@qmmmmliu.bsky.social and I just gave a presentation for the UChicago internship program on writing faculty job statements. We talked through what makes them compelling (and what to avoid). Slides are here if interested 👉 osf.io/3skx4/?view_... Thanks to Dr. Shona Vas inviting us!!

Happy #BlackInNeuro Week 2025!!! ❤️🎉 So much has changed over the past 5 years and we’d love to see how you’ve grown! Use the link below to make your own Then & Now post 🥰 #BINW25 #BlackInNeuroRollCall #5YearsOfBIN 🙌🏾 🧠

My husband and I wrangle multi-site datasets with thousands of individuals, organize TAs for college courses with over 700 undergraduates regularly in our jobs, and yet we have once again this morning failed to come up with two matching socks for our toddler.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded. These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

"What does the science say? There is no credible scientific evidence that acetaminophen causes autism or that leucovorin can prevent the disorder. Acetaminophen is safe and recommended for use in pregnancy to treat fever and pain." www.npr.org/sections/sho...

A treasure trove of good info here

It's that time of year again! Thrilled to see so many faculty postings popping up! If you're going on the faculty job market and looking for resources, we have collated what I hope are a number of helpful examples, guides, lists, timelines! www.plasticityinneurodevelopmentlab.com/resourcesfor...

Also having big feelings about these opportunities existing because TWO incredible PINE Lab phd students are set to graduate this year!

Delighted that PINE Lab will be accepting applications for PhD students to start Fall 2026! Please share with applicants looking for developmental & neuroscience programs?

PINE Labees bring such rich skills to bear on science! From making bespoke EEG timing tests (Ana Sobrino), graphic designs (Cassandra Franke), British-Bakeoff level treats (Sarah McCormick) to sewing MR-safe swaddle versions (@emma-margolis.bsky.social)! I am the LUCKIEST PI!

Just sharing a public thank you to the SIPs + PsyArXiv volunteers for maintaining such a successful resource I understand the frustration of those with preprints that were temporarily removed but I think this is a good chance to reflect on the volunteer work of others that we often take for granted

With many postdoc grants like the NSF PRFB, Ford Fellowship, and Hanna H. Gray fellowships disappearing, I am currently looking for grants that could fund incoming postdoctoral scholars. Here is a thread of some of them 🧵

thrilled to share this project over a decade in the making out now in @pnas.org! We show that precocious GABA boosting in neonates by early sevoflurane/propofol anesthetic exposure accelerates visual cortical maturation in human infants www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Hey folks: A little while aback, @jschleiderphd.bsky.social and I created a repository of SOPs to help folks prepare for grad applications. If you'd like to add your SOP, feel free to use this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Of note, mask as you desire as I will be posting them as is.

Looking forward to working with @laurelgd.bsky.social on the program for APA Div 7 (Developmental Psychology)! Here are the highlights for the upcoming meeting!

a humble suggestion to change "Hand Foot Mouth" disease to "Body and Soul" disease because that is a more accurate description of what it affects, at least for the parent 😵‍💫

For ESIs dealing with grants being rescinded: if an investigator’s 1st substantial independent research award is terminated within the first 3 years of the project period (not due to scientific misconduct ) they can request the reinstatement of ESI status grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

On a personal note, excited to share that today I start as an Associate Director for our Institute of Cognitive and Brain Health at @northeasternu.bsky.social!

Once upon a time I couldn't replicate a published finding...and decided to do something about it. Little did I know how long it would take to finish 😭...but here we are. I'm super proud of this paper and grateful to the other 68 (!) authors. ❤️ royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Join us for a discussion during #SIPS2025 Online! Among the topics of #SIPS2025 unconferences, there is something of interest for everyone. Don't take our word for it! Check out the full schedule (buff.ly/oe9xbHp) or the abbreviated list below 👇
