It’s not fun but a necessity. Luckily, my pets get trained to travel starting pretty young, and he does ok.

Jasper is racking up the flight miles

Firmly convinced that a group of psychologists is called “an anxiety”

CAREER ADVICE: It’s so important to schedule five minutes between meetings so you can scream, cry, or lie on your back and stare at the ceiling.

Would you now say that every now and then when they do this that you fall apart?

Just throwing it out there that I will be at ABCT in Seattle and would be down for some shenanig- science. I mean science

Beat me to it

When I was a baby scientist, I always thought it would be so cool to be like my professors and jet set across the county.

This dinner of champions is making me question my life choices.

NH is a friendly place that loves it’s maple syrup. Expanding my cultural awareness daily, y’all.

Multiple things can be true at once:

1. Oct 7th was the worst collective trauma Jews have experienced in our lifetimes

2. The war on Gaza is a horror

3. Antisemitism is rising

4. Islamophobia is rising

Those trying to use one of these to cancel others are making things worse

You need to watch My Fair Lady.

Happy trick or treating!

Anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish attitudes among respondents in the American Mosaic Project 2014 survey. Each jittered black point in the top panel of this figure represents the number of anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim attitudes reported by a White, Non-Hispanic respondent—the sum of yes responses to seven statements, including “They don’t share my morals or values” and “They want to take over our political institutions.” Purple ellipses represent a normal data ellipses for responses conditional on any problem (bottom left corner) and average conditional on a sum of problems across both groups greater than 10 (top right corner). Using the same data, the bottom two panels display the average number of problems attributed to a group conditional on the number of problems attributed to the other group

This figure displays change in mentions of Jews and Muslims or Arabs that contained predicted hate speech compared to January 2017 among Gab users who posted every month January 2017 through August 2018

The bottom panel above displays hate crimes and bias incidents recorded by ADL and CAIR by month. The top panels compares these two sources. Overall, hate crimes and bias incidents gradually decline after the 2016 election—until a very large spike in anti-Jewish incidents in late 2018. In addition to the overall patterns potentially related to the election and inauguration of Donald Trump, we also see a longer term shift in anti-Jewish hate crimes relative to anti-Muslim hate crimes in mid-2017. This second shift mirrors the activity on fringe social media sites around Unite the Right

Anti-Muslim or Arab and anti-Jewish aggravated assault, murders, manslaughter, arson, and kidnapping recorded in the FBI UCR data by month

Anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish hate online stems from the same fringe, white supremacist communities who target both groups interchangeably, finds Hobbs, @nazita.bsky.social, Li & Lucas, suggesting we need to consider hate against both groups in tandem

An unconventional advice for those on TT market: Consider negotiating a set of funds to help others. I + others have negotiated $$ to host diversity-related events at conferences and for community outreach. We often think startup $ is just for our own research and lab, but I want us to think bigger.

This is *so* important. Following these recommendations is the very least we can do! psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-...

It was too short of a trip!

God Bless Texas

Did you know this fun team loves working with APPIC interns and postdocs? Just saying

It also isn’t lost on me that much of the push for open science practices has been occurring in parallel with more people (esp those at less prestigious programs) entering/attempting to enter academia

Please donate to my fundraiser, the Palestine Children Relief's Fund. Regardless of your side, I hope you can agree that innocent children should not suffer for the acts of adults. I'm hoping for $10,000, but any amount you can donate will certainly help.

The new NIH approach to grant review is a GO and will apply to submissions after Jan 25, 2025. One more year to work that reputational bias, friends.

My two work modes:

1) This is amazing
2) I'm quitting everything

We actually need to cross paths at one of these conferences!

To paraphrase @lrkhazem.bsky.social, proof that I actually scienced over the last four days and wasn’t just eating tapas. The IASR/AFSP Summit was phenomenal! Great research happening globally to better understand suicide and its prevention, and I’m so grateful to be part of it.

Now for vacation!

I’m disappointed in all of you.

I believe that women should take up space. I also believe that we should work to make the spaces we take up kinder and more inclusive for those who will take up that space after us.

Any movie/musical come to mind about this Spanish scenery?
