Well this fun! 👀Make your own action figure with ChatGpt using this prompt: Draw a picture of me as a real-life action figure. Be specific as possible based on what you know about me. And put multiple interesting things that represent who I am inside the packaging.

I googled you and can now better appreciate how niche your research area is! I can understand your skepticism. But, I did see your location, maybe that's the drawcard? Even I wouldn't mind visiting, say, for 3-4 weeks!

Oh, how interesting! Still, I would not have detected a red flag. I am commonly called Prof (albeit untimely), but it can be common vernacular for teacher/lecturer in some countries, right? Not in my system though. And I would have also advocated for cross-disciplinary curiosity too, until....

Feeling vulnerable even asking: how can you tell this is spam and not a genuine student seeking answers?

🚨 Important new paper from the Ed Psych Review special issue on belonging. This paper considers how racial/ethnic identity relates to school belonging and how that might depend on whether asset-based pedagogy is being used in classrooms

A special thank you to The Australian Temperament Project for allowing us to share their data.

It took a village to create this paper: Christopher Greenwood, Emily Berger, Andrea Reupert, Gerald Wurf, Natalia Rajendran William Warton, Dr Meredith O'Connor, Ann Sanson, Craig Olsson & @PrimroseLetcher

The numbers tell the story: students with higher school belonging had about 25% lower odds of using tobacco, cannabis, or illicit substances in young adulthood".
