About to quit my day job to take up pressure washing junk in my back yard full time…
Outdoor area rug with a navy blue and light gray checkered pattern. It is mostly dirty except for a clearly defined clean patch. Dirty diving board with a pressure washer nozzle pointing at the edge of a clearly defined clean patch

Congratulations to my lab for passing 100 rejections 🎉 I couldn’t have picked a better set of folks to get rejected over and over and over with 😂

Oh stop, you big flatterer you 😊😂😂😂

But seriously this tool is a godsend for folks invested in big team science and interdisciplinary work 🙌
Downloading citations... This can take a few minutes for long timespans or lots of publications... Please be patient... This is a lot of data... Wow Jolie Wormwood really publishes a lot... Hope this grant deadline isn't too soon...

I have been co-leading a local Girl Scout troop the past few months, and it’s been such an unexpected source of inspiration and enthusiasm for me. It is reminding me why I fell in love with science and math in the first place.

My first SPSP was in 2009, and it was in Tampa the same weekend as the Gasparilla Pirate Fest. I have 0 pictures of me actually attending the conference 😅
Picture of me standing in a hotel room with my foot up on a table, wearing a plastic eye patch with a skull on it, holding a plastic hook hand, and wearing a bunch of plastic beaded necklaces.

Been posting this ‘No Stink Bugs Allowed’ sign my daughter made, but they don’t seem to be listening 🤔 … maybe the tone is off

Our pup got skunked 😫🦨

But, in the skunk’s defense, he was really asking for it—just totally oblivious to all the signs the skunk didn’t want to play.

Here he is rethinking his life choices…

I can’t stop laughing about this chonky unicorn 😂😍
A silver cookie cutter in the shape of a slender unicorn as seen from the side. It is sitting on parchment paper above a sugar cookie cut out in the same shape, but the cookie is substantially fatter and rounder in terms of its silhouette than the cookie cutter.

I am so tired of pretending *every* study is introducing some groundbreaking new theory or phenomenon. This is not the way to build a careful or empirically rigorous science. 😒

Screen shot of a reviewer comment: “There is a lot to like about these two studies. The design and methodology js precise and generally commendable. The writing is also easy to follow. I liked many of the careful interpretations, and I liked the incremental value of Study 2 over Study 1. The thing that causes reservations for me is the “so what” question of the research. That is, I usually caution writers to exercise more careful interpretations and writing, but in this case, the paper is written so descriptively, and the interpretations are so careful that I couldn’t help but wonder what precisely the contribution to social psychology is supposed to be.”

Had a fantastic time in New Orleans at #2023SPR the past few days! Great food and great talks! And my amazing graduate student, Tess Reid, presented her work exploring changes in baseline cardiac activity within-persons over time. 🎉 #PschSciSky
