I agree with this sentiment on some levels, but we also have written similar conclusion and reviewers noted “please tone that down, much more research is needed.” 🤷‍♀️

Gosh, where did the time go?!???!?! It was just yesterday when you were at Smith, then CPA/RSA, then RSMj. Good luck tmr!

Are YOU applying this year??

Busy week @adapt206.bsky.social! 3 abstracts from @barsstudy.bsky.social accepted for @cpddorg.bsky.social, led by (postbac) trainees who’d been in the lab for 1+yr. 13 seniors/juniors new to the lab submitted 3 abstracts for UW’s Undergrad Research Symposium. That’s what I call a training pipeline!

More emerging findings. Want to learn more? Follow us @barsstudy.bsky.social @adapt206.bsky.social

My lab submitted 6 conference proposals this week featuring 7 undergrad, postbac, masters, and predoc trainees. I think that’s a pretty good end to an academic term.

Most recent and a new auto-correct fail (caught in time before submission!): “reproducibility” and “reproductivity”…

Today hits particularly hard. Gotta find ways to keep going ... Like, finding fulfillment in supporting (former) students’ pursuits for graduate training because they will carry on the mission despite challenges… or keep the science going with any resources left because it’s the right thing to do.

Research is… hard work that is worth doing.

Someone found our free-access postprint from a few years ago, before I moved institutions, found my new email and asked me for materials used in said study. I went to the postprint linked to the project w/ materials, shared link to said materials and open-access published paper. All in 2 minutes.

Why I engage in “open science”? Transparency for myself and promotion of collective knowledge production. Here’s one example…

an owl is sitting on a wall with its eyes closed and a quote that says `` hope is the thing with feathers '' . ALT: an owl is sitting on a wall with its eyes closed and a quote that says `` hope is the thing with feathers '' .

Fun to listen to @edyong209.bsky.social talk about discovering joy, cultivating a sense of wonder and stillness, building community, and instilling hope despite challenges—thru birding.

What do others do for these things? Mine had been kickboxing, rockclimbing, and recently pottery.

We wanted to share some insights from what we’ve learned so far through our participants’ experiences.
These experiences help us recognize important patterns and identify resources that support well-being.

Representation in research matters and this is just the beginning of what we’re uncovering.

The Black Adult Resilience Study (BARS) is committed to building genuine trust through transparency, collaboration, and respect. Here are some current findings we've heard from our participants.

Participants from the Black community show up for research that they find personally and culturally relevant. An infographic on our ongoing data collection!

Overthrow the Tyranny of Morning People Leave the clocks alone.

My annual plea to leave the damn clocks alone, and why morning people are the worst:

We use evidence to discuss public health issues. When it comes to data-informed recommendations, credentials and expertise matter. Completing education and appropriate practical training bolsters our expertise as scientists and health professionals. Influencer =/= scientific communication.

Feel free to email me pplui@uw.edu

Hope to publish the results or make the data available when we complete data collection.

The award is also designed to provide students feedback on their NSF GRFP applications. Thanks to the abrupt change in eligibility criteria, Christine’s award-winning proposal is now deemed ineligible 1.5 month before the deadline….

Kudos and congrats to, Christine Chang, my 2nd year PhD student for being selected to receive a 2025 APAGS/Psi Chi Junior Scientist Fellowship. This award recognizes outstanding research-oriented students early in their doctoral training, and provides support for direct research costs.

We made an infographic summarizing some emerging patterns using SeaTac geospatial data and exploring participants’ lived experiences in our neighborhoods. Our project coordinator hates the photo bc my phone is old (so I cropped her), but this is us presenting these data at a conference this summer.

We are doing a free and public facing event that includes sharing some of our emerging observations from BARS-SeaTac and roundtable discussions (with the audience!). If you are in the area, come join is next Wednesday at 5pm.

APCS (www.acadpsychclinicalscience.org/)-- the Academy-- is a major training organization in clinical psychological science. We worked with the Academy's leadership team to craft this letter and to encourage programmatic self-study in open science training. Let's get to work!

Exciting news from the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science--a joint effort to enhance open science training in clinical psychology!

If you are interested, you can the papers mentioned in the email here:

Research is… refining study protocol and materials, and documenting everything. The documents can help our future selves to remember what we were thinking and enhance transparency and others’ verification of our procedures and findings. #NewResearch #OpenScience

Friendly reminder for those submitting manuscripts to PsyArXiv!

Upon submission, moderators will check the preprint (i.e., the PDF file) and the metadata (i.e., the submission form) to ensure it fulfills the guidelines. Make sure you follow them!

This means individuals in the following statuses at the time of application are eligible: Undergraduate in the final (senior) year of a bachelor’s degree program Bachelor’s degree-holder with NO enrollment in a graduate degree program (non-degree graduate coursework allowed) Individual enrolled in a joint bachelor’s-master’s degree program with at least three undergraduate years completed First-year graduate student in their first graduate degree program with less than one academic year completed in the degree program (according to institution’s academic calendar) Individuals enrolled in joint bachelor’s-master’s degree programs are considered graduate students. For GRFP, joint bachelor’s-master’s degrees are defined as degrees concurrently pursued and awarded. Not be a current NSF employee. Applications that do not meet eligibility requirements will be returned without review as being ineligible for a fellowship.

Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

I was honored by the @psychscience.bsky.social DEI Committee's invitation to help curate this collection of outstanding articles addressing a range of issues related to anti-Black racism. I also couldn't have asked for a more thoughtful and thorough partner in @johnjost.bsky.social. Please share!
