Excited that our small qualitative study on disrupted permanency among foster care alumni was published in the Journal of Public Child Welfare today! www.tandfonline.com/eprint/EZ5MS...
Remember when I was upset that I scored worse on my F31 resubmission? That was a much better time than this clusterf*ck. Awarded grants & fellowships shouldnt be terminated. NRSAs approach critical questions, launch independent research programs, & provide essential training for ECRs. This is not ok

Thank you, Claire! 🥹 I can’t imagine the impact this will have on people who hold far fewer privileges and supports than I do. I’m glad many scientists are advocating against these harmful policies and practices!
Thank you, Cheri. I am so, so grateful for the impact you’ve had on my life and the ways you advocate for your trainees and patients. It’s an honor to work with you.
(6/6) be. Assumptions that diversity initiatives and supplements somehow give people an advantage over others is blatantly incorrect. It simply gives trainees a chance who, despite their best efforts, weren’t afforded the same opportunities and experiences others had.
(5/6) hard to make them up, spending hours learning how to do things on my own, doing science alone, taking extra classes, etc. But this supplement would have given me a chance to receive the targeted research support and mentorship I want and need to become the kind of clinical scientist I want to
(4/6) still need support in navigating spaces that are vastly different from the ones I came from. That’s why things like diversity supplements are so important. I’ve missed out on a lot of mentorship and research opportunities thus far due to the previous limits of my background. And I’ve worked
(3/6) worry about whether I would have enough food to eat or a place to live. And the support and mentorship I’ve received throughout the years from teachers, professors, and senior scientists showed me that I can do hard and impactful things despite where I’ve come from. But I am finding that I

(1/6) The people making these decisions have no idea the harm caused by their politically motivated and reckless decisions. I am in my final year of training for a PhD in psychology and have been working for months on a diversity supplement. I’m where I am now ONLY because of governmental support
I thought the plan was for Leslie Knope to be in the White House in 2024. 😭

@uofleatlab.bsky.social
Does anyone know any support groups or specific ways to connect w/ a first-gen academic mentor, preferably someone in clinical/counseling psych? I’ve found navigating the scientific components of academia straightforward but the cultural differences & unspoken assumptions are harder to navigate
Glad you’re here. If you haven’t already, I’ve found the ED researcher starter packs super helpful for who to follow!!
