If you started a new TV show that you know I’d love, we will absolutely chat about it.

If you went on a trip or made art, I expect to see some photos.

If you are looking for a reminder of what wonderful things I appreciated about you, I’m here for it.

If you have personal and professional news to share, I want to hear it and celebrate with you.

If you are working on a project and could use some consultation from an outsider perspective to get unstuck, I’m here.

If I can help promote what you are doing, I’ll do my best.

Everyone should hear this: it is ALWAYS a privilege and a treat for professors to hear from former students and trainees. I love to hear what you have been up to since you were in my lab, class, whatever.

The fact that you use fancy words like “thrice” indicates success is on the horizon.

Credible research relies on transparency, independent verification (reviewers!) + inclusivity. Yet multicultural scholars may face barriers and see facilitators to use open science differently, don’t always get review training and experiences. Join us in understanding and changing these!

We want to highlight a professional development opportunity on conducting peer reviews aiming toward advanced doctoral students and early career professonals.

Thrilled to guest edit this special section in CDEMP: Transparency, Credibility, and Accountability: Open Science as Psychological Inquiry in Ethnic Minority and Multicultural Psychology Research.

Would love to see LOI from diverse scholars!

My grad school advisor influenced my writing a lot. That includes using em dashes. Generative AI has shamed me for using em dashes—an unfortunate reality in which we live.

I agree with this sentiment on some levels, but we also have written similar conclusion and reviewers noted “please tone that down, much more research is needed.” 🤷‍♀️

Gosh, where did the time go?!???!?! It was just yesterday when you were at Smith, then CPA/RSA, then RSMj. Good luck tmr!

Are YOU applying this year??

Busy week @adapt206.bsky.social! 3 abstracts from @barsstudy.bsky.social accepted for @cpddorg.bsky.social, led by (postbac) trainees who’d been in the lab for 1+yr. 13 seniors/juniors new to the lab submitted 3 abstracts for UW’s Undergrad Research Symposium. That’s what I call a training pipeline!

My lab submitted 6 conference proposals this week featuring 7 undergrad, postbac, masters, and predoc trainees. I think that’s a pretty good end to an academic term.

Most recent and a new auto-correct fail (caught in time before submission!): “reproducibility” and “reproductivity”…

Today hits particularly hard. Gotta find ways to keep going ... Like, finding fulfillment in supporting (former) students’ pursuits for graduate training because they will carry on the mission despite challenges… or keep the science going with any resources left because it’s the right thing to do.

Research is… hard work that is worth doing.

Someone found our free-access postprint from a few years ago, before I moved institutions, found my new email and asked me for materials used in said study. I went to the postprint linked to the project w/ materials, shared link to said materials and open-access published paper. All in 2 minutes.

Why I engage in “open science”? Transparency for myself and promotion of collective knowledge production. Here’s one example…

an owl is sitting on a wall with its eyes closed and a quote that says `` hope is the thing with feathers '' . ALT: an owl is sitting on a wall with its eyes closed and a quote that says `` hope is the thing with feathers '' .

Fun to listen to @edyong209.bsky.social talk about discovering joy, cultivating a sense of wonder and stillness, building community, and instilling hope despite challenges—thru birding.

What do others do for these things? Mine had been kickboxing, rockclimbing, and recently pottery.

We wanted to share some insights from what we’ve learned so far through our participants’ experiences.
These experiences help us recognize important patterns and identify resources that support well-being.

Representation in research matters and this is just the beginning of what we’re uncovering.

The Black Adult Resilience Study (BARS) is committed to building genuine trust through transparency, collaboration, and respect. Here are some current findings we've heard from our participants.

Participants from the Black community show up for research that they find personally and culturally relevant. An infographic on our ongoing data collection!
