New preproof 🧠 What happens to the social brain in youth with high callous-unemotional #CUtraits as they age into adolescence? We tracked ~12,000 kids in ABCD across 4 timepoints, ages 9–18, looking at the tri-network model (DMN, SN, FPN) 🔗https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsgos.2026.100756

For a while, folks have asked me about older psyc job market numbers, and how they might reflect the 2008 financial crisis. I've finally been able to put together some numbers to reflect that (below) though the raw estimates come with some important interpretational caveats 🧵👇

Where did this year's #psychjobs market end up? Thanks to an unusually high number late postings, not as bad as it was looking earlier in the year. Still, this is the smallest number of jobs posted since 2012, representing a 26% decline from last year (~2/3rds the size of the covid drop in 2020).

Future Directions in the Science and Practice of Parental Monitoring

In 1989, five teenage boys were wrongfully convicted of the rape of a jogger in Central Park. Today marks 23 years since DNA evidence helped free Exonerated Five. Their legacy continues to resonate across media, government and policy reform. Read: https://bit.ly/491s1j7

The Enduring Legacy of the Exonerated Five

What began as one of New York’s most infamous cases of wrongful conviction now stands as a testament to survival, solidarity, and systemic change.

So excited to see this published for all to read - important work coming from a post-bacc in our lab @UCSD exploring the pitfalls of extant research, measures, and even clinical guidance re. #parental #rules, very cool stuff to think on & further expand on doi.org/10.1007/s108...

14-16 year olds can now work overnight shifts in Florida, with 16 year olds being able to do so on school nights. Its hard to believe that parents would vote for a guy who strips away their children's education and puts them in full time work conditions.

@amyfettig.bsky.social @anthonyperillo.bsky.social @istudytrust.bsky.social We need to hold institutions accountable. White ppl ignoring police harm->ongoing harm. A small group standing up can make a difference. Powerful ppl try to stay invulnerable, vulnerability gets displaced to ppl w/less power

one of my favorite parts of #APLS2025 so far

BREAKING: Starting at 6 pm today and through tomorrow, the U.S. Department of Education offices and regional offices will be closed “for security reasons.” Multiple sources shared the email to employees — which doesn’t explain more. Do you have info? Let me + @jsmithrichards.bsky.social know.

In order to protect students from antisemitism at Columbia, the administration (advised by not one but two people who did a Nazi salute this year) is freezing support for students to learn science.

Jeremy Berg@jeremymberg.bsky.social · 2y ago

I have confirmation from several sources now that all T32s, many F30s and F31s, and most or all Center awards (P30, P50) have been terminated at Columbia. This is quite damaging to research and to individuals. This is pure terrorism and cannot be legal. But litigation will take time...

How can we rebuild trust in psychology, law, and institutions? Join us for the Friday Plenary, where Drs. Fettig, Hamm, Perillo, and Neal will discuss the erosion of public confidence in government and legal systems and ways to restore faith in justice. #TrustInJustice #PsychologyAndLaw #apls2025

I can’t believe this needs to be said. TransGENIC mice are not TransGENDER mice

During Occupy Wall Street in 2011, there was a grassroots campaign to #MoveYourMoney from big banks to credit unions. I heeded the call a few years later, in 2014, moving my money from a corporate bank to a credit union, with zero regrets. Today, I’m still a proud member of a credit union.

YK Hong@ykhong.bsky.social · 2y ago

I highly recommend that people shift to a credit union or local bank if you have not already done so. Corporate banks are precisely corporations whose sole function purpose is to profit off of you. They do not exist to help you with anything whatsoever. Move your money.

Too cool! Can't wait to read!
