New article alert! 📢 This mock jury study, led by @isabelle_clough, explores how educating jurors about a juvenile defendant's age, psychosocial maturity level, and gender can affect their beliefs about the defendant's guilt and criminal responsibility. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

I just finished watching @candice_odgers and @JonHaidt discuss youth social media use in this video from UVA. I'm excited to share this with my Adolescent Development class next week for our lesson on Media - it's sure to spark a heated discussion! tyde.virginia.edu/livestream-odg…

Undergrads/graduates: if you want to do a PhD, can’t afford to do a masters and know the area you want to do a PhD in, a perfectly decent alternative is to apply for a research assistant job and gain substantial research experience. Check jobs.ac.uk for job ads

I'm looking forward to hearing the fabulous @JasonCantone speak at UTEP Psychology's departmental colloquium this week! For all of my research assistants interested in psych-law careers, you won't want to miss this!
