Great piece by Dana Bakula, PhD @alex_psihogios & colleagues - "by addressing gender-specific barriers to submitting K award applications, we hope to increase the number of women K awardees and support the scientific advancement of pediatric psychology."

We published pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32646963/. Glad peds psych is also addressing this important issue.

Important work in Journal of Pediatric Psychology to address ongoing barriers for women in science as well the system-level and individual-level recommendations to guide change. So proud to know three of these impressive women. Congrats Carolyn R. Bates, PhD, Amy Heard Egbert, Ph.D. , @alex_psihogios 👏🏽 #ThisIsPedPsych

Never forget that toddlers reflect the words, actions, and attitudes of their caregivers. What does this morning greeting tell you about this classroom?

Big meta-analytic findings!!! The GRE’s ability to predict graduate outcomes has decreased significantly over time as the diversity of graduate students has increased. Predictive value also decreases as samples include more People of Color. dx.doi.org/10.1080/002215…

“To really do comprehensive [weight management] care, we have to treat the system.” -Dr. Amy Beck, PhD (Amy R. Beck, PhD, RYT 200) It’s time to take action! One thing you can do TODAY is visit obesityaction.org/troa and urge your state’s legislatures to support the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act.

Mark your calendars #SBM2023!

Thrilled to be interviewed for Rhode Island PBS Weekly to talk about how eating disorders don't fit a stereotype. Such an important conversation that I'm thankful Rhode Island PBS Weekly is featuring!

In response to emails and calls: I am indeed proudly Baptist and look forward to proudly signing into law later today Kansas City's declaration that it will be a safe haven in Missouri for trans rights. We love all and welcome all.

In case you missed it: Women are less likely to be credited for their scientific contributions than men. It’s true across multiple fields & at all stages, with important repercussions for career progress. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #MedTwitter nature.com/articles/s4158…

Learned so much about intervention development and testing in a few short days at #OrbitInstitute2023! Grateful to learn from so many exceptional behavioral scientists.
