % spent on women's health dropped from 9.7% to 7.9%. And so we still don't have cures to common conditions like endometriosis. @meredithwadman.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...

my roast includes quite the quote: "Emily doesn't just walk the line of academia; she dances on it, pondering cognitive-affective interactions like they're a performance art piece. Dance those CU traits off, girl!" I guess a dance-based RCT for CU traits to come??? blueskyroast.com/roast/emilyc...

Are callous-unemotional (CU) traits purely affective, or do they also involve cognitive processes? A recent RCT finds CU traits uniquely linked to cognitive-affective interaction difficulties that also associated with antisocial behavior. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Puzzling: conduct problems other-blaming related to later higher callous-unemotional traits. But high self-blame and rumination increases association between CU traits with later conduct problems: tinyurl.com/39e7asmz
