My advisor @benhankin.bsky.social always had us focus on an "Intro to the Intro". Give a couple pages of overview so that the reader can then go into the sections of your intro in more depth. Like a mini inverted pyramid on top of your intro

The wonderful Kathleen McCormick lead this paper examining the impact of the pandemic on the puberty & depression relationship
We found that pandemic youth did not show a relation highlighting the importance of considering socio-historical context

This is awesome! I share your viewpoint on this class and the fish is often to tech critical thinking. I want to integrate more of this into my own teaching so I'm excited to see what you share.

Handsome is a good one!
Right now it is The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast
In the past: Comedy Bang Bang, Off Book, Newcomers. I had more, but when Google Podcasts went down, all my previous listens went with it. Looking for some new ones!
Hannah is absolutely amazing and this is such an awesome opportunity!

I agree and I think a lot of it comes from researchers doing what is familiar to them. If it isn't broken why fix it?
It's good to address it at the publication and funding levels, but what's the best way to teach our students? Often those with less power are those who want change implemented
Back as a lab manager I worked with www.sweetwater.com I actually talked with them and they walked me through a lot of the options when we were doing group work with youth. We used Tascam and I was impressed. If you want auto transcription Samsung voice recorder just introduced some features!

Any suggestions?
Me listening to comedy and improv podcasts...
But some of my favorite nerdy podcasts are "Light O'Clock", "Within & Between" (not sure if they are doing new eps) & everything hertz. Maybe I need to start dropping new episodes of Revise& Resubmit π€£
What are some topics that folks would like to see covered?

I was thinking either a video series on using R called "Mr. R-gers" or introducing basic elements to improve mental health. Then donate any revenue to The Trevor Project or something similar

I did not match in the first round and it was likely one of the best things to happen
This is not a reflection of you, or any of your work leading up to this point. Sometimes it is about some arbitrary cutoff that had to be made
Go into Phase II knowing that you have power to make decisions
Happy APPIC Match Day to those who celebrate!
For some of you, this email is extremely exciting and you are planning on working in an environment of your dreams
For others, you feel defeated and overwhelmed. Thoughts about not being good enough.
Whichever group you are in, YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH!
I'm excited to put on this workshop and work with @dariia.bsky.social!
There will be a brief intro to SEM. Talking about within/between and why we should care. And some live coding!

If you were to **hypothetically** find a resource that has a list of psych measures, what types of information would you like to have included?
Original paper & reliability? Updates on psychometric properties in other samples? Link to measure? A possibility to submit or vote on measures?
My grad student @dayhreeming.bsky.social just had some of his previous work talked about in a recent post www.psypost.org/anxiety-boos...
Hopefully we can continue his work examining creativity, chronotype and mood! Nice work Hreem!!
