Our paper 'Carving Stories at Their Natural Joints' is out in Psychological Review (@apajournals.bsky.social). It means a lot to me, especially because I got to collaborate with many researchers from different disciplines whose work I truly admire.

As an undergrad, I RA'd in a genomics lab working with nematodes. My training could have been ... better. For months I pulled PCR tubes out of lab's central storage boxes with bare hands until a horrified lab technician pointed out that other groups using those tubes sequence human DNA.

#OnThisDay in 1861, Charles Darwin wrote to his friend, "But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything." 📜🧪

A line of Charles Darwin's handwriting in brown ink on cream paper, with faint writing showing through from the other side of the page. It reads: "But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything."

Hey fieldworkers! Do you need documentation (health & safety protocols, codes of conduct, feedback forms)? Do you have documentation that you think could help others do better fieldwork, but don’t know where to share it? We’ve got you covered in our new Fieldwork Repo! osf.io/4h7bu/overview

On a walk at lunch, popped into a charity store. Was thinking about needing a nice blazer for teaching. Found something 100% cotton, clearly never worn, for £45. Walked to the local seamstress to have the sleeves tailored. She revealed the blazer is easily worth £400. Farrkk! I got lucky today!
