Thanks Hannah! These points are helpful. Do you ever give your students your LOR to review prior to submission (e.g., for fact checking) or even after submission for reference?

Yes, mostly Ph.D. students applying to their predoctoral clinical internship and undergrads applying to grad school.

Hi #PsychSciSky! As I've been writing letters of rec, I'm curious if folks have tips/advice to share about their process. Is there anything you've found to be especially helpful? Do you ask your student/trainee for feedback, etc.? Would love to hear what you've learned over time!

Excited this one is getting out there! A thread/teaser🧵

I'm reviewing applications to the Clinical Psych Ph.D. program at the University of Louisville this year. Please consider applying if you're interested in studying processes of change ♻️, treatment personalization 🙋🏻, ACT 💪🏼, PBT 📦, OCRDs 💭, and/or digital mental health 📱! More info at poislab.com.

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

I saw a post on Facebook yesterday about a swan frozen to the ice on Reykjavík pond. People were wondering what could be done and there was a comment from this absolute legend pictured below saying: "I am on my way with the necessary gear".

And there is just nothing cooler than people like this.

The basic principle is that reviewers are tired, they're rushed, they're reading your and 10 other grants on top of their normal workload.

A simple thought experiment. Assume your study returns a "null" result. Did you just learn something useful or not? For well-designed studies, the answer to this question is always yes.
