No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I would be in favor of journals keeping track of the ratio of articles a given researcher submits versus reviews. When the ratio reaches a certain threshold, you can't submit any more articles to that journal as an author until you fix the ratio by reviewing. Seems very fair.
One of the first Black women to earn a Ph.D. in psychology, Ruth Winifred Howard trained Black nurses and worked with children and youth during her long and exemplary career.
There is some debate as to who was the first Black woman to obtain a Ph.D. in psychology.

exactly this. I have experienced some great AEs who are very on top of things. Even if it is a rej they provide very constructive and useful feedback within a very reasonable time.
I just wrote something like this a few days..a postdoc led paper has been at a dev psych journal for 9 months with only one reviewer...I am not sure if the AE is doing anything...
A trainee-led ms has been under review in a top journal in our field for 8.5 months and only got one review. Another trainee-led one has been resubmitted for the 2nd time to another top journal in our field for 2.5 months... - from a dedicated reviewer who always turns in review within 4-6 weeks.
New review paper led by @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social: Mental health awareness campaigns reduce stigma but can also lead to problematic self-diagnosis and symptom misinterpretation. These trade-offs matter, especially for adolescents.

Gutted to learn of the passing of Dr Kirsty Duncan.
She was a tireless fighter for the people she served, not only her local community in Toronto but others, especially the science & research &
athletics communities too.
She championed equity, diversity, inclusion and made change happen.

In 2023, the American Psychological Association updated their guidelines for undergraduate education (for only the third time).
Key updates include:
-A focus on equity and diversity and inclusion
-Attention to open science
-Focus on ethics and communication
-Suggestions for building a career
Came here to see if I was interpreting this correctly. Seems like I am.
I'm hiring (another) post doc, this time in collaboration with Natalie Brito @nataliebrito.bsky.social at Columbia! We will be exploring some of the characteristics of human development using deep learning models. Email with questions!
