Thanks Gina Jiménez for the opportunity to comment on Carlos Cardenas-Iniguez latest article!! We can all help ensure race and ethnicity are reported and contextualized responsibly!

Had a nice time chatting about an important paper from Carlos Cardenas-Iniguez & Dr. Gonzalez! For context, the PIs talking about recruiting from the 'Black community' are: 1) not Black; 2) the ones I hear concerning stories about from Black students & scientists.

Introducing the Nonbinary Minority Stress and Resilience Model! We put forth a new theoretical model that can guide future research with nonbinary people. To access a pre-print of the article, visit our website: empowermentlab.wordpress.com/measures/

✨New paper co-led w/ Monica Ellwood-Lowe out now! Here we bridge the emerging strength-based science of poverty to developmental cognitive neuroscience, and ultimately towards more humanistic, sensitive, & respectful policies that foster children’s thriving.🪡

I'm hiring a lab manager for my new lab at Northwestern! I will be accepting lab manager applications until the end of the month.

I'll be at SANS this week- reach out if you'd like to learn more about the lab!

Hi all! I’m recruiting a postdoc for a 2-year NSF-funded postdoc to examine effects of ethic-racial discrimination on the neurodevelopment of threat neurocircuitry via a community-engaged approach!! If you’re at #SANS2024 come find me & my students to learn more. Please RT 🧠🙏

Our new paper is now available‼️ We hope this narrative review helps support future work on bio effects of racism and ultimately leads to more generalizable models of neuropsychiatric disorders + more effective, culturally competent treatments for Black individuals.

My labs at UChicago are hiring a post doc to join a project that uses fNIRS to understand how children learn math through gesture-based instruction. The Psych Dept. has been an incredible place to work with extraordinary support and wonderful colleagues! Please circulate!

Across all cultures, parents have intuitive ideas ('ethnotheories') of what undesirable child characteristics are as well as how to explain them, yet cross-cultural comparisons are rare. Excited to share our latest study that delved into this question. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Our paper “A Precision Functional Atlas of Personalized Network Topography and Probabilities” is out now in Nature Neuroscience! The MIDB Precision Brain Atlas is a collection of individualized neural network maps from n~10,000 and probabilistic atlases (1/8) rdcu.be/dCvuC

🚨Out Now in Clinical Psychological Science🚨
