It felt like a long shot but my submission to chair a symposium at the Society for Research in Psychopathology Meeting was accepted! ✨ I’m super excited to discuss how complementarity, or how people match in interactions, can help us understand the context in which personality pathology manifests ☺️

I presented my first two symposiums this summer at @psychscience.bsky.social and @arpposts.bsky.social, the first of which I chaired! 🎉🎉 But I’m still learning a lot about science dissemination in these settings. What are your go-to tips/strategies for presenting at/attending research conferences?

Finished my 1st year of my PhD program! 🎉🎉 Definitely a challenging year but it’s been so exciting and rewarding to fully engage with research, teach my first class, and mentor several young scientists. Many thanks to my cohort for all the support this year!
