Resolved (mostly)! If other folks are having timing issues on Pavlovia, downgrading to 2024.1.4 fixed it for me.

New Paper! 📣 Have you ever had a clear understanding of your emotions, but you still couldn't seem to stop ruminating on them? In a sample of adolescents, @lisastarr.bsky.social and I looked at emotion differentiation, emotion regulation (traits and behavior), and brooding. 🧵 1/4

Proud to share that my student @amycarolus.bsky.social received an NSF GRFP! This would be thrilling in any year, but especially in 2025, w only 1000 apps funded (<50 in psych by my count). It's inspiring to see trainees overcome scary odds. Keep an eye on Amy; she'll be banging out stellar science!
