Has anyone else been having data quality issues with @joinprolific.bsky.social? I typically have had good luck with Prolific but have had to make a lot of exclusions with this recent batch 😮‍💨

Abstract for new PNAS article

It’s a tough time for STEM education research right now, but we are still excited to share our new PNAS paper, “Divergence in children’s gender stereotypes and motivation across STEM fields”! We have big surveys (2,765 students in Grades 1-12), 2 pre-registered studies, and open data. (1/13)

Remembering Psychology Professor Sam Sommers Sam Sommers, longtime professor at Tufts, studied the psychological causes and consequences of racism

Social psychology lost a giant, and I lost a dear friend and collaborator. Still processing the loss of Sam Sommers, and probably will be for some time. Cherish the time you have with your people, folks.

I'm all for dunking on someone for confusing transgenic and transgender - what better way to discredit them as fools. And of course those lines of research should continue.

But let's not lose sight of the fact that transgender research IS being defunded. Right now. And that's not OK either.

Congrats!!!

As PI of a grant on this list, I'm proud of the work we're doing to help ALL students reach their academic goals with evidence-based strategies in the classroom. This work is important not only for students and instructors, but for society at large. We will not stop.

Cruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Database

I encourage everyone to go through to see the grants that have been categorized as "woke DEI." It's disgusting. www.commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/cruz-...

You should all register for Ben's workshop! I used one of @benheddy.bsky.social's activities today in Achievement Motivation. There was tons of laughter and it was proclaimed "the best day ever." (1/5) @aeratepsig.bsky.social @aera-motsig.bsky.social

On the way to Santa Fe for SESP! I'll be presenting on goal structure and content in our symposium "Challenging Traditions in Self-Regulation Research" on Friday afternoon.

Unfortunately our IRB only includes those working in the US at this time.

Still recruiting current STEM faculty for a brief, paid survey! #iTeachBio #chemEd #iTeachPhysics #academicSky #stats #geosciences

Join us in Psychological & Brain Sciences at Indiana University! I am chairing this search for a lecturer in social psychology (for best consideration, apply by Jan 2, 2024). indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/20273

I am SUPER excited for this collaboration between @blackinneuro.bsky.social and @reviewerzero.bsky.social!

Register for this trainee-focused event, in which @mattgoldrick.bsky.social and I will lead a tutorial on the hidden curriculum of peer review 📝

Only current faculty for this survey 😞

Please share with interested STEM faculty in your networks! STEM faculty must be at US-based institutions. #SciSky #AcadSky #EduSky

Are you a current STEM faculty instructor who thinks about how to keep students engaged in your classes? We are seeking STEM faculty to participate in a short 10-15 minute survey about these topics. Participants will receive a $50 gift card. Survey is here: iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Are you working on your courses for the Fall? We are researchers at Indiana University interested in how STEM faculty can best support their students. We are recruiting STEM faculty to develop a repository of assignments that encourage students to reflect on their motivations in choosing STEM. We will work together to utilize new research insights and your expertise to craft an assignment to support your students. If interested, complete survey at rb.gy/9zchs

Our team at Indiana University is still recruiting STEM faculty in the US to co-design an assignment that encourages students to reflect on their purpose in STEM! If interested, please provide us your info here: rb.gy/9ZCHS
