Thanks to Association for Psychological Science for doing profiles like this of former APS 'rising stars' who later became APS fellows. I'm grateful to be part of APS and to get to engage in psychological science as a career.

Wow! We wrote about one consequence of proliferation like this (in law). Really impressed with these treemap plots to visualize the proliferation issue.

Self-doubt stops too many women from applying for jobs.

After clearing the bar for expert-level work, 92% of men applied—but only 50% of women did.

It shouldn't matter whether you feel qualified. That's for the employer to judge. If you're interested, put your hat in the ring.

My paper 'When and How to Deviate from a Preregistration' is now in press at Collabra: Psychology. I sincerely hope it will help people to 1) transparently report deviations from their preregistration, and 2) carefully evaluate the consequences of each deviation.

I survived! My stomach was unhappy, but the session was very fun and I loved hearing the panelists’ info. Thanks to Anthony Perillo, Ph.D. (bsky = anthonyperillo) and Jeff Kukucka for orchestrating this “hot ones” session! My kiddo suggests that next year there be a “sour ones” session. <3

Kudos to Emily Line for the Outstanding Student Presentation in Novel-Topic Research award, for research on a topic not traditionally studied in law & psychology. #APLS2024 #CLJlab

I think that all four of these projects are really cool and we're very excited to share our findings with everyone :)

We have an editorial search committee formed (which I am on) and are finalizing a Call for Proposals which will hopefully be released soon! My understanding is that APS will release an announcement around the same time providing an update.

Just wrapped up what I hope will be a final manuscript from a great collaboration. Getting to this point has been a marathon: pandemic (with littles) was a major hurdle that slowed us down. But we finished! I'm proud of and excited about this work. #Grateful #SlowAndSteady
