Officially moved in and ready to start my grad student journey at Auburn!
Underwent a VERY hectic (and unforgettable) 36-hour drive from California to Alabama. Also had the sweetest stop in Idaho to visit family and most importantly, my dogs. So excited to start classes next week! WAR EAGLE! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation.

๐ŸšจSCIENCE UNDER SIEGE: TRUMPโ€™S FIRST 100 DAYS ๐Ÿšจ

So happy to share pictures from my presentation at North Idaho College during a Research in the Behavioral Sciences lecture. I was delighted to share my academic & research journey with students at NIC and hopefully inspire future researchers. Iโ€™m thankful for Dr. Victor Duarte for this opportunity.
