It feels like the perfect night, to dress up like Swifties! 🎶🫶Today my grad student @TobarAllison surprised me with THE BEST Swiftie sweatshirt to match her Winnie the Pooh Swiftie sweatshirt! Y’all, I work with simply the best people 💜 @REACHLabVT @VT_Psychology

IPV, Sexual Assault, and Violence Researchers! We need more of us on the place with bluer skies. I made a starter pack to help us connect. For those wondering what a starter pack is: a single-click way to follow all investigators in this area! 🟦☁️: @meaganbrem

So proud of grad student @TobarAllison’s first ABCT talk! The Couples SIG put on an excellent panel, reminding us that partners’ individual & cultural identities matter, & interact, in important ways that contribute to relationship & individual well-being. @ABCTNOW @REACHLabVT


A team of MUSC researchers secured critical funding of up to $5 million, expected over six years, from @NIDAnews to address the overlooked link between intimate partner violence, PTSD and opioid use disorder. Learn more.👇 bit.ly/3Z5bqaz

@MeaganBrem, @TobarAllison, and @EmilySjafii as a Bridgerton character with department gossip from Lady Whistledown, Eeyore, and the Matchmaker from Mulan at the @VT_Psychology Halloween celebration! 🎃👻 We may work hard, but we’re always down to clown!
🥳So incredibly proud of you @TobarAllison! Allison mastered intensive longitudinal data analyses & communicated implications for sexual violence prevention like a pro. Can’t wait to see this published! You’re crushing this grad school thing - CONGRATS! @VT_Psychology

Presenting one of my favourite papers from my PhD on ethics around sexual trauma research at #ISTSS2024 today. We found that survivors were not retraumatised by participating and they feel that the benefits of such research outweighs the potential risks of distress. @WFFlackJR
This team continues to amaze me every week! I’m so lucky to get to work with this dedicated, creative, and engaging group of students 😊 We couldn’t do science without them! @REACHLabVT @VT_Psychology @VT_Science
