Guo, @johnfranchak.bsky.social et al. (2026) developed a novel video-based ecological momentary assessment for observing infants' home behavior: Infants who could walk independently engaged in more upright postural transitions in their daily lives #DevPsySky #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa...
Kretch et al. (2025): chronological age and overall sitting age but not hands-free sitting age predicted everyday sitting experience; continuous development of sitting skill changes positioning composition of infants' everyday unrestrained floor time #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa...
Around that age our son started referring to things as "ham pink" or "hammish white"
"We're pleased to present this updated org chart that captures our system of governance (which management scientists term “Kafkaesque bureaucracy meets Lord of the Files,” though no one understands these references since we cut our literature requirements)."
I can still imagine the sound of those doors opening on mouse over
This is the same rationale for rejecting AI for legal work. It’s through engaging with the text of the law that the reasoning occurs. You cannot avoid the work.
As we watch all mention of diversity actively get scrubbed from the NIH website in real time it's important to know that, we were not taking over anything, we were just trying to exist.
- Only 2% of NIH R01 grants are awarded to Black investigators.
The goal is total erasure/elimination.
I haven't really used #rstats case_match before, but I think I'll start using it more. It's a nice little time saver and reduces repetition.
We just learned that our insurance is awful. We do not have enough coverage to rebuild and we do not have any coverage at all for temporary housing. So essentially, we have a mortgage and no home. Housing is outrageously expensive in Los Angeles. So I’m bumping this fundraiser again. Please share ❤️

Tip from a journal editor: if you are late on a review, ask for an extension so we know when to expect it and so we can adjust those annoying auto reminders. I almost always would rather have a late review than no review.
Best description of academia I've heard: it's a pie eating contest, where the prize is more pie
I got sick of updating multiple things so my lab website (in Quarto) renders my CV to both html and PDF. Quarto allows multiple output formats in the YAML. I keep my pubs in a csv to pull for a pubs page and the CV so that there's only 1 place to update. Padlab.ucr.edu
Once I had to use Adobe acrobat pro to convert PDF to word for a submission. It worked surprisingly well for a final step but it's not something I'd want to make a habit of. Now I will usually pick RMarkdown or Quarto since they can output to LaTeX PDF or Word from the same source
Dear academics
We could dramatically reduce our administrative workload if we all just agreed not to ask for reference letters until we made our list of finalists.
This is massive collective action problem has already been solved by…
*checks notes*
…every other industry on earth.
Who is for abolishing grad app letters of rec at the point of application? Would it be so bad if letters were requested AFTER candidates were shortlisted? If we do this at UCSD who will join us?
Now out! Jessie Fu led a practical guide for mobile eye tracking. We present approaches across the lifespan, but have good info for work with infants & kids.

I just shared with two fantastic outgoing staff members. One has been running ema studies in my lab for the last two years!
I am looking for a lab manager for the brand-new Emotional Lives lab (starting this Fall) at UC Riverside. Sharing would be much appreciated :) jobsportal.ucr.edu/jobs/33028489
The days of upgradeable RAM!

Science goes brrr
famous moments in psychology / cog-sci as lego sets, a thread.
1. Pavlov's dogs.
this was using formr.org which we found difficult to get working with SMS texting. in current work we're using Expiwell in some projects and homebaked stuff with REDCap in others. i've been meaning to give Inclivio another try, it looks great
excited to share that our paper on 10-13 month olds' everyday body position, restraint, and object holding (measured via EMA) was accepted in developmental psych. the transition to independent walking predicts changes in some activities and not others: padlab.ucr.edu/posts/2023-1....
Come join our fantastic research community at UCRiverside! The Computational Cognitive and Neural Sciences lab is recruiting at all levels. Check out our research at www.ballardlab.org
Do I understand how hashtags work on this website yet? No I don't.
TLDR: I am hiring for a researcher/community-focused role working on two open source projects in psychology!
