in honor of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, I want to challenge our field to think about the ways we still perpetuate stigma amongst mental health professionals and trainees. we need to normalize people experiencing challenges with mental health within the mental health field. 1/🧵

If a person is bitten by a specific dog, why do they then become afraid of all dogs? Researchers argue that threat learning promotes generalization of aversive memories, perhaps to prevent us from similar harm in the future; at what cost? https://t.co/Ub02imyMDV #prosem2023

Cognitive control, especially for goal-directed behavior, may underly intrusive thoughts & compulsivity in some psychopathology. Gillan et al. find that deficits in goal-directed control is linked to maladaptive rigidity in habits and rules. https://t.co/8EgJgIWyQa #prosem2023

Friendly reminder to keep being angry that the sole beneficiaries of absurdist academic pressures to publish are multibillion-dollar publishing companies, which profit from infinite streams of other people's intellectual property. Not science. Not society. Just the publishers 🥲

@DrMarinaHarris this is literally are you the one in a nutshell

[Summer Millwood (she/her) 🇯🇲 @summermillwood]

hot take: we need to retire the term "vulnerable populations" as a catch-all for populations with *very* different experiences. consider being specific about the population you're studying (i.e., children, Black women) rather than using "vulnerable" as a blanket term.

“People of Color” is not the progressive, PC, term you think it is. Let’s discuss why and provide useful context as to why you should discard it from your vocabulary entirely and it should be removed from academia and literature moving forward.

A RANT. Publishing is the coin of the realm in academia, but peer review is a sodden mess. Would a business delegate its most valued functions to unpaid volunteers? Journals depend on free labor from reviewers. This system sucked before the pandemic & is unsustainable now. 🧵

To all PhD advisors out there: What is one reason an applicant may not get an offer despite being a qualified candidate? Looking to show applicants how many factors outside of their control affect these decisions.
