Doing some science talks at Comic-Con this week...

Presenting at San Diego Comic-Con with this awesome group of psychologists! Taking mental health science beyond academic settings into spaces like comic con not only raises the general public's awareness of our work but also encourages help-seeking, health promotion, & normalization of struggles.

Announcing the return of our Comic-Con panel series, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF STAR TREK VS. STAR WARS! This year, we're joined by Diana Lee Inosanto (Star Wars: Ahsoka) & Ronald D. Moore (Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine) ☄️✨🪐

Worked with the amazing folks at Steamroller Animation to support their vision of bringing character-driven stories to life! @steamrolleranim.bsky.social is an independent animation studio owned and operated by artists. It's a pleasure to be a part of their journey! 🔥🔥🔥! 🔥🔥🔥

I'll be visiting Santa Monica College in May with my Studio Ghibli + Mental Health workshop. All are welcome.

Media consulting, while only a fraction of my work as a psychologist, has helped me grow and develop so much this year. Disseminating psychological science is accomplished in many ways - Highlighting just a few here as I look back on the year 😍

This week on our podcast, we covered HBO's The Penguin 🐧
It's a gripping and disturbing deep dive into a Batman villain's self-interested, vulnerable narcissism as he ascends the mob underworld of Gotham City.

Hi! I am a psychologist who disseminates mental health science to broad spaces such as the entertainment, tech, and educational industries. Please introduce yourself if I don't already know/follow you! let's co-create a fun and helpful community!

Writing about Miles Morales deepened my own reflections about thwarted belongingness, not fitting in, the in-betweenness some of us face in our search to matter in our world. I'm grateful I got to write this piece about Spider-Man and his journey to becoming a hero:
