As the school year is about to begin, I wanted to pass along this totally FREE resource (thanks to a donor) with chapters on getting into grad school, surviving Year 1, and every career step/milestone No royalties or anything - it's TOTALLY FREE. Good luck! www.cambridge.org/core/books/p...

Would anyone be interested in a workshop (maybe at ABCT 2026?) with practical instruction on how to work "from in press to impact" (i.e., things you can do to help ensure that your science actually improves society)?

Check out this great new resource from the APA on working with the media. Scientists: your job isn't over when you get to "in press." We need to make sure the word gets out beyond academic journals about what we have learned to make an impact! www.apa.org/research-pra...

As things start to wind down for me at APA, I'm proud of the growth in the focus on science.....and also a growth in scientists at APA! In 2025, APA members include over 30,000 scientists who are actively contributing to the research literature. YAY! Learn more: www.apa.org/science/abou...

I dare you to read this and defend these cuts to science: projects.propublica.org/nih-cuts-res...

Think social media may have gotten a little out of control? AI is just getting started! APA has a new AI Health Advisory urging folks to put adolescent wellbeing first! Hear more about it here from NPR All Things Considered in 2 min: www.npr.org/2025/06/04/n...

Look at these cuts that will devastate med/behavioral health research, severely limit mental health services, & end educational programming. YOU help STOP these cuts by flooding Congress using the link below. This is for ANYONE to do, so please spread the word!! www.votervoice.net/APAAdvocacy/...

APA leads a coalition of 76 organizations fighting for science and health! Check it out!!! unitedsciencealliance.org/united-call-...

At SRCD pre conference. Where are all the international people??? So much news on cutting funding and how it indeed hurts science. But creating a climate that stifles scholarly discourse hurts science too!

If you believe in truth, then you believe in the science of misinformation!!!! APA's statement here: updates.apaservices.org/misinformation

More statements from APA fighting for science! updates.apaservices.org

Statement from APA re/autism and what the science really says: updates.apaservices.org/autism

NIH is being reorganized and congress is doing nothing. I will remember next November…

Half of all US counties will lose at least $250K in revenue! Cuts to NIH affect ALL americans! Check out this new analysis and look up your county here: www.axios.com/2025/04/09/n...

The research grants canceled this week will stop treatments in rural communities, will stop the study of cures for conditions that affect all people, and will take away jobs from lower and middle class folks who live in “red” states. Period.

Today You Tube announced a new initiative......based on psych science and a report with APA!!!! Hooray!! YouTube and industry leaders announce the Youth Digital Wellbeing Initiative blog.youtube/news-and-eve...

Everything you need to understand and combat what is happening in Washington DC: updates.apaservices.org Updated constantly to combat misinformation and help you know what you can do, all from advocacy professionals at APA!

Just spent two days in London. Upon hearing my accent, 100% of people started talking about Trump and how the entire world has a negative impression of him and the US now. Never had this experience on any trip abroad before. Do folks in America know how poorly he is regarded across the globe?

Here’s what’s needed: Describe how loss of NIH funds is not just affecting the campus, but how does it affect “main street” in your town/community. How does funding affect employment, health care, services, etc off campus? Tell your local and state leaders and/or tag them here!

Troubling: Congresspeople say they are NOT hearing from academics, or university administrators. PLEASE SPEAK UP! Oppose these budget cuts to research, health, student loans! www.votervoice.net/APAAdvocacy/... Tell others to do the same!

Happy to report that APA wrote this letter, gathered a coalition across science, and will now pay for ads for it to be disseminated in Science and Chronicle of Higher Ed to spread the word!! unitedsciencealliance.org

Let's be very clear: Gutting science/education sectors and calling it 'cost-savings' is manipulative and false. The truth: People in ALL states will lose jobs, cures for your diagnoses will be delayed, tuition costs will spike. The world depends on US Science and Ed and both will suffer severely.

I’m considering starting my own country. It will be based on the values of truth, democracy, a celebration of diversity, science, kindness, and respect for everyone. Anyone interested?

I hope this is helpful to parents everywhere!! mashable.com/article/four...
