Would anyone be interested in a workshop (maybe at ABCT 2026?) with practical instruction on how to work "from in press to impact" (i.e., things you can do to help ensure that your science actually improves society)?

Check out this great new resource from the APA on working with the media. Scientists: your job isn't over when you get to "in press." We need to make sure the word gets out beyond academic journals about what we have learned to make an impact! www.apa.org/research-pra...

As things start to wind down for me at APA, I'm proud of the growth in the focus on science.....and also a growth in scientists at APA! In 2025, APA members include over 30,000 scientists who are actively contributing to the research literature. YAY! Learn more: www.apa.org/science/abou...

I have decided to leave APA at the end of my term. Ultimately, with my kids getting older, and me becoming progressively less cool by the minute, I chose to spend time with them while they would still allow it, and to return to UNC to preserve my tenure. digital.apa.org/releases/pri...

At SRCD pre conference. Where are all the international people??? So much news on cutting funding and how it indeed hurts science. But creating a climate that stifles scholarly discourse hurts science too!

If you believe in truth, then you believe in the science of misinformation!!!! APA's statement here: updates.apaservices.org/misinformation

Just spent two days in London. Upon hearing my accent, 100% of people started talking about Trump and how the entire world has a negative impression of him and the US now. Never had this experience on any trip abroad before. Do folks in America know how poorly he is regarded across the globe?

Here’s what’s needed: Describe how loss of NIH funds is not just affecting the campus, but how does it affect “main street” in your town/community. How does funding affect employment, health care, services, etc off campus? Tell your local and state leaders and/or tag them here!

Troubling: Congresspeople say they are NOT hearing from academics, or university administrators. PLEASE SPEAK UP! Oppose these budget cuts to research, health, student loans! www.votervoice.net/APAAdvocacy/... Tell others to do the same!

Happy to report that APA wrote this letter, gathered a coalition across science, and will now pay for ads for it to be disseminated in Science and Chronicle of Higher Ed to spread the word!! unitedsciencealliance.org

Hey - please help save jobs and lives! Anyone who works at a university, who works on medical research, or could benefit from medical research is at risk! Please tell them to click the link below. Takes 2 seconds, literally. click.info.apa.org?qs=09c745fe0...

Let's be very clear: Gutting science/education sectors and calling it 'cost-savings' is manipulative and false. The truth: People in ALL states will lose jobs, cures for your diagnoses will be delayed, tuition costs will spike. The world depends on US Science and Ed and both will suffer severely.

As the executive branch initiates rapid orders/changes, and agencies scramble to keep up, implement, or pause implementation of each order, clear, fast communication is needed within the psychological community. This new site will have all of the latest updates you need: updates.apaservices.org
