My favorite part of being in developmental psychology is writing the - objectively goofy - word "toddler" in very serious documents.

Anyone who has ever gotten an NIH review knows that NIH review is extremely rigorous---arguably, rigorous to a fault, because there isn't enough money to fund all the amazing research being done, so you basically have to guarantee it will succeed to get funded. That's not how science should work.
Republican Senator Katie Britt: We need to create a system "where the beat idea wins... This is our opportunity to make a dollar go further and to make it have a greater impact."
(NIH already generates $2.56 for every $1 spent it spends on research.)

There are two schools of developmental psychologists:
The ones who say “kiddo” 800x a day and the ones who hate the word “kiddo” with a passion, and they share grad students.

I’ve worked for weeks on this one, having conversations with 15+ people about changes to U.S. science funding, what actions they’re taking, if protesting is effective, & more. I’m thankful to those individuals & the eight neuroscientists who are featured for sharing their stories.
