Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Are you applying to a PhD in Clinical or Counseling Psychology? Here is a list of mentors who are taking students. Please circulate widely (and on X) so all applicants can benefit 😀. If you are mentoring please do add your name! #clinicalpsychology @abctnow.bsky.social

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

My website is official 🙌 Excited to share that I am interested in reviewing applications for Harvard’s Clinical Science PhD program this fall as I look for the first student to join my lab! I appreciate it if you can share with your network :) psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/mark-...

Hi all! It looks like I *will* be able to take a new student this year! If you are interested in perinatal mental health, cognitive bias, and/or cats, apply to work with me at UVM! :)

After ruling, with anger in his voice, Judge Young: "This represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so."

From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered. Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance.

Opinion piece by @cdelawalla.bsky.social, Nobel laureates Victor Ambrose, Carol Greider et al. The EO called "Restoring Gold Science" has a plan for enshittification of science; political loyalists have power over experts & punish those who don't fall in line.🧪 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈 Under Trump, research using terms like “Trans,” “LGBTQ,” & “Gender identity” is being defunded. These terms reflect real people who deserve science that includes them. Stand with us to protect LGBTQ+ science from political erasure. grant-watch.us/nih-data.html @rcmedphys.bsky.social

I had a heartbreaking conversation with a talented trainee who spent 1 month on their Hanna Gray application (only have that program canceled after submission). Followed by a pep talk. And an insightful brainstorm around the Q: how can we (professors) do better for trainees in uncertain times?

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Happy Mother’s Day to the feisty science moms out there. You’re brilliant! You balance and manage SO MUCH. You bring excellence, creativity, innovation, and humanity to the world. If I hadn’t seen others having families AND doing science, I wouldn’t have realized I could do it, too. Thank you ❤️

I am teaching my phd writing workshop course this quarter, question: are there any words/phrases said to you by an advisor/mentor that stuck with you, were memorable, or particularly helpful? If so please reply below!

SO EXCITED to share that my triplets got amazing internships this cycle: Kaley Potter is going to MDC: Los Angeles! Grace Wheeler is going to the Minneapolis VA! Anishka Jean is going to Brown! & extra congrats to Kaley, who had to deal with the BOP hiring freeze, but still got a BOP internship!

Backyard birds! A great blue heron and a hawk (i think)! Also, i should not consider a career as a nature photographer.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Every day is a good day to fight for trans rights.

my NIH grant was terminated today - the grant that pays my rent and my bills and my loans and my health insurance - because I study how to improve the lives and wellbeing of queer people #episky #medsky

1/x My NIH grant that would collect data to help *prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviors* among LGBTQ+ people was terminated today, along with many other LGBTQ+ focused grants. These terminations make no sense scientifically. Here's why:

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Share your story. Our representative said the house is struggling to know what grants have been canceled and that if we have a canceled grant to share it with them along with the fall out so they can use it to try to get them restored. litigationandresponse.house.gov

We've been tracking unlawful NIH grant terminations for 3 weeks. Spread the word👇! Fellow PIs: what can you do upon termination? ✅ Email PO + document questions ✅ Submit FOIA ✅ Advocate to your OCG/OSP for appeal + litigation ✅ Consider outside litigation ✅ Donate to state AGs + legal orgs 1/🧵

Also if you just got your loans forgiven by the Biden administration? You need to PRINT that notice out. I mean MULTIPLE copies. Do not put ANYTHING past this administration.

GET IN, DORKS! IT’S TIME TO MAKE A FUSS!!!

“The law of gravity works for you, regardless of who you voted for,” @cdelawalla.bsky.social said. If you used your cellphone today, or knew the name of a bird outside your window or brushed your teeth last night, she added, “it’s because of a scientist.” Thanks for your vision. #standupforscience

What are you doing to hold on to hope?

Anybody have class slides focused on Empirically Supported Treatments that they would be willing to share?

In 1980, a bipartisan Congress passed the Science and Engineering Equal Opportunities Act of 1980, which authorized the National Science Foundation “to promote the full use of human resources in science and technology through a comprehensive & continuing program to increase substantially

Not all people who make a suicide attempt have a psychiatric diagnosis www.nationalelfservice.net/mental-healt... Focusing suicide prevention efforts only on those who have previously experienced a psychiatric disorder may miss around 1 in 5 people who go on to attempt suicide.

I have never been prouder as a teacher. A student just came up to me to tell me she loved my nail polish.💅

“The professors are the enemy” This is correct. We professors are the enemy of fascism because we create and spread knowledge for social good, countering the lies propagated by authoritarian ideologues like Mr. Vance. We will always be the enemy of autocracy.
