Come work with us! We're really fun, I swear!

In all seriousness, Mason had been a dynamic and wonderful place to work and my CBN colleagues are wonderful 😊

Spend time on a good outline with plans for your citations and spend time keeping your data organized

Today marks over 100 miles, 2 lab meetings and two (impressed? Astounded?) trader Joe's employees worth of multimodal bike commuting!

Don’t be confused: The Senate Republican AI language includes the EXACT SAME AI moratorium as the House bill. Almost word-for-word. This is a complete, 10-year ban on state AI regulation. Period.

Taking March 7 off to fight for my friends, and for the folks I have spent 20 years of my career supporting. Join me in DC or your local event.

Black History is Black Joy.

Despite efforts to erase, we persist. And so does joy. Today, I stood in front of Black art that reflected our light, resilience, and imagination. From family portraits to bold colors bursting with possibilityβ€”we are here.

Joy is our birthright. #joyplan

Going on two years now of shopping baby products and I have been lied to. Many. Times. But the using words "spill proof" has got to be the worst lie Big Baby has told yet.

Totally agree! And I think I remember data supporting that. I'm imagining a system where they are free and become the catchall environment. I don't think most R1-type research Us are capable of doing the same thing as efficiently

What do you think about community college then? The colleagues I've met that teach in CCs are really creative with pedagogy and great and reaching a wide range of abilities.

Does social avoidance maintain social anxiety? Our paper is now published with some "free" eprints at this link www.tandfonline.com/eprint/RQK9U...

Or preprint PsyArxiv link:

Is it just me or is it kind of gross that my manuscript is rejected then offered "a guarantee that [my] manuscript will proceed directly to peer review in Heliyon."?

Parenting thought of the day:

While looking at one of the twins I thought "wow he looks like if me and [my husband, father of my children] had a baby"

This is like getting to redo my Twitter introduction post isn't it? Too bad I still don't know what I'll be posting about. Here's a fair guess:

Babies
Cat/neighborhood animals
Research (mine)
Research (wishlist)
Faculty/academic life
Food
Hobbies I wish I had
Unsolicited advice for students
