srsly if you hate that publishers charge your grant $5-10K for open access, there's a simple solution

don't write for those journals
don't review for those journals
don't edit for those journals

Scientific Reports, Nature Comms, Comms Psych, Frontiers <- I auto-delete all their emails. easy 👍🏻

I will be interviewing for a clinical psychology PhD student in the Precision Psychopathology + Dynamic Immunopsychiatry Lab this interview cycle.

Please see our website for more info about what we do + share with applicants you think might be a good fit.

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of. They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
