The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

![Use and adapt our drafted comment below or write your own!
I strongly oppose the proposed repeal of the Endangerment Finding. The science is clear: greenhouse gases unequivocally harm our health and our environment. Weakening or repealing the Endangerment Finding will make it harder, and costlier to protect our communities from pollution and from the effects of climate change.
Optional: I care about this issue because [insert your personal reasoning here -e.g. "my father has COPD," "I recently lost my home to a devastating hurricane"]
I urge you to keep the Endangerment Finding in place and to apply science to protect our health and our environment for generations to come.

Check out my interview in the CNS newsletter about my graduate research on free recall in children 😊
"Sometimes when it seems like young children don’t remember something you ask them about, it may be more of an issue of cognitive search and verbal fluency than memory per se." Read a new Q&A with @susanbenear.bsky.social about the development of free recall:

How Was Your School Day?: Unpacking Free Recall in Young Children
A new paper finds that it can take some time for free recall to develop in young children, requiring multiple different cognitive skills.
