For those who need an intro: My name is Erin, I’m a dev psych postdoc at the University of Illinois studying the modifiable, internal factors that moderate risk for maladjustment. I’m also on the job market!

I’ve been working with a HS student for the past year. We worked together to find a research topic that both of us are both excited about. I’m reviewing the proposal and I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY. This student is so smart and capable. It has been an absolute honor to work with them.

I wonder if my students are going to realize that 90% of the names of people in my hypothetical exam review questions were taken from contestants from the Golden Bachelor/BIP/Love is Blind?

If academia doesn’t work out, I’m keeping my options as a bee keeping assistant open.

Out now in ACER! We found that contingency management programs to reduce alcohol use are most pronounced in heavy alcohol users, but the effectiveness of interventions may be suppressed by pre-existing contingencies. doi.org/10.1111/acer...
