HDFS AIRS Lab | I’m interested in understanding how to promote sleep, health, and adjustment in the context of challenging peer and family relationships.
Please come check out my lab members at our posters for SRCD from my project focused on a cool peer mentoring program!

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this

This is not a drill!!
17 states are suing to end Section 504, which ensures that schools, hospitals, and other places that receive federal funding cannot engage in #disability discrimination.

Join the Zoom to learn how you can help stop the attack on Section 504: dredf-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Today I made three phone calls, one to my representative and one to each of my senators. All to their DC offices. My goals is to call all three every weekday at both their DC and local offices. My next mission is learning when my rep will be in town (especially).

Good news today! My most recent publication on discrimination and health/sleep in adolescence is officially out in the Journal of Health Psychology! Excited that years of hard work on this paper are finally paying off 💕

Holidays like this one really make me feel time doesn’t exist how we use it day to day. This is one of my favorite things to think about so it does come up other times, too 🤣

The developmental science program at North Dakota State University is taking applications this year! If you’d like to study adolescence, sleep, or disability related topics please reach out to me! I’m happy to chat about potential research opportunities in my lab!

I officially deleted X and I do feel a bit of nostalgia for #academictwitter days and building my connections there. Who should I follow over here? I’m interested in #adolescence and study a variety of things within this age group. Really interested in the intersections of identities!

I’m spending my free time working on what guides my research or what my longer term research goals are. Reflecting on my favorite parts of this job and how to increase them. Collaborating is truly the best part.

I’m working on following folks here that I used to follow on the app that shall not be named so that I can delete it ASAP! I research adolescent development!
