Celebrating the 50th year anniversary of the APA Minority Fellowship Program at the American Psychological Association Convention with my Psychology Summer Institute cohort! Such an amazing event and great to be part of it. #APA2024 #MFPPSI2024 #MFPFamily

Was so happy to see and hug you all! 💗 amazing to see the reach of the APA Minority Fellowship Program at the Social Hour! #APA2024

Feeling so lucky to have had the best PhD advisor ever Anna Lau 🥹 whose more advanced mentees have always taken me under their wings 🪽such a wonderful time celebrating Dr. Lau’s National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) award with Dr. Miya Barnett last night! #PNW #APA2024 nothing but pure love & support!

Had an amazing time being a discussant for the first time! Big thanks for the invite Elayne Zhou, M.S. ☺️#APA2024

I was elected DIS-SIG social media chair 🎉 Decided to get a head start on my personal account with DIS-SIG members representing at #APA2024 Society of Clinical Psychology (APA Div. 12) social hour! loved to see some folks since I missed ABCT last year ☺️ Kelsie H Okamura

Seizing the #APA2024 momentum to do my first plug that I will be accepting a PhD student this cycle at the University of Oregon Clinical Psychology program! A lab website is coming very soon out but check out my faculty page to start! ☺️ cas.uoregon.edu/directory/psyc…

No 1 prepares you for the absolute headache that is the licensure application paperwork for clinical psychologists especially when you start in 1 state & a job takes you to another 😵‍💫 As a field, we need to find a way to make this less frustrating & confusing 😐 #AcademicChatter

Super proud of this work! Great citation for 💸 funding youth MH services & 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 EBPs in the community too! hopefully more collaborations to come w/ Dr. Kimberly Hoagwood Jonathan Purtle Katie Nelson, PhD, MPH 😀

I came across this perfect patito at faculty orientation to commemorate the transition from a Bruin 🐻 to a Duck 🦆! Let’s goooo Professor Wright!! Super excited & grateful I remain on the qtr system 😂 #AcademicChatter

I may have a vendetta against the new Elsevier | Mendeley lol we need an automatic option to merge all duplicates 😅

Who is going to NLPA ?! It’s shockingly my first time! ¡Ojalá los veo ahí! #NLPA2024

Had a great time at my first AHSR Conference Helpful discussion w folks about my findings from state & federal policy actors on optimizing federal grants for EBP implementation success! Sad I couldn’t stay longer! thanks for supporting ☺️ Alex Dopp PhD

Highlights from AHSR Conference were definitely the workshops!! I learned so much about my emergent interests in cost analysis and digital tool implementation! Very concrete examples that will def help w my application of methods☝🏽great job @AndriaEisman & other presenters!

Was also able to catch a great session on the application of the D&I process model SIC including a great presentation on Oregon substance use policy by Gracelyn Cruden AHSR Conference I hope to be back in future years! ✨

Next up…. #NLPA ☝🏽✨

First lab meeting in the books ✅ 🤩super impressed by my University of Oregon undergrad RAs! 😌 We had a great presentation & rich discussion on the U.S. Surgeon General report on Parent MH - loved to hear them critically examine this landmark report. Take away: cultural context is key!!

Writing a non-fellowship NIH biosketch is so time consuming lol

I think I need to start a Statement of Purpose annual workshop series for Clinical Psych PhD applicants. I think we are really missing the mark with mentoring our postbacc and undergrad RAs on this next step. Let’s even out the playing field.

After 1 year as faculty, I finally launched my lab website! Check out the DIMENSION Group website to learn a bit about what we have been up to! WrightDimension.com Next up: a logo!

Finally on bluesky ! let’s connect 🤝🏽 bsky.app/profile/drblan…
