I just figured out how to do line breaks and bold in ScienCV for my biosketch, and I've never felt more powerful.

Last month, several authors released a policy brief on why social determinants of health should be assessed in forensic mental health settings. The brief offers guided questions to help practitioners better support youth with juvenile legal involvement.

You guys, I’ve made it:

I was told to read my own work in an R&R I got today. Didn’t expect this to happen for a few more years, but here we are 😂

The @successcollab.bsky.social was so delighted to have @drapryla.bsky.social come talk about her work within the realm of advocacy and public scholarship! We all were inspired and invigorated to do better and use our science to help the public!

Sorry (but really not) for the cynism...but if y'all stopped padding your CVs and instead took that energy to do something actually productive like taking to the streets or calling your congresspeople, we might actually get somewhere

Based on the number of surveys I've been asked to fill out recently "as an NIH-funded researcher" that all have overlapping scope and questions, some of y'all reacted to the politicization of NIH and rise of facism by asking yourselves:

"How can I get another pub out of this? 🤔"

How long does one have to be faculty before donning the blazer/jeans/sneakers look at conferences?

Entering my third year of being faculty and as much as y'all talked about your flooded inboxes, you still undersold it

My current FTE spread is:
.5 emails
.4 meetings
.1 research (generous)

‼️New pub‼️

Caregivers becoming aware of their child’s behavioral health needs is an important 1st step to accessing services for them. Therefore, we decided to test whether parental monitoring was related to accessing services and supports!

In my next life, I would like to have a career that involves a one-page resume instead of a CV where I constantly have to play detective to discern what I've done in the past year 😱

(Yes, I do know that there is this wonderful invention called “updating your CV as things happen” but I REFUSE)

Respectfully, the gov is mistaken. Nobody is suggesting we eliminate addiction from our lexicon. Sub use disorder is a clinical diagnosis. Addiction is a conversational term that lacks the specificity to be useful clinically. They’re just different. The terms to get rid of are abuse, dirty/clean.

You could reach out to the suicidal behaviors and/or SGM SIGs at ABCT! I bet they would maybe want to partner and/or could point you in the right direction.
