I grew up in the western foothills/southern piedmont of NC. As soon as I saw the news of Helene, I knew the devastation in these small towns just to our north was inevitable. This is the one of the best pieces of journalism I have read in recent memory. incredible, heartbreaking stories. read this.

As Hurricane Helene barreled toward Yancey County in North Carolina, the predictions were grim.

But there were no evacuation orders, even for the people living in homes along vulnerable rivers and creeks.

EMA research friends, I recall seeing some #discourse on here about slidey bars for response options resulting in more variability for frequency items in daily surveys. Did I dream this in my head? Can someone send link if I didn’t imagine this?

it's particularly cruel to be cancelling training series grants from NIH. Those training years were some of my most uncertain, and the training grants (F, K series) provided stable funding at the time. We will be losing tremendous scholars because of this.

Conversion therapy is ineffective, dangerous, and linked with suicide attempts. Don’t ever let them tell you otherwise.

And if sometimes the primal scream needs to dominate…that’s fine. It’s fine. 🫠

Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat. If you need to mix in a primal scream from time to time, that’s okay too. Seems fitting.

I grew up in rural North Carolina and am a first generation college student. I attended UNC Chapel Hill as an undergraduate, and I just received my letter confirming my tenure at UNC. Surreal is putting it mildly. I am honored and humbled and determined to be a good steward of science.
