Wishing everyone a peaceful Thanksgiving! Reflecting on gratitude, my family found safety here after fleeing Eastern Europe pogroms a century ago. Not everyone has that security today. From Nov 28 through Dec 2, save 50% on any self-paced course at R for the Rest of Us with code BLACKFRIDAY2025.

One of the things that has been on my to do list for a very long time, is building a gallery of all of the charts I've made across #TidyTuesday, #30DayChartChallenge, #30DayMapChallenge, and other miscellaneous projects 📊 And it's finally here! Link: nrennie.rbind.io/viz-gallery/ #DataViz #RStats

To be effective, data science agents need to be able to read plots reliably. @sara-altman.bsky.social and I wrote about some concerning findings on LLMs' ability to interpret plots when the content contradicts their expectations on the @posit.co blog. posit.co/blog/introdu...

Had the pleasure of organizing a symposium on how the timing of adversity exposure modulates neurodevelopmental outcomes. Such a great line up of speakers 🤩 #ISDP2025 @kieran-od.bsky.social, Lucinda Sisk, Annie Aitken, & @madrelabutd.bsky.social

Excited to share our manuscript about BrainEffeX, a tool for exploring fMRI effect sizes. Includes why we made it, how to use it + contribute, and how we made it. @sneuroble.bsky.social @psychonetrics.bsky.social @alexkfischbach.bsky.social @nichols.bsky.social @dscheinost.bsky.social & MINDS Lab

So excited to present at this conference! First time at San Diego, second time at ISDP🎊 #ISDP2025

Applying to graduate programs in the sciences? 🧬✨ Join us for our upcoming Faculty Panel Discussion to learn the key do’s and don’ts for a competitive application package, directly from university administrators. 📅 October 7th at 11am ET 📍 Register here: www.eventbrite.com/e/faculty-pa...

2nd year grad students are no longer eligible to apply. Currently enrolled grad students must be in their first year, whether in a MS, BS-MS, or Ph.D.

We're hiring! Please share within your networks and reach out with any questions. I love my colleagues and this department.

There is an entire cohort of students who will never have the same opportunities as others because of this last-minute posting.The honorable & sensible thing to do is to announce these criteria to begin NEXT CYCLE and keep the criteria from past years for the applications due in ONE MONTH. FUMING!

Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

Despite the world being on fire and science facing constant hits. I’m grateful to share some good news: I’m officially an Assistant Research Professor! ✨ I've actually been in this role for the past two months or so, but I constantly forget which day it is🤷‍♀️. #thisLatinaisaprof

Please share with anyone who cares about NSF support for graduate students and take 30 seconds to sign and leave a comment. The deadline for the 2025 Graduate Research Fellowship Program is about one month away and literally no one can apply. #NSFGRFP jasonjwilliamsny.github.io/grfp2025/

Has anyone been successful with #GRFP submitting an application using the ABCD or any secondary dataset? There are no explicit no-nos on the website for that, but I haven't seen it in any examples I got access to

A few of my mentees are getting ready to apply for the #GRFP in Clinical Psychology. Does anyone have sample applications they’d be willing to share? #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky

This is a fantastic resource for students applying to clinical/counseling programs this cycle: A list of PIs, organized by areas of research, accepting students! Please share widely! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Extraordinary resource! "Comprehensive recordings from 621,733 neurons in 297 brain areas of 139 mice (12 labs) performing a decision-making task with sensory, motor & cognitive components: a public dataset to understand how computations distributed across & within brain areas drive behaviour."👇🧪

Registration is open for the 10th cohort of R in 3 Months (Sep 25–Dec 18)! Why join: a structured 13-week path to mastering R, real projects on your data, weekly office hours + instructor feedback, and lifetime access to resources. buff.ly/v2xljL9

I'm seeing quite a few developmental jobs at SLACs. I'm happy to chat with anyone who's thinking of applying (or if your students are applying). Doing dev work at a SLAC can be super rewarding but also brings a number of unique challenges.

Postdocs applying for K99s, particularly if it's your last opportunity: DO NOT forget to include a foreign justification document if you have any sort of foreign collaboration. Your application will be withdrawn if you don't have that.

Super interesting new study from @joscelinrocha.com @drkoraly.bsky.social @kabuss.bsky.social V. Lobue, B. Ostland - "Multilevel growth models show that infant neg. affect decreased post COVID onset, contrary to hypotheses." onlinelibrary-wiley-com.proxy.library.georgetown.edu/doi/full/10....

I recently contributed to a story in today's @thehill.com with reporter Lexi Lonas. As part of the conversation on "COVID babies" going to school, we referenced our recent paper with @kabuss.bsky.social Vanessa Lobue @joscelinrocha.com Brendan Ostlund. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

🔧 Giving resourcesdatabase.com a much-needed summer upgrade! Started as a GitHub wiki, then a #Quarto site… & now finally looks how I imagined. Only 50% done, but it's been fun revisiting 6 years' worth of #r resources. Hoping it still helps someone out there. 💛 #openscience #academiclife #rstats
