In the past month 4 trainees in my lab lost: NIH diversity supplement, MARC, & STEP-Up funding. NSF SBE meeting (incl. ECRs) indefinitely postponed. Pipeline cuts disproportionately affect underrepresented scholars. Individual lives & our collective future impacted. #ScienceMatters

Kristina Olson and I have a truly incredible advisee who won an NSF but had no luck on clinical psych PhD applications this round. Anyone able to consider another candidate this late in the process? Trust me, you won't regret it!

Early childhood is incredibly important for child development, and Head Start is incredibly important for supporting a very large number of young children and their families.

Let’s be clear:

If the government can arrest, detain, and disappear peaceful protestors, none of us are free.

That’s not law and order. It’s fascism. And we should all be outraged that this is being done in our name.

She also bakes without recipes and binge-watches cartoons. She is our colleague & she was abducted on the street w/ our tax $.

My annual psych internship rant, now with even more 🔥. The pre-PhD internship is an outdated model that devalues the expertise psych students bring. Now, we may be requiring students to move to unsafe cities and unstable positions, during a stage when healthcare and reproductive rights are critical.

Don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes and call the CFPB “woke and weaponized.”

The CFPB fights overdraft and junk fees, goes after lenders that target servicemembers with predatory loans, and has returned $20 billion to Americans.

This is a giveaway to scammers & crooks.
