The UNT Psychology Department is hosting a Spring Open House, April 18th at 7 PM EST/6 PM CST. Information about how to register is below!

Dr. Levin-Aspenson is a valued and well-respected member of our department. This guy tried to call our dean to ask for her to be 'educated about the implications of (her) behavior,' which from what I understand is liking tweets that are critical of his behavior. Ridiculous.

The Center for Psychosocial Health Disparities Research at UNT (disparities.unt.edu) is looking to hire 2 Program Project Specialists to coordinate 2 federally funded projects related to the mission of the center:

I wonder how many of the right wing complaints about academia are like this. The dispute was a small part of the paper, and not something the paper could even address. Hard to do science with collaborators who throw around accusations like this.

Our NIMH funded study has finally launched. Participants will be recruited from in and around the DFW metroplex.
