So grateful to see our books on belonging for children, educators & parents now published. These books are special thanks to talented co-authors & one amazing illustrator, but the real magic happens when these stories start conversations on belonging 💕
Fostering a sense of belonging in early childhood is crucial for development & wellbeing 🍎 This set of books provides a toolkit for educators to create immersive play environments that teach children about the importance of feeling included & valued. 🔗 https://t.co/NZdANfIlHO

@TweeterAcademic Has anyone assigned a concept map assignment for undergrads based on textbook readings and/or research articles? How did you approach the assignment? I'm teaching a psychology course but all insight is helpful! @AcademicChatter

And I was 30 when I learnt of silent reading. I read, hear & visualize what I read and it makes for painfully slow reading. I still don't believe that people don't see visuals when they read- @AcademicChatter #acad #uked
I just learned that silent reading isn't silent for everyone. Some people hear the words in their heads as they read. 🤯

Would you prefer to lead a lab alone or together with a science buddy? How interesting would be a research institute where joint labs are the standard?!

I knew how to feel when my NIH grant was trashed or funded... but no one prepares you for the feeling when the application you poured your heart into is withdrawn by the agency for not being basic enough. Sad/mad/hurt/confused. I'll be sulking in my office today 😢
