Feeling very bamboozled by the complexity of applying for my initial psychology license across different states. It really doesn't need to be this hard

Cutting from a manuscript to meet journal word limits can be such a soul-crushing task. All of these words are my babies 😭

We need broad education rich in the humanities AND the sciences for EVERYBODY. We should be pushing that in our vision for the future or whatever exists of it moving forward. Stop letting the tech bros bully you out of your intellectual rights or your civil ones for that matter.

This is what we are robbing our own students of when we are pushing ai in the classroom. What have allowed conservatives to rob young students of. We are trying to fill the deficits of a lack of social science education with ai but it’s only going to make the problem worse.

In cognitive science, sociology and psychology, I learned about things like societal structures, how the brain/mind works, all the years and different psychological theories etc. These are the things that we lose and have lost when the social sciences are systematically unfounded.

I want to give a special shoutout to @library.cmu.edu for allowing me to maintain alumni access. If my current institutions don't have access to certain articles/databases, I know I could always count on you 😘

Getting an R&R on a manuscript is always nice when the reviewer feedback is positive with very helpful suggestions to strengthen it 😊

A student interaction yesterday made me consider the fact that in all the talk of why Black boys don’t go to college this week, I didn’t see anyone asking what those college classrooms are missing because Black boys aren’t in them. The negative impact of the systemic failure is not one-sided.

Happy #APPIC Match Day to all the trainees who matched in phase 2! It’s important to note over half of P2 applicants did not secure an internship, let alone an APA accredited spot, and truly speaks to the major problems with the current APPIC system that need to be improved for trainees.

Two years ago I did not match in #APPIC Phase I at the end of an already sucky week. If you're looking for someone's experience, I shared mine. Not matching brings up a lot of feelings and potentially doubt. I got through the process knowing that I was not alone. youtu.be/e2qq16xUGns

Today our #BlackMagicalHistory spotlight is pointed toward academia. Henry Louis Gates has made a career of bringing the contributions of Black America to the forefront. Have you been watching his @pbs.org The Great Migration docuseries? What Black academic inspires you?
A photo of professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. in a golden star frame on a dark purple background. The text reads "Henry Louis Gates, Jr is a professor and filmmaker whose work mostly focuses on the Black American experience. While Gates is most well known for combining genealogy and genetic DNA research in Finding Your Roots on PBS, he has published numerous books and produced several documentary programs that have chronicled the Black Church, Gospel music, and The Great Migration."

The thing about “RFK is right about some things” that is bugging aside from everting else everyone has already said is that this is exactly how pseudoscience and other misinformation works. It’s literally a bunch of garbage with a little kernel of truth. By saying he right about x you legitimize
