While I can't speak to these specific unis, I can attest that leaving the U.S. after having my fellowship cut short by the current regime has been one of the best moves I've made in my career. #psychjobs

What a week! After 5 days, the #mitnb workshop has come to an end. We had a keynote on time scales and two workshops on careless responding and reliability. The central part of the workshops were the hackathons. We had super diverse hackathons, all designed to assess measurement in #ESM. (1/4)

Thank you for hosting me in your lab @drmeltemyucel.bsky.social! It was a lot of fun meeting your students. And huge thanks to you all for your patience in listening to me excitedly ramble about my work at 10pm after a long work day...a testament to your own ER abilities, I'm sure 😅

I also used to hate day light savings. But apparently not enough because I now live in a place where today the sun rose ~8am and set just after 4pm (and it'll only get worse, I've been told) 😬
Standard time is the worst thing ever devised. Going home at 5pm in darkness is absolutely soul crushing. All so a bunch of morning people can have a little more daylight at 6am.
