Only two days left to submit your abstract for this year's @mathpsych.org meeting. Some things to consider:
1. The conference is in Canada.
2. If you cannot attend in person, there is a virtual track. Consider submitting there! You can pick the track during the submission process.
See you there!

First time ever that I understood the utility of a video abstract. Check out Veronika! 🐮

I have been a part of five psychology/public health departments over the years. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself — when I was really struggling and unhappy and felt like I didn’t belong in the field at all — how different your social experience can be from institution to institution.
