I don't think we can assign 'well intentioned' to an administration whose entire platform is antithetical to improving mental health.

Let’s not forget that Donald Trump threatened to destroy an entire civilization. We move so quickly through our insane new cycles. But this outrage should be a keeper and not cast quickly to the side because Trump again decided not to make good on an absurd and extreme threat.
Is there a single AI company that isn't engaged in massive amount of theft?

I seriously cannot get over how stupid it is to be cutting back on research right now #ThePoint

Another ~monthly update on the state of the #psychjobs market: more jobs continue to trickle in, though at a decreasing pace. We've nearly hit parity with covid in absolute terms, although the prior year baseline was higher this year than that, so we still see a slightly larger relative decrease.

This 🔄 Review 🔄 highlights behavioral inhibition (BI) & maternal anxiety in infancy as anxiety risk factors; infants w/ BI or maternal stress exposure have altered 🧠 patterns in attention & control systems, predicting anxiety in adolescence

Thanks for clarifying Koraly!
Hi Koraly! Are these Editorial Fellowships open to postdocs to apply to, or do they require an assistant professor or equivalent industry position for eligibility? Thank you!
The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs
My lab has an open post-doc position!
We will begin reviewing applications as they come in.
The post-doc will work with a vibrant research team at Penn State in the Department of Psychology and the Child Study Center.

It probably doesn't help that people in the states are being actively persecuted based on their social media content. 😔
And why some ... big name ... Aussie academics are still exclusively posting on Twitter/X is totally lost on me.
I wish they'd all come over to Bluesky instead. Having to traverse all the 'LinkedIn style' posts on LinkedIn makes me close it every time. It doesn't feel like there is an 'academic LinkedIn' in the way it feels like there is academic Bluesky.
Are there any openings for Australian early-career academics currently working internationally?

🚨New paper🚨
EEG aperiodic slope & offset followed nonlinear trajectories from infancy to middle childhood
🧠 Trajectories varied by brain region & sex
🧩 Maternal anxiety showed age-specific associations with slope; direction varied by developmental stage
srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
all this talk about changes in p-value magnitude being interpreted as an increase in the "quality of evidence" necessitates that i share this. we all should share and actually read this in fact (for starters).
