"I have good work-life balance. I only work like 50-60 hours a week." Spoken by a friend, a true GenX -er. How would you define work-life balance? #AcadmicSky #PsySciSky #DevSciSky

Took off my reading glasses & could NOT see computer screen. Freaked out about bad up close vision. I guess my eyes must be really really tired. And then remembered that 20 minutes prior I took out my contacts and was not wearing reading glasses, just my regular glasses. For my 20/220 vision!

Someone just told me to have a good weekend and I think that is evidence of the burnout we are all feeling (I confess I did look at my calendar hopefully).

Would you like free feedback on your academic CV? My grad seminar is looking for a few academic CVs to workshop. Must be in HDFS, Dev Psych, or adjacent fields. If chosen, I will also provide my own detailed feedback to you. Please reply or DM me if interested. #DevPsych #DevSci #PsychSciSky

Yes. I got Ph.D. In Dev psych in 98 and that is what we read and learned. People still debate which is more important for certain things but few would say it’s absolutely one or the other only.

Thanks! We did find it but are not sure about proper citations for these.

Eva Lefkowitz @evalefkowitz.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

We haven't responded yet, and we may send the paper elsewhere, but we are trying to figure out how to accurate cite these sources moving forward since the goal of citation is to provide others with information to be able to find the source.

Eva Lefkowitz @evalefkowitz.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

We have a paper that was returned because the citations were incorrect - because we cited CDC data that are no longer on the website. How are others handling this? Are you using extracted/archived data? How are you citing it? #DevelopmentalPsychology #psychology #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky

1st, Learning & Memory: "Retrieval is a potent learning event." Bob Bjork repeated it so much it became a joke - one we kept retrieving to make the joke. Not my research , but it affects how I teach, how I advise students to learn, and how I try to learn myself. 2/2 #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #DevPsy

Good point. I ended up answering the one question I comfortably could, and telling them I wasn't comfortable answering those questions to a middle schooler I didn't know personally, but if they shared their teacher's email address I could contact them. I never heard back.

Eva Lefkowitz @evalefkowitz.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Me: I’m glad I’m not in charge of anything right now where people are expecting answers and reassurance from me when it’s hard enough to keep it together myself. Also me: oh right.

Eva Lefkowitz @evalefkowitz.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

That’s basically what I did. And offered to send answers to their teacher if they shared their teacher’s email address. No response as yet.

110

Eva Lefkowitz @evalefkowitz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Good point. I think my hesitation is that it's not clear that providing such information to middle schoolers is even legal in every state right now. In the end I said I wasn't comfortable answering 3 of the 4 questions directly, but if they sent their teacher's contact info I would send to them.

Eva Lefkowitz @evalefkowitz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Thank you so much for sharing this!

Eva Lefkowitz @evalefkowitz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Good question. I did think about this, but they said their assignment was to ask an expert, so it felt like a bit of a cop-out to just say, see here. In the end I said I wasn't comfortable answering 3 of the 4 questions directly, but if they sent their teacher's contact info I would send to them.

A middle school student emailed me w/questions about teen pregnancy and pregnancy prevention. I started to answer and then started to worry I was being targetted to see if I would write about sex ed to an unknown teenager. What would you do? Especially in 2025? #AcademicSky #devpsysky #SexEducation

Just learned via @srcdorg.bsky.social that Clancy Blair passed away last month. He, Dena Swanson, and I started at @pennstateHDFS the same year and he was a huge support to me at the time. What a loss to the community. www.srcd.org/memoriam-cla... #PsychSciSky #devpsych

I know. I am unsophisticated - so many people love it. I couldn't get into it. Maybe it's better to read with your eyes, but who even has that kind of time? Later I LOL'ed when reading truly escapist fiction, a character says he gave up 2/3 way through Wolf Hall.
