I consider myself an interdisciplinary scientist. A post on LinkedIn challenged the idea that we should mentor our students to be more interdisciplinary. Here are my thoughts on what that means in my new APS Presidential column. www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Is Interdisciplinary Science Worth It?

"You don't want scholars answering to two or more disciplines. You want them to enrich and integrate their own discipline with ideas drawn from others."

In this new preprint, @jocelynricard.bsky.social argues for a more intentional and principled approach to the measurement of neighborhood-level effects on brain development. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

And so after a very brief hiatus, version 0.7.0 of "learning statistics with R" exists. Full rebuild in quarto, stylistic fixes, "epilogues from 2026" to comment on how the world changed since original publication, and as an added bonus, no longer misgenders the author learningstatisticswithr.com

Last call: the early bird registration deadline for the IMBES 2026 conference is TOMORROW July 3, 2026. Don't miss our conference with speaker lineup including Tzipi Horowitz-Kraus, Jason Yeatman, and Dana Miller-Cotto. The conference starts at 3pm on Sep 2 and ends by 6pm on Sep 4 🧠🌴

As of today, I'm officially an Assistant Professor at the University of California Davis! I'm so excited to be joining the Department of Psychology and the Center for Mind and Brain, and I'm looking forward to getting settled into the new lab and embarking on a lot of fun new research this year

PSA for trainees cold emailing with interest in joining a lab: Be careful about your use of LLMs in writing these emails!! It is now *extremely* common to get emails with a bizarrely-detailed, clearly-LLM take on a paper finding or with specific phrases pulled from the lab website. Don’t do this!

Excited to be editing a Developmental Science special issue on Culture, Context, and Brain Development with Heather Bortfeld, Laura Katus, and Bruce Rawlings. Seeking papers from diverse contexts using novel approaches! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal... Please share!

Getting the word out on NIH scoping changes announced yesterday at ASHEcon. As noted on June 8th by the NIH Director, Jay Bhattacharya, grants should not be geared toward policymakers but toward stakeholders who directly benefit from NIH researchers:

In a meta-analysis of 210 biomedical AI studies that statistically compared models under cross-validation, 97% used invalid statistical tests. Here's our new preprint doi.org/10.64898/202... led by @tianchu.bsky.social @hetuli.bsky.social @shaoshiz.bsky.social @nichols.bsky.social 1/N
