Great thread (and article) about the tension between supporting student mental health through encouraging rest and breaks, while also recognizing that approach-oriented coping builds resilience + avoidance & withdrawal can ironically undermine student well-being

The Society for Neuroscience Meeting is great fun!

I'm so proud of Hailey McKillop'24 presenting her research at the Society for Neuroscience Meeting today! She did a great job!

Assumption Psychology students and faculty recently attended @PsychNewEngland's annual meeting. Assumption faculty member Dr. Adam Volungis serves as NEPA President.

Check out our newest preprint! Our talented @KellianneAlexa1 investigates how synapses are eliminated during development! @FrancisLab4 #synapses #celegans #neuroscience #neuralcircuits biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It is such a joy to have friends who are so inspiringly creative! I'm looking at you, @SaRoseCav !

Amazing article with insightful quotes from TUnE BIO member, Dr. Bryan Dewsbury! chronicle.com/article/what-d…

Excited for our first neuroscience presentation of the semester by Dr. Mark Alkema!

Kellie is an amazing graduate student and person, it is exciting to see Kellie earn this well deserved award!

Let’s be brave and reduce content. I promise you. If done thoughtfully, and with the aim of centering humanism, the students will be more than fine. Inclusive and active pedagogies reduce academic outcome gaps and improve long-term performance | PLOS ONE journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

We have a new logo for Transforming Assessment, Feedback, & Grading in Undergraduate Biology Education Network (TUnE-Bio - an NSF RCN-UBE Incubator)! PIs @SaRoseCav @Mic_Lemon
