AND. 11 years of pouring every ounce of energy I have into teaching, being a better teacher, researching teaching, teaching other teachers...I'm tired AF. 1/ With 2, going on 3, years of pandemic teaching in the mix, I've never been more caring, empathetic, or flexible with my students before.

All y'all psychologists who stand on your PhD hierarchy should be ashamed of yourselves. This insistence that only people with PhDs are important to @APA will have me leaving this organization. What a stance for exclusivity and disenfranchisement of voices. If this is truly the value, mission, and goal of this organization, it is not my organization.

The internet asked for it, and so we shall (hopefully) provide: A diverse expert registry for psychological science. I unveil to you the "DEEP Database" - Diverse Expertise Exists in Psychology. There are many things needed to be successful and I need your help! #PsychScience 1/n The purpose of the database is to provide easy access to experts in psychology who rep: #PoC, #IndigenousScholar, #LGBTQ, the gender continuum, a unique voice that often goes unheard. Modeled after @womenalsoknow @POCalsoknow etc. 2/n

Currently in a Mechanisms Network of Expertise (MNoE) workshop/session at #SIRC2019 The room is packed (standing room only) so hopefully my live-tweeting will help folks that couldn't fit. @ImplementCollab also has a webinar on this topic.
