Thrilled to share our team's new manuscript supporting the design of accessible and culturally relevant interventions using a novel "blueprint storyboarding" method! Check it out here! 👇👇 doi.org/10.1007/s11121… @Ferguson_Lab @SPRORG

Most importantly, the intervention worked. Teens reported increased readiness to eat more veggies and less salt after the intervention.

Teens appreciated that the program materials reflected their lived experiences as Somali American youth. “I liked how they included that a person can belong in more than one culture.”

🔥Hot off the press 🔥 We piloted JMGC-SA with Somali American teens in 2021. Even during a pandemic, school-based delivery of the digital and culturally tailored intervention was feasible. #HealthEquity 🧵⬇️ rdcu.be/dIewt @BanegasJasmine @SarahCGillespie @Ferguson_Lab

My friend and former lab mate, Aurora (2nd-year clinical psych PhD student) has been diagnosed with cancer. Any donations to help cover her imaging and treatment costs would be immensely appreciated. Thank you for your support! ❤️

Excited to share that I’ve been featured in the newest issue of the @UMN_CEHD connect magazine! Check it out 😃 connect.cehd.umn.edu/community-enga…

@a_wiglesworth @JoseCausadias @Ferguson_Lab Thanks, Andrea!! 😀 Such a good experience!

@TSimenec @JoseCausadias @Ferguson_Lab What a dream team! Congratulations Tori on this awesome review!! 🥳

It was an absolute privilege working on this paper with @JoseCausadias and @Ferguson_Lab! Their communication of some pretty COMPLEX ideas into simple and easy to understand figures is nothing short of magic. 🪄

Air pollution warnings are becoming more and more familiar in the United States. Newly published research suggests that even air pollutant levels deemed safe by the @EPA are linked to changes in brain network connectivity development. Found out more: ow.ly/PZvw50OXCHn

@annaparenteau19 Thanks so much! I'm attaching a jpeg of the flyer. The link to the interest form is redcap.link/cope if that's easier to share. I really appreciate it!

@DrRachelShelton @BaumannAna It does! Thanks so much!

@TSimenec @BaumannAna see if this works? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

@umndieck You didn't skip a beat!!

There she goes again!! Congrats @SalmaIbrahim__! What a fantastic way to wrap up your undergraduate experience. Can't wait to see what's next for you! 😀

@sarahpanumn When @J_kunks and I went to a high school to chat a few weeks ago, they wanted to know about how COVID impacted teens, how early experiences might be related to mental health, and what our typical days looked like as grad students!

if you could chat with graduate students who have a wide range of developmental expertise, what kinds of things would you be curious to know about their work or their role as a student? 👀

Being a first-time instructor of record was a doozy, but I loved watching students reflect on what they learned this semester!!

An excellent symposium chaired by @TSimenec on school-based interventions graced #SRA2023 today!! Congrats to this great team with work by @SarahCGillespie and @DrArmandoPina

Our team was ready and excited for #SRA2023 today!
