No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

Maybe it’s because I’m a social psychologist at my core, but ohmigosh one of favourite human moments is when everyone marvels at nature together. My feeds are lit up from coast to coast. Marvelling is my favourite hobby. 💫 #StarryEyedSurpruse #NorthernLights #Marvellous

Some friendly advice to folks new to the conference submission game: everybody gets some submissions rejected. I did today. It’s normal and expected. Keep doing the best work you can, don’t get too high or too low, learn from every decision, and push on. #AERA2026

We need to increase access to psychologists. Reducing the training requirements to practice is *not* the way to go. See this letter urging council to vote *against* reducing training standards for psychologists.

Academic folks: I’m trying to find a study that compares multidisciplinary training against single discipline training at differing levels of student expertise (curious if effects are similar to inquiry based learning). Do we know of anything? I can’t find much empirical research in this area?

My little’s luggage was lost. In it was a plush rattle from when she was a baby (Pengie). I’ve called the airline repeatedly, we searched Halifax & Ottawa airports, & I think it’s gone. 1) reminder stuffies go in carryons 😬 2) we’ve googled our fingers off for a replica. Can’t find. Any insights?

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

I try to practice work-life balance (lol). Yesterday, I met early with collaborators and hammered out a grant draft. I then saw a window to jump on a puffin/whale watching tour. A calf, cow, and bull humpback were so close I could have touched them. 🤩 Leaving with a full heart, both nerd and nature!

This year #CPA2025 got me in the feels. Seeing students, colleagues, and friends all doing such incredible work—I didn’t expect to love mid-career this much. It’s so cool to be at a place where you can look both back and forward. Thanks to all for sharing your talent and laughter this week! 🤓
