    Got really tired of seeing Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model illustrated only w/ white boys. So we made a new (prettier) version centering Black girls. Please RT & share in your psych classes! Full article on #attachment & #antiracism is open access: doi.org/10.1080/146167…

    Can we talk about the simultaneous desire to feel connected to people but also to be left the hell alone? Is there a word for this feeling?

    Because I study kids, I'm going to take your Q further back in development: In elementary school I (like many other kids) would say I had a stomachache when I was anxious about going to school. It starts young.

    Aspirations for academics: a 🧵(1/4) 1. May your heart be bigger than your h-index 2. May you peer review others' work the way you wish to be peer reviewed (the Golden Rule/don't be Reviewer 2) 3. May you never forget what it's like to be a struggling grad student (or postdoc)

    Delighted to share that I'm coming home to California to teach at my alma mater @pomonacollege as a TT Assistant Professor of Psychological Science this Fall!🎉 This is my dream job—a way to give back to the place that nurtured me as a young scholar. A word of gratitude🧵

    On Friday I learned that a student in my class passed away. Today UVA is under shelter in place with an active shooter. And when it's safe, I have to talk to my students about both tragedies💔 Trauma-informed colleagues... any guidance for supporting students through this?

    Hey @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics: with all the stuff on your plate, how do you make time for the “deep work” — reading, reflecting, imagining, or diving into a new literature?

    There are multiple paths to success as a postdoc. From my experience: 1. Seek out good mentors 2. Find collaborators you love working with 3. Create community outside of work 4. Give back; do what's meaningful 5. Network within AND beyond academia 6. Be kind—to yourself & others

    If you're teaching a developmental psychology or neuroscience class this Fall, this is my favorite quote to share with students: "One generation full of deeply loving parents would change the brain of the next generation, and with that, the world." - @DrCharlesRaison
