Excited to bring developmental neuroscience out of the lab and into the community at the Minnesota State Fair! 🎡🧠 Engaging with families in a naturalistic setting helps us better understand how kids learn and grow. #StateFairScience #BrainInTheWild

Congrats to @drkaiip, Alexis Brieant, and all of the other new APS Rising Stars!

@dylanggee Thanks Dylan! I’m incredibly grateful for your mentorship and support over years! It’s truly a team effort!

@Chops310 Congrats Bill!!!!!

Hey! This may come as a surprise, but I'm happy to announce that I've accepted a position as an associate professor at Washington University in St. Louis. It won't start *next* year (August 2026). I'm bummed to leave Michigan and all my friends but excited for this next step!

@darbysaxbe So sorry to hear that and this is so frustrating and sad for the future of science :/

I posted this article about my student's grant cancellation this morning. A few minutes ago, I learned that another very talented student in my lab had their funding cancelled too. I'm heartbroken -- not just for my students, but for the future of science. darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/my-students-…

8-year longitudinal study in Developmental Psychology led by @drkaiip challenges the "model minority" stereotype surrounding Chinese American youth. Read the article selected as noteworthy and impactful by the editor: bit.ly/43sX590

@ChanMeingold @PurdueHHS @LifeAtPurdue Amazing congrats!! Will see you at SRCD soon!

📢 I’m beyond excited to share that I’ve landed my dream job - I'll be joining the Department of Human Development and Family Science at @PurdueHHS @LifeAtPurdue as a tenure-track Assistant Professor starting Fall 2025! ✨ #boilerup

@Dr_BCallaghan Congrats!!!!

Technically effective July 1st, but I need a celebration today. You are looking at Associate Professor with Tenure at UCLA. Tickled pink! 🤓🥳

@shuquan_chen @HarvardPsy That’s amazing Mark!!! Congrats for this extraordinary achievement!

I am thrilled to announce that starting in July 2026, I’ll join the Department of Psychology at Harvard University @HarvardPsy as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Clinical area!

Incredible news in New York called by the AP! Issue 1 wins, codifying gender identity/sexual orientation into their constitution, as well as reproductive healthcare and autonomy. This ensures trans and queer people remain protected, and codifies abortion rights in the state!

Join us for an upcoming virtual info session on our top-ranked PhD in Developmental Psychology program. Register now and attend the session on Oct. 30 from 4-5 pm CT. z.umn.edu/icdphdinfo

@El_GioRamos @UCBerkeley @BerkeleyPsych Congrats!!! Cal is too lucky to have you!

I'm ecstatic to share that starting July 2025, I'll join @UCBerkeley as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the @BerkeleyPsych Department! This is a dream come true for an immigrant from Mexico who left everything and everyone he knew behind to relocate to the US in 2013

It was so fun to talk with @drkaiip about why he wanted to study kids' brains at the Minnesota State Fair. His advice for other neuroscientists? "Really try to do research outside of your comfort zone...sometimes you just have to get messy."

Thanks @avaskham and @_TheTransmitter for featuring our latest work at the state fair! Check this out!

@xiaoransunpsu @jcmichener Congrats so happy for you, especially on your first try!!!

Very excited that we are awarded with this NIMH R01 grant to study adolescents' social media management strategies and their mental health! Thanks @jcmichener for working on this news story! fsos.umn.edu/fsos-assistant…

Major academic publishers are getting sued for unlawfully appropriating billions of dollars. Prof. Lucina Qazi Uddin, a neuroscientist at UCLA, has sued these six academic publishers Elsevier, Wolters Kluwer, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, Sage, and Springer Nature. The lawsuit claims that these publishers violate antitrust laws on the following three grouds: 1. The publishers have colluded to fix the price of peer review at zero. 2. These publishers agree to not compete with each by making it obligatory for researchers to submit their work to only one journal at a time. 3. These publishers prohibit scholars from sharing scientific advancements while they are under peer review, which can take up to a year. Here's a comparison of the publishers' revenue and what they pay authors and reviewers Elsevier: $3.9 billion Springer Nature: $2 billion Wolters Kluwer: $1.6 billion Wiley: $1.8 billion Taylor & Francis: $800 million Sage: $500 million They pay: Authors: $0 Peer reviewers: $0

@laurel_joy_gd Thanks Laurel, if you are ok, I’d love to put the resources you have compiled at the resource section of my slides and credit you!

@drkaiip yay! thank you for sharing your experiences and taking the time to help others Ka!

Navigating the academic job market can feel like entering a "black box" with unclear rules. Join me tomorrow as I share personal insights and lessons from my own journey through the academic job market to help you succeed. Let’s demystify the process together! Q&A included.

Great piece on the UMN DtoD research building at the @mnstatefair. Stop by this weekend! app.startribune.com/whether-its-fo…

So cool Ip Team!! We can't wait for your next day at the D2D Research Facility! @mnstatefair @UMN_CEHD #researchonastick

@ElisaTruccoPhD @FIU Congrats Elisa, so well-deserved!!

I'm immensely grateful to @FIU's Faculty Senate for being recognized with the Excellence in Advising and Mentorship Award. This is the most rewarding part of my job and I feel so lucky to work with such brilliant junior scientists every day.
