@TulipMarawi @obrien_emj I used the resources you provided last cycle and ended up getting into an amazing program, which I start in two weeks. Thank you for all that you are doing to support applicants and increase accessibility in the PhD application process!!

Taking a moment to point out the collage on the wall, created by my undergrads in honor of the OIT study over the last two years. Building a culture of fun alongside our hard work!

Just had the privilege of watching my wonderful undergrad Arianna defend her honors thesis! The opportunity to be a mentor has been my favorite part of this job, and I am SO proud of Ari and her accomplishments 🥳

@eugiampetruzzi @NSF @Stanford @NIH WOW congratulations!!

[Kat Altman @KatAltman1]

@breannajrogers HUGE congratulations!!!

I am thrilled to announce that this fall I will start my PhD in Clinical Psych at Case Western Reserve University under Dr. Anastasia Dimitropoulos! I am so excited to join this wonderful lab and @CWRUpsychsci ! Grateful for my many mentors at Pitt, @NIH, & @ChildDevLab_UMD 😁🧠

[Kat Altman @KatAltman1]

My first paper (published last October) just got its first citation! Such a small thing but knowing that my work is being read and used to progress the field made my entire week 😁😊

[Kat Altman @KatAltman1]

@purnimaqamar @anilak_99 @peterakirk Congratulations!! So incredibly well deserved!

[Kat Altman @KatAltman1]

@breannajrogers @Niacolepsych I think either of those are super likely!! People definitely lie on gradcafe and I know at least 1 program where PIs have been sending out offers at different times. Fingers crossed for you!

She is now looking for research positions, and would prefer to stay in the DMV area. She is a talented, driven researcher and I would hate to see her career stalled due to this administration’s actions. If you hiring/know anyone who is, please reach out!!

ISO: postbacc research jobs in the area of anxiety, childhood, and/or neuroimaging. I have a brilliant undergrad who was awarded an IRTA to start this summer, but had her offer revoked due to the hiring freeze (1)

[Kat Altman @KatAltman1]

@KamiiPsy Congratulations!! Just getting the applications in is such an accomplishment. We got this!

[Kat Altman @KatAltman1]

Just submitted my final batch of PhD applications! Feeling lots of emotions right now, but I’m focusing on being proud of this accomplishment, and so excited for what the future holds ☺️

[Kat Altman @KatAltman1]

@KamiiPsy Yes!! Time to relax and manage the anxiety of waiting!!

I’m angry, but oddly it’s a cold anger this time.

I want to make something good and beautiful in this cruel and stupid world. I want to plant a tree or bake a loaf of bread — not out of cheerful optimism or even hope, but as a defiant middle finger to all this darkness.
