Get tenure at a fancy R1, become a full professor, mentor and see at least 20 PoCs/LGBT folks get TT jobs, then leave the R1 and end my years doing research at an HBCU mentoring there.

While talking with a senior black faculty member, they were able to count the *exact* number of current full professor Black faculty in the field of social psychology. On two hands. Using just their fingers. It’s been blowing my mind these past few days.

Shout out to all the teachers who've had just a few days to transform their entire syllabus into something that works online. And shout out to all the teachers who've been accommodating & advocating for students who don't have access to the internet at home. We appreciate yall.

Can we just agree that no one needs to apologize during COVID-19? If you have kids at home stuck in isolation, YOU DON'T NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR GETTING BACK TO PEOPLE "LATE"!! The fact you answered at all is miraculous. Same thing for folks caring for parents/partners/themselves

1/ One thing astronauts have to be good at: living in confined spaces for long periods of time. Find yourself in a similar scenario? Here are some pro tips...a thread.

Today someone reached out to me saying they were aspiring to a "Kiera level mentorship" in their new faculty position. And it surprised me because everything I've learned about mentorship I learned from Jenessa early in my career, meaning I don't think I do anything special.

New paper! Using IATs, we found a robust implicit association between brilliance/genius and men (vs. women) everywhere we looked: women & men, adults & kids, across different regions of the US & internationally 👇👇👇 PDF: drive.google.com/file/d/1n7VYaY… OSF: osf.io/8xzek/?view_on…
