I will be reviewing graduate student applications in the Social Psychology Area at Miami University for the 2025–2026 application cycle (Ph.D. start date: Fall 2026).

Congratulations!!! Looking forward to seeing the results of this important work.

I keep going back to this exchange, and I think it’s relevant, here. It is inconceivable to people with power that anyone would be willing to fight and die for something when there’s no guarantee of winning.

📚A very dreamy canvas to finish while at Princeton! I had a lot of fun playing with decorative stitches on this one.

The 3 weeks flew by (entirely too much fun!) so I’m glad I made time to explore campus with my picnic blanket to find some calm spots to sit, stitch, and reflect on this opportunity.

Proud mentee moment for the @logicemotionlab.bsky.social! Awesome seeing all of @eriknook.bsky.social’s fascinating research over the years woven beautifully together in this talk. And so amazing to see him honored with the SRP ✨Early Career Award!! ✨👏
