I made an event timeline to try to make sense of all the federal overreach at @georgemasonu.bsky.social and whoo boy. When you lay it out like this, the executive over reach comes into focus. open.substack.com/pub/misofact...

Authoritarians are attacking universities. Here's how it's going at one public school.

Psychologists & related fields: what is a big methods question that you believe remains somewhat unanswered & that you'd love to see adressed? There may be an opportunity for a large-scale meta-science project with many teams trying to figure out a question.

Any thoughts welcome! #psychscisky

CBO now says there will be 10m more uninsured from the “OBBB.” But the estimate of 4.2m uninsured from the enhanced ACA tax credits expiring at the end of the year stands. So we are looking at 14+ million more uninsured over 10 years unless that changes.

It's not about writing, but before my defense, my mentor reminded me that no one on my committee knew more about my project than me. When they ask questions, it's more to understand your thought process or out of a genuine curiosity. They want you to pass! That was a big confidence boost. Good Luck!

I appreciate, "A PhD is marathon, not a sprint," but it's not a race at all.

To me, a PhD is a hike (with no trails) up a tall mountain in the distance. The end goal is clear, but the journey is long, dynamic, unique, entirely your own, and itself more important than any milestone.

What would it take to get #Pubmed to stop linking to #APA Psychnet and instead link to, oh IDK, the actual publisher's site where the paper is published? Talk about barriers to accessing science...APA Psychnet is so unnecessary.

Today our @unm.edu @casaa.bsky.social T32 training grant is no longer funded. We are waiting for our renewal that is pending. I spent most of yesterday crying with worry about how I will support our amazing trainees. Today I celebrate them and the joy of seeing them present at CPDD and RSA. 🧵
