Now that some more human-animal interaction folks have joined the platform, I figured I would make a starter pack for researchers working in the fields of HAI or anthrozoology! Please message me if you would like to be added!

I will be teaching undergraduate + PhD level courses on empirically supported treatments for psychopathology.

Want this to be a healthy dose of both what works, while also arming them on how to evaluate intervention science.

Any suggestions for my reading list? Self-nominations welcome!

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

people collecting web data, what is your current favourite source of representative samples in the US and UK?

we need to hire somebody to recruit 2K participants. 25min task

I ask this every now and then because we do mainly citizen-science recruiting and as a result I'm constantly under-informed

Not sure if I’m doing this right, but I’ve had a go at starting a ‘Reconceptualising psychopathology’ starter pack (e.g., HiTOP, RDoC, dynamic systems, clinical staging). Please do send me suggestions or requests to be added!
