As a writer I try to remember that the fact that something annoys me personally does not necessarily make that thing important enough to write about

Several academic luminaries have pigeon poop on their heads at #SAA2026 at the University of Vienna (I got my selfie with Freud)

I'm excited to announce that I will be reviewing graduate student applications for Fall 2027 admissions! I review applications in both the Personality, Development, and Health and the Clinical Science (Weinberg) programs.

This NPR story highlights the cost of overlooking women in ADHD research. The consequences are real. A separate study found postpartum anxiety in 25% of women with ADHD (vs. 5% without ADHD) and postpartum depression in 17% (vs. 3.3%). We can’t improve women’s health if we don’t study it.

For decades, ADHD was viewed as a childhood condition that mostly affected boys. Researchers now know ADHD manifests differently in girls, but many still go undiagnosed until adulthood.

Heading to the airport in a few hours. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s interesting work at #SAA2026 starting Monday!

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates

The first official data on the effectiveness of Australia's social media ban is out. Nothing unexpected, but it's worth reading. www.esafety.gov.au/research/soc...

Pete has some great observations in this 🧵 on the latest data from the Australia teen social media ban. I will only add: The people who predicted teens would move to Pinterest were right! Usage of most platforms is stable or down a bit, but Pinterest went up about 30% 🫠

The data report from the first three months of the Australian social media ban has now been released: www.esafety.gov.au/research/soc... Some thoughts:

New blog post! Odds ratios are...a bit weird. Here I explain two problems (interpretation, non-collapsibility) and provide some simple recommendations for improved reporting. www.the100.ci/2026/07/30/r...

Prominent researchers in my field spent over 2 decades telling big stories about the relation between brain & mental health with very little robust data. This has led to really crazy stuff like this, impossible if we had not normalized this bizarre storytelling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

A scientist says he can scan prisoners’ brains for signs of evil. Did his disputed science put a man on death row?

Kent Kiehl convinced the US legal system he can find violence in prisoners’ brains. His theories have been since used by defense lawyers – with grave consequences for prisoners

Papers with publicly available peer-review reports are less likely to be retracted than are those without public reports, a new study has found. My latest for @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/d41... @aidybarnett.bsky.social, @jeroenson.bsky.social, @jessicapolka.bsky.social

Come quick! The classicists are fighting!

Anyone who has written a successful VICI proposal — would you share it with me per email, confidentially? Thanks a lot for considering.

So hey, some of you might be interested to know that @carleton.ca has a robust Classics program (Greek and Roman studies) offering undergraduate degrees! Come to Ottawa and apply your Odyssey-themed fan-rage-thusiasm toward an academic credential 🎓

Greek and Roman Studies - College of the Humanities

The world of the ancient Greeks and Romans stretched from Britain to the deserts of North Africa and from Spain to Afghanistan, encompassing the entire coastline of the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

Developmental psychopathology friends: I'm taking over and totally revamping our course for Spring – help me build a kick-ass reading list - what are your favorite recent review/perspectives articles? Self-promotions welcome! 🙏

Well THIS was GREAT. Tom Hiddleston is so freaking *earnest* and all the real live scientists are just trying so hard to sound natural doing their scripted lines, I loved it I love you all 👏👏👏

Another nice review of #PompeiiOutOfTime, this time from @variety.com variety.com/2026/tv/news...

This utter muppet of a conservative Canadian politician in New Brunswick forgot to remove the LLM text from his floor speech and read it out loud.
