I have no words.
The election season has been exhausting for many Americans. Some are recharging by taking a trip abroad. nyti.ms/40UHH5F

Turn your distress into positive change.
The only productive thing I can think to do right now is to donate (now and repeatedly) to orgs that provide support for ***basic human rights.*** Below are some orgs that provide assistance for abortion care and support/relocation funds for fams w/ trans kids.

Anyone else having issues with @expiwell glitching today? Research participants are reporting getting notifications every thirty seconds even when their survey is closed. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn’t work. Ideas?

Me, deep in grant writing mode: “a biomusical? A biological musical?!?”
Jonathan Groff, who won his first Tony Award in June for starring in a hit revival of “Merrily We Roll Along,” will return to Broadway next spring in “Just in Time,” a biomusical he has been developing for years. nyti.ms/3zIRtwu

Maybe I’ve done too much cognitive processing therapy, but I would call this a stuck point rather than a theory.
There’s a theory that responsibility is not zero sum… that if one person is responsible for something bad that happens, the other is not. Or if one person is 60% responsible, the other is 40% responsible
In this theory, responsibility is proportionate to the power to prevent what happened. So if something bad happens between two people and either could have prevented it, they are both 100% responsible. If there’s a group of people and anyone in the group could have prevented it, then they are all 100% responsible
I don't know if I agree, or under what circumstances I might agree. It’s just interesting to think about

How is this even a question? What are we doing?
Can AI replace human respondents in psych research? 🤖
We compared #LLM-generated and human responses using BFI-2 & HEXACO scales. AI mimics broad patterns but misses subtle human nuances at the item level. 📊
Validation is key!

Are other folks in clinical psych PhD programs getting lots of requests for virtual meetings from prospective applicants? I used to only get these rarely, and now almost every applicant who emails requests a meeting. I’m curious if others are getting these too.

First refrigerators, now this. Where does it end?
A new social media trend involves creatively arranging those gray, plastic TSA bins with accessories, and showing them off. On a recent afternoon at Los Angeles International Airport, some passengers were baffled and some were intrigued. nyti.ms/3zfFvtZ
