Here's another screenshot of a system I've used in the past (not RedCap). Each button represented a study, & clicking on one gave you all the kids in that age range in the database that isn't already actively being contacted.

@montanashore.bsky.social & Peter Blake show that “by 7-8 years of age, children endorse a range of procedures as better than an egalitarian option” —> Beautiful presentation and an exciting line of work!

Our symposium on “Psychology of Religious Development: A Cross-cultural Analysis” was a blast (and yes, I may be biased as one of the co-chairs).

I can’t wait to see all the projects that will come out of the Developing Belief Network! #SRCD25 #SRCD2025

Looking forward to #SRCD25 (in less than two weeks!) and reconnecting with fellow #devpsyc folks.

I’ve got a full schedule this year 😅

Excited to share ideas, learn from others, and hopefully even squeeze in a coffee or two in between!
