We are doing a pilot survey about how prospective PhD students in PSYCHOLOGY make decisions about applying to grad programs. If you are thinking of applying to a program in the future, and have 2-5 minutes to spare, could you take this survey? 🫶

Teenagers are especially sensitive to loneliness, new #research has found.
But when social reconnection isn’t possible, this can drive them to seeking harmful rewards like alcohol or drugs.

One year ago 🤩 insane how time flies! My first year as post-doc is coming to a close and while somedays it feels like I am still in the same place I was a year ago, I also see how much I‘m not. I continue to investigate #executivefunctions in children with #chd and am continuously inspired. 🫀

I can highly recommend the books of Dawson and Guare regarding ways to learn and teach #executivefunctions
