Congratulations to Danny Rahal! Our paper, Positive Well-Being and Dampened Emotional Reactivity to Daily Family Conflict and Family Cohesion was just accepted for publication at Child Development! Whoo-hoo! Please look for this one when it comes out.

Ok, academic folx: I have a question for you. Journal Clubs — can they work? What makes one go well? I’m thinking about starting one, but have never participated in one before. So: format/structure, frequency, etc. advice welcome!!!

Here’s a press release for a cool paper led by Shichen Fang!! Findings underscore the continued need for warm, supportive parenting during young adulthood. https://www.psu.edu/news/health-and-human-development/story/parental-warmth-during-young-adulthood-decreases-rates/

I don’t think I’m that intimidating…..

Hello! I’m new to this platform and excited to connect with others!

I’m out of the office right now, but if you have any questions, my friend here is happy to help. Excuse me while I go for some fish and chips.

Congratulations, @gracemhw! Your article received enough citations to be a #topcitedarticle in @SRAdolescence !

Met with @knelsoncoffey & @johnkcoffey yesterday to talk about the role of the family in youth positive well-being….. still basking in the energy from the wonderful exchange! So glad to work with you!

Lots of academic burnout-themed tweets popping up on here today. ‘Tis that season…. I hope you carve out some time for self-care. Highly recommend a good laugh.

I have three consecutive emails in my inbox requesting reviews from different journals. What do you make of this?

First day of the semester! Mixed emotions about it, but I am thinking of this transitional moment as opportunity to revisit my priorities and align my focus.

I haven’t received any emails today. Am I dead?

I have talked to a handful of people about their emotional reactions when receiving a revise and resubmit and whether this makes them set it down to cool off before starting to revise. Say you got an R&R w/ significant revisions. Do you:

I am looking ahead at summer, wondering just how unrealistic my work goals are. What percent of my goals will I complete?

I would like to do a #MOST. @kguastaferroPhD: sorry, not sorry.

It's been one of those tough weeks at work.... I'm feeling a bit used up. I opened a manuscript draft to close out my week on a meaningful note. First comment bubble from my co-author's revisions? "This is great". I gotta say, I think I really needed that today.

Dear all professional societies, conference organizers, etc.: please stop sending me emails with only the acronym for your society/meeting. Include the name. Otherwise, it’s the “international society for random letters”

The wait is over! @carlie_j_sloan’s paper came out in todays issue! A cool study about how adolescents become sensitized to inter parental conflict: Check it out! https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/fare.12604#.YjJbpgfwR5Y.twitter

Thoughtful about folks who are applying to graduate programs right now, acceptances trickling in, making this big decision. For those looking back on grad school, what factors in your experience made a difference in your success (that, at the time, you didn't know about)?

The other day, I was contacted by an undergraduate student at a different institution. Essentially, they were reaching out to say: "I love the work you do and the job you have, but I'm a first-gen student and I don't know how to get from here to there." Some thoughts....

I just accomplished something in an unexpected hallway conversation. Oh yeah! I forgot how nice it is to be able to bump into colleagues at work.

Just learned that @GeierBrainLab will be the Interim Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research in the College of HHD! So proud of you, Chuck! I remember when we were brand-new assistant professors, just trying to make our way.... Congratulations!

Got a favorite primer on intervention evaluation designs that goes beyond the standard RCT (e.g., discusses hybrid designs)? Looking for a good reading in my grad course....

That feeling when you're two weeks away from submitting your grant, and you get an email with the table of contents for a special issue that just came out on that topic..... please please please don't tell me this project was happening outside of my awareness.....

Hey all: some great news - our paper: "Family Vulnerability and Disruption during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prospective Pathways to Child Maladjustment" was accepted at the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry! Authors: Greg Fosco, Carlie Sloan, Shichen Fang, Mark Feinberg

I'm honored to announce our Special Section in the Journal of Family Psychology is out today: New Conceptualizations and Directions in the Study of Family Context. Wonderful to co-edit this section with @TetiDouglas and Arin Connell.

If triangulating children into parental conflicts is harmful, why does it keep happening? To find out, read our new paper led by @DevinMcCauley5, along with Carlie Sloan and @xmy0704! doi: https://doi.org/10.1037/fam0000785 @PRCPennState @pennstateHDFS @APA_Journals @APA_43

I have a cup of coffee and what I believe is the last draft of my students dissertation in hand. I’m just pausing to acknowledge: this is a moment. Wow. Happy/proud/excited and some sadness.

I am so honored and excited to share that the Family POWER Lab just received notice of funding from the Mental Research Institute to mobile technology-based family strengthening interventions, with @benhanrahan and Carlie Sloan!

Excited to see @KeianaMayfield's work published with @SpringerNature in @JournalCFS. A nice study looking the impact of #adolescents' school day experiences on #family #relationships. Read here: https://rdcu.be/cdb7K
