Hearing Dr. Christine Blasey Ford (let’s stop dropping the Dr. from her name, folks) coming forward hit close to home. I don't know her, but I have the same job and I shudder to think of the attempts to destroy her character. Any of us could be destroyed in the very same way 1/12 The job of academic clinical psychologist involves a lot of interacting with the public--we teach students, see patients, and publish research papers. Here are ways you could make any one of us look like a horrible person. 2/12

Sadly, I agree. I edited an academic book, co-authoring two of the chapters. It was a lot of work for very little ROI. #neveragain

First, it was time consuming to get chapter authors and herd them thru the process, keeping chapters in consistent format and on time. Nearly impossible.

Q2. Content is key in #SoMe! Where do you find it? How do you keep up a daily content feed? #behavioralmedchat A2. I post what I read. I don’t go out looking just for something to post. I also don’t post everything I read---I will post it if it seems like others could be interested or if I want to save it for later or both! #behavioralmedchat

Q1 for #behavioralmedchat. Why social media??? A1. Because that is where advocacy occurs. Find me an org that does advocacy well but is not on social media. If you want to have an impact on an issue, you have to use the channels by which people get information and communicate. #behavioralmedchat

This op ed by @alexandrasking says Lauren Groff should indeed have answered the question on how she balances family and work. I respectfully disagree and here’s why. A thread. 1/14 cnn.com/2018/07/29/opi… IMHO the question is inappropriate for any venue in which a woman is asked to speak about her work. It robs us of air time to talk about our work and ideas. 2/14

This question has been coming up a lot lately, so I thought I would start a thread—plz add to it!

Your grant deadline is fast approaching and you are pretty behind schedule. You wonder: “Should I cram and submit now OR wait until next cycle?” 1/11 Have all of your co-Is and consultants had a chance to read it thoroughly and respond? Make there is enough time remaining to get their read on its readiness. If there isn't, then wait. 2/11

I’ve been reviewing a lot of grants lately and have some advice on things that negatively impact scores on proposals for behavioral intervention studies. A thread! 1/12 The intervention is not based on any conceptual/theoretical model. No discussion or testing of any processes of change. In other words, investigator doesn’t seem to know how or why intervention will impact the proposed outcomes. 2/12
