Diversity, equity, and inclusion are ideals that span the globe, but their implementation is anything but uniform, as scholars from Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States show. #DEI #APS25DC

And save the dates for our 2026 Annual Convention in Barcelona, Spain, May 28-30, 2026!
At the APS Annual Convention, scientists shared their concerns about the challenges facing #psychologicalscience amidst a tide of funding stoppages and worrisome technological changes. #APS25DC
Groundbreaking research on the mechanisms of emotional memory and brain plasticity, the dynamics of collective cognition, and psychological science’s intersection with artificial intelligence (AI) were all on display at the APS Annual Convention in May. #APS25DC
The thought bubble says “statistically significant” but the poster shows posterior probability distributions. Either way, both frequentists & Bayesians can agree that @rachaelkee.bsky.social did a great job presenting the lab’s work on the negativity bias at #APS25DC. Way to go Rachael!

Wishing I was back at #APS25DC @psychscience.bsky.social! Had so much fun talking all things psych science, and sharing our drift diffusion modeling projects showing preferential evidence accumulation for negative news headlines in both a nationally representative sample and fMRI study. 📰🧠
Honored to have our Program Officer, Dr. Rebecca Pasillas, discuss the power of philanthropy in fueling psychological science at #APS25DC! ✨
I always enjoy the @psychscience.bsky.social conference, and this year’s #APS25DC was no exception! It was great to reconnect & share ideas with colleagues from around the world. Hope to do it again in Barcelona next year! @chronakigeorgia.bsky.social @kat-roto.bsky.social @danielnault.bsky.social
I forgot how close the NMAAHC was to the Washington Memorial. Its architecture and layout are so powerful, starting chronologically on the 3rd & lowest underground level and working your way up (literally) to today.
*Spoiler*: Coming out of the dark, narrow, and winding corridors of pre-1776 slavery into this massive golden text was such an awesome design.
The infographics are incredibly informative! I at least take our current racial definitions for granted but these graphics show how they’ve twisted and turned over the years, usually based on legal definitions, to suit some political purpose or another and just get reified through enforcement and repetition.
A hand-printed, portable copy of the Emancipation Proclamation showing just how powerful it was and how people got creative to share it.
The other bright spot of #APS25DC was getting to visit the mind-blowing & powerful National Museum of African American History & Culture. It seemed timely and I hadn’t been!
They do an amazing job highlighting how much of the US was built by slaves & how our current ideas of race developed. 💯
Great talk by Prof Stephen Hinshaw on child trauma and attempted suicide in females with ADHD #APS25DC @psychscience.bsky.social highlighting the role of context and heritable risk
Sonya Mishra shows how, when women’s gains are framed as increasing their power (control of resources), men are less likely to support them & more likely to worry they’ll be disadvantaged compared to when women’s gains are framed as increasing their status. Women show no differences. 🚻 #APS25DC
Thank you for attending #APS25DC, we hope you had a great time! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and safe travels!

Excited to present my work this morning at #APS25DC. Stop on by if you are interested. And thanks to @katiew.bsky.social for giving me a lead on a usable QR code generator.
Reminder: Submitted Symposia begins at 9:00 AM this morning! Check the APS mobile app for locations. #APS25DC
Leaving #APS25DC energized and hopeful. Thank you all for sharing your ideas and helping me feel brave to share mine 😊 let’s keep the dialogue going! What’s something that struck you, puzzled you, challenged the way you think, or inspired you?
Start Sunday with coffee at 8:30AM and then join your colleagues for Poster Session X beginning at 9:00 AM in the APS Exhibit Hall #APS25DC
Finally attended my first ever conference as a post-bacc researcher and presented my work on how different forms of social support buffer depression symptoms in those exposed to FOV. I'm immensely grateful for my PI's incredible mentorship throughout this process! #APS25DC @meaganbrem.bsky.social
To better communicate science, we should:
Use appropriate metaphors, analogies, & examples
Talk in narratives
Remember we read 3 words, then, if interesting, 30 words, then, if still intrigued, 300 words
Start with the main point ➡️ narrative ➡️ takeaway point #APS25DC
At #APS25DC
Join your colleagues for our final reception in the Heights Courtyard at 7:30 pm. Check out the APS games corner for a code to the APS Scavenger Hunt! Happy playing! #APS25DC
