This week I learned how to do exploratory SEM in R, had my first run at elevation that didn’t feel like garbage, and had my first (close) encounter with a snake 🐍 🌵⛰️ Am I official yet, @PsychDeptUNM?

Israel needs to be in Texas NEXT WEEK and we are so close to having the necessary funding to support his relocation. Please help us with the final push if you can 💙
I created a GoFundMe which can be found here. I set a goal of $3,000 to cover associated fees: gofund.me/ebd5c260 You can also venmo me if that is preferred: @ cassie-boness If a third of my followers contributed ~$1 each, we would reach the goal. THANK YOU!

Final day in my post-bacc position w/ @UWRehabMed 🥺 WOW I am struggling to describe how meaningful this time has been. @KevinAlschuler, @DawnEhde, & @uwmsrehabwell - thank you for 3 years of growth (and laughter!) @APADiv22 will always have a place in my ❤️.

BREAKING: SCOTUS rule criminalizes homeless people. Here’s why it matters to drug policy🧵 Everyone deserves a safe place to sleep. Yet our government has failed to provide adequate housing, shelter & services. Instead of solving it, politicians are passing laws to punish people.
There are so many incredible resources put together by RAs, grad students, and organizations like @psychinout and @NextGenPsych that got me through the nerve wracking but rewarding post-bacc job search this time last year. I compiled a list of these resources along with some…
📢This student has been accepted into a PhD program and is now facing SEVIS/visa fees (~$535) plus relocation costs. Crowdsourcing worked amazing last time so if you'd like to support this student from my lab, please Venmo me (@ cassie-boness) or DM me for other options. Thanks🧡
Alternatively, if you'd like to make a donation in support of this student, I'd be happy to facilitate payment of the fees. They seem to range from $70-$90 depending on program. This is almost 2-3 times the typical monthly income where the prospective applicant is located.
You know you work in a cool lab when your coffee break turns into a lesson on multilevel modeling 🤓 ☕️📈 Thanks, @MistrettaErin! #StatsAndStarbs @sydney_pattison
