Biden in NC today: "I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to ... [but] I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job ... I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up!"

Seems like a particularly fitting time for me to hang up my new office art!! We should all be focused on telling the truth and hearing the truth. The rest is simply lies. #1619project

Just a few photos of my amazing lab at SPSSI this year! We presented work on racial ambiguity, gesture and learning, trait generalizing, Black STEM enrollment, Latino identity, and social justice motivations!!

Thank you SO much to @andyluttrell.bsky.social for having us on his Opinion Science podcast! This work I did measuring how a new randomized roommate policy here at Duke shifted attitudes and the diversity of student's friend networks in college is some of my proudest work!

Ep 99! @sarahegaither.bsky.social & Analia Albuja share their great work on random roommate assignments' effects on students' abilities to foster diverse networks Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/9... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0Y7m... Web: opinionsciencepodcast.com/episode/epis...

My first JPSP paper of my career! ⭐️With Analia Albuja, Diana Sanchez & Jaelyn Nixon, we measure how intergroup contact from Duke’s randomized roommate policy boosts friend diversity for all students! Check out this write up all about this NSF funded work! today.duke.edu/2024/05/unli...

Our WRAP Black faculty writing group is so so amazing! Can’t get over how much writing we all got done this week at the lake! Wishing I was still there now! Thank you Duke for supporting us! #blackexcellence

Thanks to @dcameron.bsky.social for closing out the brownbag series for the year! This was one of my favorite ways of thinking about empathy he presented—empathy isn’t a limited resource that runs out, it depends how you steer it!

Grades DONE!!! (Yes this was me imagining this feeling a few days ago since I have a sabbatical this fall! P.S. If anyone has tips on Bologna, Italy we are headed there with the twins for a visiting position for a bit!) #summer #done

My lab is my happy place! Every single person makes our lab what it is, and no better way to celebrate another successful year of science than with a little thank you picnic! 💙💙

Our WRAP Black Faculty writing group is one of my favorite things at Duke! Today we were honored to have Dr. Trina Jones from the law school visit with us to discuss her career and give us insights about how to navigate academia and practice self care. Such a great morning!

I had such a great visit @olemiss.bsky.social speaking as the keynote at their Research Day! Thanks to Joseph Wellman and Grace Rivers especially for making this such a great trip! So much history on your beautiful campus!

I received the best proposal acceptance ever from Tose my incoming PhD student! I was at a conference and she surprised me at the break with this slide! I was hoping for this and had a lab shirt ready of course 😉Welcome to Duke and the lab family! She also just got a NSF GRFP honorable mention!

So fun having Eric Knowles visit us for our brown bag last week! He talked all about social class and how it intersects with context and showed cool data highlighting differences based on social class in how we scan our social surroundings! 👓#psychscisky

No April Fools Day joke here! We simply have the best lab ever and the views from the Duke Chapel only highlight our amazingness with of course some treats after as a lab to celebrate spring!! 🌸🌷

Yesterday, I received a huge honor by giving the Langford Lecture at Duke! This recognition is given to the top newly tenured faculty each year, and I got to showcase all of the amazing work my lab has done over the years!! 🎉

Check out the amazing Duke Bass Connections work I am doing with Tamar Kushnir and our students Mercedes and Jessa with the Museum of Life and Science to expand children’s science identities! Such a fun project! bassconnections.duke.edu/about/news/m...

Museum Partnerships Serve as Roots for Growing Kids’ STEM Identitybassconnections.duke.edu Two Bass Connections teams are studying the relationship between informal learning and STEM identity formation in partnership with the Museum of Life and Science in Durham.

Check out this coverage from the Duke Chronicle all about Duke Line which is an anonymous peer texting support line I have helped develop! #psychscisky www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024...

‘On the lookout for each other’: Students provide support for peers in need through DukeLinewww.dukechronicle.com DukeLine, an anonymous text line for Duke students, by Duke students, was created to help fill in for high-stress situations when in-person therapy may fall short for students.

My amazing grad student Mercedes tackled CDS last week! She presented her work in how Latinx kids see their identity as a race vs. and ethnicity and also results from our NSF collaborative grant testing ingrouo preferences for kids across race and region! #psychscisky

At the Rutgers Multidisciplinary Multiracial Conference today! Dr. McKenzie Green’s work measuring differences and similarities for Black/White adolescent experiences is so needed since it highlights understudied gender differences in pathways to biracial pride and mental health.

In case you missed it @spspnews.bsky.social in-person, my interview with @maddblackprof.bsky.social for their Out of the Lab series is online! Keith was one of my first academic mentors, so it was a true honor to share the stage with him! #gojumbos #SPSP2024 youtu.be/4Pvc_KaS9o4?...

I had such a great visit to Wash U in St Louis speaking in their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion talk series! A beautiful campus and a bonus to get to hang with @calvinklai.bsky.social!! Thanks for the invitation! #psychscisky

Thanks to @katharinescott.bsky.social for visiting us our brown bag! Such important work designing and testing interventions with parents to get them to talk about race with their kids! #psychscisky

Just checked into the Duke newly tenured faculty retreat in Wilmington, NC!! Cheers to tenure (while I quickly catch up on emails after the drive ha ha)

I had an excuse to walk through the Duke Gardens today to see Eve Puffer give her Langford lecture! So lucky my building is next to this beautiful space on campus!

Such cool work by Emma Grisham and Bridgette Hard testing how gendered some teaching metaphors may be and how that influences expectations for students presented at our brown bag last week! #psychscisky

One of my fav lab things to do is a resumes and cover letter session where we go over how to best sell what we do in our lab! Let’s go get jobs, internships, fellowships, and grad school admissions!!! 📝

My toddlers’ newest insult: “Go outside with no jacket on!!” (Said with the most distain possible for a 2.5 year old lol).jpg
