I know it’s the theme of the day, and want to share several Pittsburgh orgs that are doing important work in the community that don’t have the resources to advertise on Giving Tuesday. If giving today, look these orgs up on Give Big Pittsburgh! A 🧵

Over time, I’ve decoded the question as “What do you do for other people?”

Once I got a faculty job, they didn’t automatically care what my dissertation was about, but understood it as a way to establish my credentials to teach in college. They cared about me and having a job vs training for one.

I 100% agree with you here! Every one of my therapists and my spouse who is also a therapist who applied for clinical but went counseling, would totally attest to this too!

Glad you’re steering folks in the more fruitful direction for their pursuits!

Thank you! We are looking to develop and test more with students, staff, and faculty. Bias training has small effects that are notoriously short lived. We hope that making it fun to debias behavior will have lasting impacts by motivating people to practice through games!

The amplification is very much appreciated 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Bias at play: Investigating sensitization and desensitization to diversity and inclusion via interactions with bots

Sorry about that—hope this one works!

hey -- i'm hiring a postdoc! the ad will be up shortly, but looking for someone with network neuroscience experience (very broadly). the position isn't tied to any specific project/grant, so lots of flexibility in terms of what you'd actually *do*. hmu if you might be interested/want to learn more!

My colleagues Geoff Kaufman and @cotyg.bsky.social @carnegiemellon.bsky.social use a game to show humans can learn social norms from bots about responding to bias incidents at work. We found offensive (vs responsible) bot responses leads to more offensive human responses and hostility afterward.

Also thanks for your interest in my work! I have a lot of irons in the fire much different than my brain imaging days, but here is something recent: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thank you! Also adjacent and have a few friends with clinical degrees or in clinical programs now. I’m inspired to ask them more now 😁

All that said, I’m definitely curious about the actually answer too!

If some subset of this applicants are like I was, clinical affords them ability to practice if they have the dual interest with research. (I wanted to go MD or DO at the time). But also FWIW, clinical can get you on TT, has more prestige than counseling psych, social work, and PsyD.

I don’t have the answer to this but saw the scope a while back. Anecdotally, I applied to a 1 clinical program back in 2013. 400+ apps for 5-6 spots. At the time, I applied to a bio-health-psych, but 4 cog neuro programs where I ultimately landed.
