I had to do a double-take. He’d be a great girl-dad, too.

Marshall’s concurrence in Batson is one of the best instances of understanding psychology I’ve ever seen in a case.

Not necessarily dead. But would you want to be an EIC with non-psych administrators and some type of psych-ish committee looking over your every move? The offer to me and others to be interim EIC were insulting. So… maybe only NEARLY dead now but how could it reincarnate.

Can someone post the full tortured letter from Rob Groop? I’m no longer an APS member; I read it on someone else’s phone.

Golden, CO is experimenting with 32 hour work weeks for their police officers. Same pay, less hours, more efficiency. We'll see what it does for their health! Does anyone know of a service that could measure that? 😝 9news.com/article/news/local…
4-day workweek pilot kicks off in Golden

4-day workweek pilot kicks off in Golden

The program aims to see if a shorter, 32-hour work week helps with retention and employee well-being.

Thanks, Jason. I believe that psych/law is being useful as other disciplines struggle to make their forensic science findings more reliable and understandable (in addition to some other ongoing projects at AAAS).

Congratulations and well-deserved, Mary. Now let’s get more Psychologists involved at AAAS and show why Francis Collins was correct in thinking perhaps NIH has underinvested in behavioral science.

I'm thrilled to be elected alongside these incredible scholars (and the other Psychology electees) as a AAAS Fellow!

APS asked would I "be willing to consider being a candidate" for Interim EIC of Perspectives; a position that would " be unique and have a different mandate than a regular EIC role." I loved being EIC of PoPS. But interview? Limited mandate? Under constant scrutiny. No thanks.

Good luck to whomever takes over what I used to think was the best editor's job in Psychology (because of the journal's flexibility). But maybe not any longer.
