In the fall I shared about one of the most painful experiences of my academic career, which was having an editor ask me to revise perceived political content in a paper that had been accepted for publication. In my last communication with the journal, I told them we would not make the changes.

Got the opportunity to talk about the peer mindset context and which peers might be particularly influential to STEM undergrad's motivation at AERA 2026 last weekend! Thanks to @utkucaybas.bsky.social @allahemi.bsky.social for putting together such a diverse and interesting symposium.

Honored to receive the Paul R. Pintrich Memorial Award from @aera-motsig.bsky.social at #AERA2026 for my dissertation study examining how peer socialization shapes math motivation. Grateful to my mentors, research assistants, and all the participants who made this study possible.

As #AERA2026 approaches, here’s my schedule! Excited to be co-organizing a symposium on peer relations & motivation, including one of my dissertation papers examining how peer relations shape students’ math motivation over time. Looking forward to the conversations in LA!

SOGIE Caucus members led a #transgenderdayofremembrance (TDOR) Ceremony at the National Council on Family Relations conference. TDOR is an annual observance to honor the memory of transgender individuals lost to violence. In honor of TDOR, please share encouragement and moments of trans joy

Happy #AERA2026 decision day to all who celebrate! May your day be a happy one, either because of or despite your results! On a separate note, thanks again to all who submitted such excellent work and who worked hard to review for @aera-motsig.bsky.social —I see you and I GREATLY appreciate you! ❤️

So excited to make our BlueSky debut to highlight two excellent graduate student researchers, presenting at #SCIPIE2025! 🤩

New publication! 🤓 This experience sampling study examines how motivational regulation and cost predict students’ momentary motivational conflicts and emotions.

🎓 Today, I had the chance to speak with future teachers and researchers at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Education about why and how to prepare for graduate studies. It was truly special to return as a speaker to the faculty I once graduated from!

Session starts in about an hour! 📚 If you're looking for a session to join, our roundtable is at Four Seasons Ballroom 2-3, Table 4. #AERA2025

A thread about being wrong: 5 years ago, we wrote a paper about how how newly enfranchised 16-year-olds vote in Austria. But we were wrong. This year, @elisabethgraf.bsky.social, @schnizzl.bsky.social, Sylvia Kritzinger and I are setting the record straight: authors.elsevier.com/c/1juT5xRaZk...

Thread, scroll down. The Bluesky migration is yet another reminder that, without intentional efforts to prevent it from doing so, inequality will resurface in new spaces.

1: The way this has happened is such a good example of how inequities happen IRL. This is my perception, happy for data to prove me wrong but when the migration started it seemed like there were more White people (from the US) than other groups.  As more people went on the platform, and they got
