Finished listening to this audiobook on my daily walk today and it was great! I found it informative, empowering & inspirational, and I’m leaving the book with some actionable strategies to treat & prevent burnout. One that I’ve been particularly enjoying is gratitude practice. 💕

#psychsky I have an unprecedented amount of recommendation letters to write this fall, many with a Dec 1 due date. But one of my students received this warning from PsyCAS that materials need to be submitted *2 weeks* ahead of the due date so they can be verified. Have others heard of this change?!

Excited for the Play it Forward conference today in Philadelphia! 🎉 I use playful learning landscapes in my upper-level class for undergraduates. I’m eager to learn more about these great projects that integrate playful learning into everyday spaces.

I brought back French macarons from Paris for my wonderful departmental colleagues. Does this count as departmental service? ☺️

I’m in Paris for a week! 🇫🇷 My friend & I are eating crêpes, going to museums, shopping & exploring the city. The highlight today was going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. What a beautiful city! 🤩

For years, I’ve struggled with using ruby scripts to export observational coding data from Datavyu. But I am finally getting the hang of it! 🎉 Also I highly recommend having your scripts tell you that you’re amazing - it’s a nice confidence boost. ☺️

In 2022, Gabrielle Strouse & I gratefully received an NIH R15 grant to study grandparent-grandchild interactions over video chat. We've completed our study with 186 triads participating & today is the last day of our grant funding! We'll be presenting and publishing from this dataset for years. 🎉

Super interesting & well done talk by @yukomunakata.bsky.social to cap off #SRCD25. Executive function is not a static cognitive ability “in the head” of children, but rather is influenced adaptively by environment, habits, and culture.

Not impressed by the coffee options (and long lines) in the Minneapolis Convention Center for #SRCD25? There’s a Caribou coffee a 7 min walk away at 11th & Nicolette. ☕️

En route to #SRCD25! First up tomorrow, the Teaching Institute pre-conference. I’ve been attending it since 2009 and always get good teaching ideas there. 😊

Final grades submitted! 🎉 In celebration of winter break, I am immersing myself in the ACOTAR series! Thinking of switching to the dramatized adaptation of the audiobook though… #BookSky
