I love having an "ah ha" moment where I can suddenly fix my code but I also hate when the fix was so simple that I feel like I was wasting time

This is a cute perceptual illusion

Today I found out google docs and microsoft word do not calculate word count the same way (e.g. google says four-year-old is 3 words vs. word says it is 1).

New manuscript based on my masters thesis! “Parents’ approaches to numeracy support: what parents do is rarely what they think is most important” Check it out; frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Congrats to my mentor and friend Ashli-Ann Douglas for publishing her dissertation paper! You are a rockstar that I aspire to be one day! Check out the paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…"

One key finding here was girls were more interested in STEM than boys when expanding to include medical careers as STEM! How we conceptualize STEM matters for discussing gender gaps in STEM

Thrilled for #AERA2024 and honored to chair the symposium on "Broadening Our Understanding of Early Math Support at Home and at School"! Looking forward to engaging discussions and learning from the groundbreaking research presented. Can't wait to connect with fellow researchers!

My masters thesis is now in press at CEP! We used SEVT to explore whether math motivation profiles in 6th and 10th grade predicted math test scores and STEM career aspirations concurrently and longitudinally in a sample of Black students mostly surviving economic marginalization.

Vanderbilt still has a lot of work to do, especially for Peabody. That’s why I signed an authorization card for Vanderbilt Graduate Workers United (VGWU)! vanderbilthustler.com/2024/03/08/doc…

It's Q&A time everybody! We are hosting a Q&A time in Alumni Hall's Grad Lounge from 11 am to 12 pm today. Come in to ask us anything you like about VGWU, and what it would mean for you to organize with us as a Vandy grad student!

Starting now in Philadelphia convention center 112b! “Broadening our understanding of early math support at home and at school” with Ashli-Ann Douglas Alex Silver @alexsilverlevy.bsky.social @DrBeltranGrimm and Jiwon Ban

Exciting new publication out now! Knowing what they know: Preschool teachers’ knowledge of math skills a... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📢 I'll be on the 2024-25 postdoc market! My research aims to improve students' math cognition/learning, and considers students' metacognition and motivation. Please keep me in mind if you hear of any opportunities. Here’s my website: rebeccamadler.com

“The impact of brief information-based interventions on the home math environment” is out now! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S01…

Cool work happening in our lab!

Hello! I am excited to share that I am seeking postdoc research opportunities for Fall 2026. I aim to understand early math development, children’s early learning, and family engagement, with broad interests in developmental psych. DM or email at [email protected]
