Waking up every morning to work on a protocol for a systematic review of studies looking into psychopathology in African contexts (with my two wonderful undergraduate RAs). This project is so, so important to me! Now, about to go on a run before the clinic #Africa #MentalHealth

When you’re quick to apologize even when you’ve done nothing wrong, take a sacred pause before speaking.

If your automatic response is to erase yourself and to seek others’ approval, slow down, breathe, and consider your heart.

A wonderful time in DC presenting, attending incredible posters, experiencing art (highlights included https://t.co/8BnIkLSbmk) and biking. Thank you to my co-authors & those who have given us feedback along the way. It takes a village to finish a systematic review! #aps25dc🎉

People's creativity hinges on the collective brain into which they are enmeshed. It's about the population size, interconnectedness and cognitive diversity. E.g., we've shown how the low innovation rates in the U.S. South arise (in part) from a lack of cultural diversity.

Would any clinical or counseling psych folks who were recently on the job market be willing to share their application materials with me? 🥹

Revisit a 1995 essay by Paul Auster, who died yesterday, at 77, that addresses the question: Why write? https://t.co/Q5hW6XhmNi

Question of the day:

Did you feel it?

[Bora Meraj @borameraj]

It has been a struggle (the good kind) finding a new place but my partner and I are finally about to sign a new lease in NYC, moving closer to the west side of the park. I will miss East Harlem. East Coast, I know you shaking right! 💙🧡💛
