Almost every great thing in my life has come through social media: my 3 best friends, my husband, and almost every career opportunity and collaboration. I have no idea what my life would look like if not for social media because it has been so integral to my personal joy and professional success.

Predictable and disturbing new paper out in Psychology of Men and Masculinities: In a synthesis of studies, hegemonic masculinity is associated with the objectification of women and propensity to disseminate nonconsensual intimate images. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-99412-001

Tonight, I made mushroom risotto, drank white wine, and spent the evening listening to Eleri Ward’s acoustic covers of Sondheim’s music… I do believe this is peak living.

Would say intermediate for a psychologist, I guess. Perhaps beginner for a statistician. Have taken many stats classes + psychometrics + SEM, but hoping to learn more about topics like logged-ranked tests, survival analysis curves, etc. Haven’t had to use these in my research so far!

A Just Asking Questions Effect for spreading false information.
This thread is an overview of my lab’s research that I presented at Psychonomics this morning. #psynow24

TLDR: Getting people to generate their own false answers leads them to believe that info. 1/

Would love some recommendations for biostats texts! Especially biostatistics using R. Feeling a little out of my depth with this, but hoping to find a great resource for self-teaching.

My new op-ed with @lkfazio.bsky.social:

Trump sent a 'compact' to our universities. They should reject this devil's bargain.
Any institution that yields to these broad and intrusive demands would forever be subservient to the whims of the government.

My favorite game to play at bars in San Francisco bars is, “Are these two lovers, friends from work, or lovers from work?”

HAHAHHAHA 😂 I love “inner mediocre white dude voice.” I feel compelled to note that he was an aerospace engineer at NASA for a few years, but I appreciate the sentiment, regardless

The best thing about being married to someone who is clueless about the politics and realities of academia is that he is delusionally confident in my ability to do things like get huge grants and get hired at Ivy League schools. He is the antidote to my impostor syndrome.

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, it’s for a position that I really want, so I will probably tank it. Fingers crossed that I can stay calm 😅

I have a first-round tenure-track job interview today (yay!), and I am reminded of my two tenure-track job interviews during the 2020-2021 cycle. When I left the first, I learned that Joe Biden had officially been elected. When I left the second, I learned that the US Capitol had been stormed.
