I could not be more thrilled to share a new book by my dear friend & colleague, Jonathan Lassiter - out today! It’s an incisive first-person account of training as a psychologist, from the perspective of a Black, same-gender-loving man. Every psychologist needs to read this. #AcademicSky #PsychSky

Happy Monday! Already a great fall day: started w/5K 🏃🏻‍♀️, then lots of pumpkin coffee (in my pumpkin mug 🎃) & progress on a new manuscript. Feels good to get back to basics. Meetings now, then more #acwri & Clinical Ph.D. program event tonight. There’s still time to sign up to join! Next one 11/3.

Happy Tuesday! It’s NIH grant submission day here, despite a govt shutdown (doesn’t change deadlines - no rest for the very weary). Final checks in progress, stepped away for a blood check (no rest for those on blood thinners). Looking forward to a run🏃🏻‍♀️, nap 😴, and haircut 💇‍♀️ later. #AcademicSky

Happy Monday! Today = final prep for an NIH submission (yes, during a govt shutdown) & trying to stay on top of all else in progress. It’s a challenge that requires more time for rest than I’m giving it, & I intend to crash later this week. Gotta keep fighting for work we believe in. #AcademicSky 🤓

It’s #Menopause Awareness Month & I’m so excited to share the news about our physical activity program for women ages 40-65! ⬇️ Each participant is paired w/another woman in the program for support, accountability beyond coaching sessions. Feasible, acceptable, & promising! #WomensHealth #AcademicSky

Democratic women are disadvantaged in competitive district primaries, where party elites prioritize electability & view men as safer. Republican women are disadvantaged in safe district primaries, where elites & voters assume they are less conservative.

This was supposed to be an in-person conference & I was so excited to contribute as an invited discussant. One of many recent casualties = this moved to webinar. I’m definitely grateful that it’s happening at all, as many conferences were canceled completely. And I now get to wear slippers 😂

I would like (re)establish a daily post here & it keeps eluding me. I jump right into each day & get swept away. Which is (mostly) quite lovely, as I get to do work that I enjoy. But I’m very much out of the loop! Today I’ve been listening to an NIH live cast on health behavior theory. #AcademicSky

I celebrated 2 years since heart surgery last week, with my longest run since then & day trips to the beach. Gonna be a wild month, but I’m grateful 🤓 #AcademicSky
