Attending SISSP was an amazing experience! Special thanks to @theklamorgenroth.bsky.social @mjbsp.bsky.social for leading the Politics & Gender course. Also thanks to all of the professors that made this experience possible. I can’t wait to see everyone at @spspnews.bsky.social! <3

My heart is full from all the questions I got this year from @spssi.bsky.social conference! I got to present my work examining how identity denial from either ingroup or outgroup members can predict Multiracial wellbeing. Being Multiracial myself this work is close to home and I hope it is a start!

Great to see our lab presenting such important research. Proud of my lab mate and alum!

Thanks Jin!!

How we’re battling Trump’s science cuts across small-town America Neuroscientist Jessica Cantlon is urging scientists to use the power of local newspapers in the fight against US research-funding cuts.

Imagine if every scientist published an op-ed in their hometown paper showing how their community sparked their curiosity & shaped the research that's now changing the country? That's what @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social is promoting—collective action, one story at a time.

Brand new paper in @jexpsocpsych.bsky.social from the @dukeidlab.bsky.social 🤩 We are among the first to test cross-culturally how Asian American and Chinese Nationals categorize racially ambiguous biracial faces!! #psychology

Proud to announce my first first authored paper has been published online at JESP with Drs. @sarahegaither.bsky.social and @jackiemchen.bsky.social! We used a cross cultural sample to test two theories about racial ambiguity categorization. The preprint will be on OSF soon!

Asian American professor who teaches history of racism attacked in possible hate crime A Japanese American professor was struck by a vehicle and called a racial slur while on his bike last month in Montebello, an incident that police are investigating as a possible hate crime.

Thank you for sharing! I hope we can further communicate and share why we must invest in science!

Guest Oped: Why New Jersey must advocate for science The funding cuts proposed by the current administration will slow the scientific research in New Jersey and the economic growth that comes with investing in our educational and scientific instituti…

As a part of the @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social movement, I wrote an op-ed back home to Trenton NJ. Here I highlighted a little bit about my own journey and why it would not have been possible without federal investments into the STEM infrastructure by the NIH and NSF.

Thank you for sharing! Just two corrections: I am a psychologist and the test was developed at Rutgers New Brunswick! Thanks you for the sharing and all details are in the article!

Feeling frustrated for you. Im so sorry Franki!

every college, corporate, and nonprofit president right now

White House Cancels $400 Million in Grants and Contracts to Columbia The Trump administration blamed the university’s failure to protect Jewish students from harassment during protests last year over the war in Gaza.

The AAUP wholly condemns this punitive weaponization of federal grant funding. This attempt to discipline & control a university campus is a transparent hallmark of authoritarian rule & harshly violates the central mission of education to serve the public good.
