Welcome to my academic twitter 👋🏼 it seems like I’m behind the times but I’m here now! Views my own.

New scoping review: #Neurodevelopmental f/u in children with #CHD. ➡️22 different f/u pathways, 4 countries w/variable implementation ➡️Barriers: costs &accessibility ➡️Need: multidisciplinary teams &stakeholder engagement onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Statements made about a fetus during prenatal care visits by health care providers may have long-term consequences for that child. These unintended consequences are clearly preventable with training. Check out our study documenting why we think this is an important target!

excited to share that I plan to recruit a Clinical Psych PhD student this cycle to join my lab at @AuburnU. Ideal for those interested in parent-child relationship processes and internalizing problems. Lots of opportunities for fun dyadic science & great child clinical training!

Saying an effect size is "small" or "medium" is meaningless. But we didn't have a set of guidelines for saying it better. Now we do, thanks to this awesome piece by @DavidFunder and Dan Ozer--I think everyone doing behav science research should read this. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

📢 New pub! We found 3 profiles showing differences in how infants behaviorally, but not physiologically, respond to the Still-Face emerge as early as 2m! Maternal sensitivity was a sig. predictor of profiles, underscoring its important role in infants’ regulatory development 1/2

@ChoateEllison My queen 👑😍Woohoo!!!

And here we go!! Day one of internship complete!✅

👋this @SRCDtweets paper synthesizes qual data from indigenous caregivers & reminds us to stop applying Western, dyadic attachment theory to all kids. It is a banger & will make you question everything you ever knew & loved about parenting observations. doi.org/10.1111/cdev.1…

@ArielBlakey1 @BUWomensGuild @BU_Tweets YESSSS! Congratulations 🎉

Incredibly honored to receive a $5,000 award from the @BUWomensGuild! This award will help me disseminate my dissertation research & continue amplifying the voices and experiences of patients with SCD and their families at national conferences while I’m on internship.

GREAT DOHAD Dork read. 🤰🏻We have to think about the postnatal dyad in prenatal stress research. Prenatal stress impacts both mom & baby & their connection, & this dyad is where we see the most stress buffering for kids exposed to adversity. Many key cites doi.org/10.1097/YCO.00…

Congratulations to one of this year's recipients of the Award for Excellence in Mentoring Research Trainees, Clinical Futures' own Dr. Chén Kenyon! Nominators praised Dr. Kenyon as an accessible and consistent mentor. Read the Cornerstone blog post here: bit.ly/3VoeSdr

🔍Our latest meta-analysis on caregiver sensitivity & child attachment, from 230 effect sizes & 23,000 dyads, reveals r =.25. Maternal and paternal sensitivity effects are similar. Key methodological moderators found. w @AADeneault in @APA Psych Bulletin psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-81…

And what if we changed the question from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”. 🥺 Wowowow, thank you, Dr. Akbar #thisispedspsych #SPPAC2024 @SPPDiv54
