One of the most emotional nights I’ve had in awhile—Severin Award night with the Dept. of Psychology at SLU. Endless great things I could say about what an impact everyone at SLU has had on me, but not enough characters to post it here. Instead here’s a photo of my remarks! Feeling so blessed 🥹

Excited to share the news that I received the Psi Chi Sayons Award tonight for the most outstanding undergraduate major. I feel so incredibly blessed to do what I love surrounded by amazing mentors, grad students, and peers in psych and neuro; this wouldn’t be possible without my amazing community!

I left my favorite scarf in a meeting room and when I returned today it was lovingly folded up waiting for me. Then I walked home and arrived just in time to help my neighbor unload a bunch of plants from her car. May we remember we can still do small things for one another, despite everything ❤️

Saya de Malha is one of the world's largest seagrass meadows & a significant carbon sink. However, #overfishing & lack of ocean governance make it vulnerable to human activities. Ian Urbina's The Outlaw Ocean Project highlights the need for protection for a potential High Seas MPA: buff.ly/8RaG3QL

F mechanisms are student and postdoc fellowships. This is the US choking off funding for training the next generation of talent. Where is the university leadership response?

Gave presentation to our lab undergrads today regarding my graduate school application experiences. I tried to nail in the key point that positive mentorship and selecting a good mentor is absolutely critical. Was quite the process to get this figure created using code & AI, but it’s my fav slide!

Didn’t we learn about homonyms in what? 3rd grade? Not only is this plain dumb, but these non-DEI terms also exist in science… -Barrier: brain-blood barrier -Bias: valence bias -Diversity: genetic diversity -Equity: equity of particle distributions in physics -Cultural: bacteria/microbe culture

PhD applicants: with 💙, navigate things carefully this year. Please read the 🧵 replies. Some schools are guaranteeing N years of support; others are doing so "contingent on funding"; others are offering provisional accepts (and sadly, some are rescinded). You are not alone. Get some good advice!

Grad school offers are getting rescinded, funding is vanishing, and hiring freezes are leaving researchers with nowhere to go. This isn’t about merit. Academia is in crisis, science deserves better. Read below, reflecting to cope… & feel free to share if this hits close to home for you.
