I'm SO pleased to announce that I'll be starting as an Asst Prof at @psychiowa.bsky.social this August. The lab will focus on neural & computational mechanisms of motivation, affect, & decision-making, with the aspirational goal of translation to neuropsychiatric disorders. 🧠 yeelabneuro.com

Heads up! We are doing two searches this year—for an assistant prof in Clinical Science, and an associate/full prof in any domain of psychology. Want to learn more? Contact the dept chair, Mark Blumberg, at mark-blumberg@uiowa.edu. Ads will be posted soon on our homepage: psychology.uiowa.edu

For our inaugural post on Bluesky, it's fitting to repost a former postdoc's classic exploration of #badsciencedrawings, updated and revised.

Now that we’re on Bluesky, it’s a good time to bring back #badsciencedrawings – a collection of figures that prove that science is more science than art. Before Biorender, all we had was MS Paint and a dream. But ovals, lines, and lightning bolts were all we needed Morales-Botello et al., 2012
