Academic psychologists, how did you consider family planning in terms of your career?
Were there especially good or bad times to be pregnant/have a child?
What advice would you give to early career scholars who want to plan ahead (as a person, partner, parent, & academic)?

This is how you implement an inclusive conference for an #AcademicMama - a livestream of the auditorium with an infant play area & toys in front of it. This sends such a powerful message. Great job @Infantstudies #ICIS2024 @Momademia

#maternityleave should not require 2 years of strategically banking 160+ vacation hours in order to get paid.
The reality of #motherhood in #academia. We’re supposed to be leaders in progressive policy, this is just sad.
I will die on this hill.

Drove 4.5 hours just to have babysitters to watch 2yo so I can cram edits into my first R01... gotta do what you gotta do. 😅 So grateful to my amazing mentors for all the helpful suggestions- the extensive re-writing I am doing is a lesson for future grants! You learn by doing.

An absolute new career highlight:
Got to give a lesson on the heart to pre-k kids at my toddler’s classroom.
Proud @Momademia moment and real gratitude that I get to share a little bit of what I heart with my daughter.

In light of a certain news story this week, I’m looking to interview academic mothers for a piece on the joint pressures of academia and motherhood. Get in touch.

Found preparing for remote field work as a lactating momma challenging, so wanted to share my hot tips after a huge success & ~8L of frozen milk safely home!

Life as an academic mom. A napping toddler, chatty patty 6yo, and a paper to write. So I shall write with the toddler in my arms, and 6yo in my ear!

My daughter came with me to the lab on Monday since it was a holiday here and school was closed. She played with my science Legos in the office and left me her construction of how she sees me working. 😍 #AcademicMom #WomenInScience @AcademicMamas

I helped at my kid’s “Scientist in the School” today and when I told him I’d be joining his class he asked- are you the scientist?! 🥰🥰 #AcademicMama #WomanInSTEAM #WomenInScience @Momademia

It was a beautiful day for writing a grant, riding bikes, and referring fights about stomping on each others bubbles #academicmama

My kid, years ago, age 8, guessing what my email to my "boss" would say: the human body development because statistics... blah blah blah students, blah blah blah, department head.
