I know Acyn posts direct quotes. But I still had to check Vance actually said that, because this is fucking The Onion copy.

I’d kept a tab of the anniversary music mix themes I’d made for Jen each year as a way to announce pregnancy in 2021. Now that I’ve imported tweets I can keep an annual tab going each anniversary.

Amanda Peet liked the look of my drink at a bar & asked what it was. I told her.

Yes, we have a newborn. Yes, we have visitors every week to meet the baby. Yes, we decided now was perfect to host our entire forensic division for a cookout. Yes, by we I mean I, & Jen agreed bc she’s chill (& maybe a bit sleep-deprived). Anyway the brine has started for Saturday’s feast.

These boops were made for Walken

On a positive note, our baby is less than 2 months old & just received their 1st book from Dolly Parton & her imagination library. As our 3 y/o says every month, Thank you, Dolly Parton, I love you!

My dad loved Robert Park's quote: "It is not enough to wear the mantle of Galileo, that you be persecuted by an unkind establishment. You must also be right." Anyway, our new vaccine panel is a bunch of people who think being panned by the scientific community is a sign of their visionary genius.

This talk was inspiring! Tallie immediately received about 50 requests for the in-progress form her team has developed to guide decisions to report ethically questionable behavior & how. Recording of the talk will be on YouTube w/in the week.

I’m thrilled to share this preprint with a brilliant co-author team. We describe several crises mental health science faces in the current sociopolitical context, as well as new and previously-overlooked opportunities to make non-incremental progress. https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/nz42x_v1

Happy this is out & honored to be a part of it. As the subtitle says, I hope many of us are transitioning in the face of threats to science from crisis mode to reclaiming purpose.

Crises for the field include funding cuts, censorship, DEI dismantling, gaslighting, reactionary centrism, and extreme mindsets. Opportunities we identify include paradigm shifts, dismantling traditional hierarchies, values re-alignment, public outreach, and resourcefulness.

An HONOR to be on a paper with this killer crew. Thank you for @laurenshallion.bsky.social for your leadership on this project!

Mental Health Science Under Threat: Confronting Crises and Reclaiming Purpose with @lluaces.bsky.social @sheilacrowell.bsky.social @junegruber.bsky.social @tinaboisseau.bsky.social @anthonyperillo.bsky.social @anthonyperillo.bsky.social @cdelawalla.bsky.social https://osf.io/nz42x

What do you do when you learn a clinical colleague has engaged in some ethically questionable behavior? On Tuesday's Law & Mental Health Series, Tallie Armstrong has you covered. #PsychLaw Reg (free CEUs): hsc-unm.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

"Ending a $5 million research study when it is 80% complete does not save $1 million, it wastes $4 million" In "The Bethesda Declaration," over 300 NIH employees take a big risk to point out flaws in the new administration's actions.

Kooky that a create-your-own-feed-without-an-algorithm site is criticized as “a bubble,” but a spoon-fed, cruise-ship, gated-community algorithm-driven site is treated like a free market of ideas or Mars Hill.

Summer cookout madness: chuck roast smoked then braised in a consome of beef stock, sofrito, & red hatch chiles, shredded into tacos & dipped into the consome birria-style. #FoodSky

New colleague just asked if I had any barber recommendations.

First time doing beef ribs. Hope it’s not the last. #FoodSky

Immediate issue aside... did the administration just demonstrate to our courts that they *can* return people they deported to El Salvador at the drop of a hat and have simply defied prior orders to facilitate return?

Not what they probably had in mind, but I saw a comedy show back in college that was: Headliner: Lewis Black Middle: Dave Attell Opening Act: Mitch Hedberg

I’m so relieved that, despite all these cuts & attacks on science, UNM’s forensic postdoc fellowship has doubled in size (2 postdocs to 4) and was still able to increase funding for all fellows this upcoming year.

In most cases (much as it pains to say it as a UF grad) I’d say this would be a badge of honor that you weren’t what this board wanted. And yet, how embarrassing for someone who groveled so hard.
