Waking up every morning to work on a protocol for a systematic review of studies looking into psychopathology in African contexts (with my two wonderful undergraduate RAs). This project is so, so important to me! Now, about to go on a run before the clinic #Africa #MentalHealth

Current World Champion Gukesh defeats Magnus Carlsen for the first time in classic chess.
A wonderful time in DC presenting, attending incredible posters, experiencing art (highlights included lnkd.in/gTnE7Syx) and biking. Thank you to my co-authors & those who have given us feedback along the way. It takes a village to finish a systematic review! #aps25dc🎉

People's creativity hinges on the collective brain into which they are enmeshed. It's about the population size, interconnectedness and cognitive diversity. E.g., we've shown how the low innovation rates in the U.S. South arise (in part) from a lack of cultural diversity.

Revisit a 1995 essay by Paul Auster, who died yesterday, at 77, that addresses the question: Why write? nyer.cm/FugJdfD

ALT A quote from “Why Write?,” by Paul Auster: “If nothing else, the years have taught me this: if there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel tempted to start using it. As I like to tell my children, that’s how I became a writer.”
I have some exciting news to share! I was offered a @SSHRC_CRSH doctoral award. I am proud of all the hard work I put into this research proposal and grateful to all the people who helped refine it including @shayanasadi_ and @DrTDelVecchio 🥹 #funded #womeninstem #Dissertation – at Queens, NY

Cultural values may have become more different globally, but more similar regionally, over the past 40 years, according to a paper published in @NatureComms. go.nature.com/4cN7XSN

Yay! 😃 Congrats to @nguyenllpsych 🥲 – at Queens, NY
HUGE congrats to DOCTOR Linh Nguyen (@nguyenllpsych) on the successful defense of her dissertation. A truly masterful effort!!
It has been a struggle (the good kind) finding a new place but my partner and I are finally about to sign a new lease in NYC, moving closer to the west side of the park. I will miss East Harlem. East Coast, I know you shaking right! 💙🧡💛 – at Manhattan, NY
