The Peer Lab is growing!! I am reviewing apps for a School Psychology PhD student at the University of South Carolina this cycle (Fall '27 admission)! If you’re interested in adolescent social relationships, mental health, and/or program development I encourage you to apply! thepeerlab.com

Excited to finally announce: I’m heading south this fall to start as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in School Psychology at the University of South Carolina! So grateful for my incredible support network. Lab website loading (and the apartment is still in boxes) - but spurs are already up 🤙🐔❤️!

Necessary research. Ive been watching this phenomenon happen since around 2015 (?) and it has been wild seeing papers that read like longish posts on Der Sturmer (especially shit on race and IQ and race and violence, etc) seek and acquire a simulacrum of legitimacy this way.

Investing in school mental health staff can have a large impact on student well-being. Learning at a young age that adults are present and care can fundamentally change students' relationship to seeking mental health care in the future. The adults in the room really set the tone for youth!

@randimschuster.bsky.social and I are editing an Issue of @apajournals.bsky.social @scpdiv12.bsky.social on a topic that feels increasingly relevant: Non-Clinical Providers to Support Equitable Access to Youth Mental Health Care Abstracts due March 3! www.apa.org/pubs/journal...

Call for papers: The role of non-clinical providers in expanding equitable access to effective youth mental health care

A call for papers for APA journal Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice. This special issue seeks to feature a selected set of papers that address the role of non-clinical providers in promoting youth mental health and wellness across the continuum of mental health need from prevention to treatment services.

Longitudinal research is the key to understanding mental health, but it can pose challenges to youth privacy and autonomy. By adding 7 “silly” questions (think: eye color, birth month, etc.) to routine school screeners, we can link and track symptoms over time - no ID required!

When I started in research as a career, I knew that success would be measured in productivity. What I *didn't* expect was how much predatory journal content there actually would be (on a near-daily basis).

The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on? direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... A 🧵 1/n #AcademicSky #PhDchat #ScientificPublishing #SciPub
