Just heard from someone who had a 1% grant not funded through NIMH. Why? Perhaps no payline for 2026? 2025 all full up? Unclear. But totally bonkers and indicative of the complete gutting of the NIH/NIMH senior and grants processing peeps. The ones who remain are working so hard.

We’re hiring an assistant or associate professor to join our psychology department at the University of Illinois Chicago! We’re a vibrant research-active department in a great city, a diverse institution with a purpose-driven mission, and a fun place to work! #psychjobs uic.csod.com/ux/ats/caree...

#Psychjobs My former institution Colby College is hiring a tenure track in intergroup relations, broadly defined & open to many psych areas (not just social). This is my replacement line. I truly enjoyed my time at Colby and it's a great dept! Happy to answer Qs if I can. apply.interfolio.com/172552

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

About to quit my day job to take up pressure washing junk in my back yard full time…

Do naturalistic emotional facial expressions catch our eye like posed ones? 👀😀😠😐 This was my first, first author paper which was published in Emotion - Kudos have done a wonderful job of helping spread the world to a wider audience! #faces #affectsci 🧵1/ (Pls share!) link.growkudos.com/1dybshxtam8

We got what I believe to be close to a "perfect" NSF score after our first submission--three "Excellent" reviews, highly competitive. The only minor weakness was that we could reduce our budget. It won't be funded. There is no path forward. I'm devastated.

Quite a long read, but super important - recognising the assumptions we make in psych research is something more of us should do🫣 👇 "What's real? A philosophy of science for social psychology." By @lisafeldmanbarrett.com and @jtheriault.bsky.social openpublishing.princeton.edu/read/what-s-...

Extremely disappointing & cowardly. The American Psychological Association is rescinding diversity requirements. Not due to any actual mandate from the federal government, but only because it may *someday* face pressure from the government www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

I mean… Yeah. Yeah they do. For entirely known and warned-about reasons. Yes. www.science.org/content/arti...

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Conservatives: “There isn’t enough scientific evidence for trans care, so we must ban it.” Trans people: “…” Conservatives: “Also we’re banning research.”

Someone is going to write a piece about how that executive order claims it’s defending women but now the National Science Foundation is shuttering programs that serve women and trying to cancel grants that mention women, right? 🧪

Good news folks! I was complaining to my son about the CDC guidance disappearing and he said “the internet is forever” and told me about the nonprofit archive.org. You can just plug in popular web pages in their “wayback machine” and see what was on the pages in the past. 🤓 (Fuck Trump.)

Fascinating paper from Roddy Roediger on the fuzzy boundary btwn cognitive and social psychology. As someone who now finds herself living on that boundary it was cool to realize that my undergraduate research mentor lived there too. 1/ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
