A very hard earned submission knocked out! A lot of obstacles but a lot learned. One more paper to submit later this month meaning I’m up to 3 manuscripts for 2025 so far and no stopping in sight 🥳

Happy #APPIC Match Day to all the trainees who matched in phase 2!
It’s important to note over half of P2 applicants did not secure an internship, let alone an APA accredited spot, and truly speaks to the major problems with the current APPIC system that need to be improved for trainees.

Whew mic 🎤 drop 🎤
My annual psych internship rant, now with even more 🔥. The pre-PhD internship is an outdated model that devalues the expertise psych students bring. Now, we may be requiring students to move to unsafe cities and unstable positions, during a stage when healthcare and reproductive rights are critical.

How come no one told me the absolute elatedness that comes with your RAs telling you they got into PhD programs?! 🥳 Best feeling ever to watch them achieve their dreams!

Can anyone help a fellow researcher out?
Does anyone have CDC Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System survey state level data for 2021 they are willing to share? Got taken down and we were counting on it for an important research project. 😔

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

I… and I can’t stress this enough… loathe the EPPP. Why can’t you just let me live, ASPPB!!!!! 🫠🥴

Literally the worst feeling to know you, your colleagues, and all the trainees in the post-doc/internship are all at risk of losing a future we worked so hard for.
I know that it is the point, but the whiplash about federal funding has been an exhausting emotional roller coaster over the last 48 hours. It is extremely distressing to not know if you are going to have a job tomorrow.
