Developmental psychologist @UMaryland studying neighborhoods, adversity, the brain 🧠, and resilience. Trying to figure out what community-driven neuroscience looks like. https://gardlab.umd.edu (she/her)
Nice figure put together by grad student Deena Shariq: in all 134 papers that reported education continuously, only 3 reported study sample education levels lower than the country of recruitment average; most samples are “over educated”

We found that most standard methodological details were not reported. Particularly bad IMO were recruitment procedures (29%), inclusion/exclusion criteria (46%), and reasons for missing imaging data (31%). Only 15% and 28% of paper reported race-ethnicity and SES, respectively

We were interested in documenting reporting practices related to generalizability, replicability, and reliability of MRI/fMRI papers published in top journals journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

For now, check out the "Our Neighborhood, Our Stories" series that Joelle worked on with @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social Commissioner Ra Amin, and the Brookland Intergenerational Village (brooklandvillage.org). findingyourgood.org/repurposed-p... (8/8)

Neighborhood social integration was defined as resident engagement with the physical context - what (e.g., community events), where (e.g., parks), & how (e.g., bus) folks used their neighborhoods. Three themes captures barriers/facilitators to integration: social cohesion, safety, & transience (3/8)

Joelle was interested in barriers & facilitators to neighborhood social integration, and whether those factors differed across social role, race-ethnicity, and housing tenure. We wanted to understand this process deeply for DC - the original "chocolate city", rich w/ culture, history, & change (2/8)

Gotta say… eating a box of Tagalong #girlscoutcookies was real mood-boosting for me this weekend. To lighten your feed, what’s your favorite #girlscoutcookie ??
