Starting a new chapter, and proud to see the continued impact of programs I helped build — like the first-ever Congressional Hill Day at APS. Designing & leading this initiative was one of the most meaningful parts of my role. When science meets policy with clarity and purpose, change is possible.
Scientists and graduate students press lawmakers to fight research #funding cuts. #SciencePolicy

Honored to have our Program Officer, Dr. Rebecca Pasillas, discuss the power of philanthropy in fueling psychological science at #APS25DC! ✨
This morning at #APS25DC, we dug into how foundations can fuel psychological science beyond federal grants. From U.S.-based work (Russell Sage) to global proposals (APF), both secondary data and new studies are eligible. @psychscience.bsky.social #ResearchFunding #PsychScience #BehavioralScience
The NSF GRFP was cut in half #nationwide and cancelled to @harvard.edu students, as the #agency seeks outside #funding and #program rebranding. This will severely harm the #STEM #workforce and their #science careers. www.science.org/content/arti... @researchamerica.bsky.social @fabbs.org
Will NSF’s flagship training program survive under Trump?
Despite 50 Nobelists and 75,000 alumni, NSF’s graduate research fellows could be a vanishing breed

Language researchers, unite! It was an honor to talk with Dr. Brian MacWhinney—visionary behind the CHILDES database, built in the 1980s long before open science was a movement. If you’ve studied language acquisition, you’ve likely benefited from his groundbreaking, open-access work. #psychology
In the latest #UndertheCortex, Brian MacWhinney, creator of TalkBank, talks with @ozgegurcanli.bsky.social about open-access speech data, AI, and the future of language research.
As a development cognitive scientist, I had so much fun talking to @zsuzsakaldy.bsky.social about children’s memory skills. Tune in to share the joy!
Do kids rely on their memory or turn to external tools like lists? In a new #UndertheCortex episode, @ozgegurcanli.bsky.social talks with @zsuzsakaldy.bsky.social about Kaldy's study on how children balance memory & external aids.
Another fantastic conversation. This time with @ashleylwatts.bsky.social. Spotify link is in the comments. #addiction #psychologyofaddiction #addictivebehavior #underthecortex
Is there a single explanation that accounts for all addictive behaviors, or is the reality more complex? @ashleylwatts.bsky.social explores on a new episode of #UndertheCortex
