Congratulations to Olivia Reilly defending her MA thesis in Psychology UNB SaintJohn on crisis intervention (CI) competencies used by police officers (coded from BWCs). Take home: force was uncommon & most officers displayed moderate to high quality CI competencies.

We don't want that kind of closed minded thinking in Canada. Research is the quest for knowledge and understanding using the scientific method. Politics don't set the agenda!
“I think this is the first time a Cdn poli has crossed that line to officially say they want to interfere to control research topics. It could be a very terrible time for us.” Sound familiar?

Pierre Poilievre’s plan to shut down our public broadcaster is now so unpopular, he’s afraid to talk about it!

Keep spreading the word about why we must stop his attempt to shut down the CBC. Encourage friends and family to join us: forwardcanada.ca/protectcbc

Why Pierre Poilievre has suddenly gone silent on defunding the CBC
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has not mentioned his promise to gut the CBC at any of his press conferences or policy announcements since the election campaign started.

Today's youth use videos to learn, so we need to explore how they judge its quality. Cool study showing relations between better judgments & age, self-efficacy, intellectual humility, & epistemic cognition. More research needed, of course. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky
