Earlier this fall, OpenStax: Lifespan Development launched. This is a free, OER textbook. I'm proud to have contributed to chapters 4, 6, and 8. It aims to help reframe #devpsyc with a more inclusive, and contemporary voice, and to help reduce book prices.

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.
