Moments before the #IDSTEM22 organizing committee signed off for the final time... We cannot express how grateful we are to everyone who joined us this weekend. So much of the conference could not be captured in only a handful of tweets, but we hope you enjoyed following along.

I recently published a story with the Conversation Canada highlighting my masters work. Check out the article below! @WesternU @westernuPsych theconversation.com/treating… via @ConversationCA
Treating specific symptoms of autism or ADHD can help children, even without a diagnosis

Treating specific symptoms of autism or ADHD can help children, even without a diagnosis

Not every child with mental health difficulties has a diagnosis. An approach that focuses on symptoms rather than diagnostic labels can help support children who could benefit from treatment.

Just threw away all my GRE prep notebooks. I realized that my dream of sharing all my knowledge about special triangles with my department will never come true. It was time. For reference, I am almost in the third year of my PhD. #phdlife #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter

If you could go back and give one piece if advice to your 1st year grad student self, what would it be? Mine would be: "You are not expected to know everything. Ask more questions instead of being ashamed of your knowledge gaps" #phdchat

Warning to friends who collect data on @Prolific: Today I got horrible data quality. Many repeats of open responses. Many referencing a condition they wouldn't have seen based on their random assignment.
