I am obsessed with his brothers. I want them to do a reality show or limited series or something

Email 3: "We would like to inform you that the deadline for submissions to the current issue... of has been extended, allowing additional time for authors to finalize the manuscripts." Still not edited for English language, and now "Chelsea Evelyn, ME" with no location. So should I submit? 😂

Email 2: "I'm reaching out for the THIRD time to kindly remind you about the blah blah deadline for etc etc." You can't count, bad sign. Now her name is "Chelsea Evelyn, Head Editor", with no location or phone number.

Finished with "Cheers, Chelsea Evelyn, ME" (their last names are always also first names, that's how you know for sure that it's a journal scammer). From San Antonio (riiiiiight), with phone: +1 414 339 935 (you're missing a digit, dummy). And sender in header is "Cheslea" Evelyn. Great stuff

Email 1: "This is a fourth follow-up mail sent recently regarding year-end issue of Psychology Journal: Research Open" (what??) And then a couple of links, both with URLs clearly showing that it's a link to a tracker.

So I keep getting emails soliciting submissions to some fake journal. Maybe it exists, I haven't checked it out, but it's clearly extremely sketchy. My junk filter clears garbage after a month, but I've gotten three emails from them in the past month.

We did a journal club on your paper a few weeks ago, lends itself to important conversations!

Finally wrapped up listening to the podcast this morning. I'm a norms guy, so great stuff! Totally worth a listen.

I pounced on tracking down this paper even before he had a chance to announce it here. Thanks again Bryan!

How to Pronounce ‘Biopic’ What Is a Misle? Today I want to talk about misles, and one misle in particular. What’s a misle, you ask? It’s a mispronunciation of a word based on its spelling. It gets its name from the past tense ...

So for years I thought that was pretty cute. And then, because I am a grammar dork, one day I came across this information when listening to a podcast by Grammar Girl, who also helpfully put it in writing here. What the hell? www.quickanddirtytips.com/articles/how...

Still trying to decide if posting in this place is just shouting into the void. So I will lead with a story.

Edith Kaplan wrote an autobiographical chapter in an edited volume that collected stories of prominent neuropsychologists. Read the second paragraph.

Come on people, I don't toot my own horn but this is inspired. It's the opposite of a "truth". It's a "BS". This is a no-brainer.

(6) overall attitude: I had gotten so stressed out about my oral exam that I was in a stupor afterward and missed my flight home. They had even called me by name. I was at the gate playing a game on my phone the whole time. Dissociated I guess. Made it home the next day. Don't be like me. Good luck!

(5) oral exam: this is the part that scared me and that I personally procrastinated on. I again went with the study guide and had multiple colleagues review my practice sample to provide me with sample questions about it. The exam was nowhere near as scary as I expected. Everyone was lovely to me.

(4) practice samples: Pick 2 reports that are representative of what you see & are meaningfully varied. Make sure you issue a dx. Don't pick anything obscure or creative or messy; everything you mention in the report opens you up to more questions on cross-exam. **Have a trusted friend review them**

(cont.) Using that approach, there were only two questions on my exam that felt completely foreign to me. For all others, if I got them wrong, I knew it was my own fault for forgetting the information I knew I had read.

(cont.) It's important not to rely on only the study guide of course. But it's great to help you figure out which areas you need more resources in. It taught me that I knew nothing about pediatric disorders, so I found a textbook on the topic and studied that too.

(3) what to study: I think my written exam was in the first cohort after the Stucky et al study guide came out. Before that, the recommendation was to study everything. Like, everything. I definitely used the study guide as my home base, and it did not disappoint. I still use it a lot actually.

(2) how to study: this is the easy one of course; do it however works for you. A lot of people do study groups, a lot of people don't. I can't do group prep, so I didn't. Some people swear by note cards; that's not my style either. You've done well on a lot of tests, so follow your own policies.

(1) When to do it: anytime. Some trainees plan to do it as early as possible. But the EPPP takes a lot out of folks. It can keep for a couple of years. It took me 8 years after postdoc to get around to the exam; you don't have to wait that long, but don't panic if you're not doing it immediately.

NavNeuro dropped a podcast this week on the topic of studying for board certification. They covered a range of general study strategies, and other-exam-takers can check that out too. I have some more specific thoughts of my own about neuropsych board exam prep, so here they are (in my 3rd BS!)

I can't possibly be the first person to realize that the catchy name for a post on BlueSky needs to be BS, right? As in, this is my second ever BS

Did you know that prior to 2016, nobody had ever received more than 43.1% of the vote (Maris 1988) without someday being inducted? The 75% cutoff only makes it harder for eventual inductees to enjoy it. Jones deserves the call.

It's tough, authors are squeezing in their manuscripts they swore they'd at least get submitted in 2024, and editors have to get them into under-review status regardless of the holiday. Decline the excess reviews and suggest alternate reviewers to make the editors happy.

So sorry, Jeff. Best of wishes to you and your family.

I'm very interested in this topic and happy to chat sometime

Loved the original edition. I was actually thinking about it just this morning. I'm absolutely going to read this one too. I might have to shoplift it (thanks OUP), but I'll read it....

When my oldest son was little, his favorite TV show had an episode focused on narwhals, and one character introduced them with: "Narwhals are magical creatures that live in the sea that no one ever sees!" The show's writers thought narwhals were fictional.
