I am BEYOND grateful & honestly still in shock about the lovely comments from anonymous external letter writers on my tenure case! I don't know who I'm thanking, but I hope you see this & know that I will treasure these always and they meant the world to get! THANK YOU!

If you have tenured & can share your application materials, I would love to build this section out on our Resources webpage! Please email me for eternal gratitude and as always, credit on the site: l.gabard-durnam@northeastern.edu Please RT to help me reach folks to share!

I continue to believe sharing example materials is useful in academia, so in that spirit, my tenure statements and CV are now available on our Resources for Researchers website (bottom of the New PI page: https://t.co/2mrIbfYx9w )

Chuffed to share I've been selected as the 2026 APA Boyd McCandless Award winner for Div 7! It is a distinct privilege to work in the name of carrying on Boyd's legacy of deep investment in the development of youth and his own mentees through his science. I will do my very best.

Jesus said, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). It is the thief (Satan) who kills, as he was allowed to do even in Jesus' case (for you and me). But

I submitted tenure materials! There is so much to be done still, but I am proud of what we've done already since 2020. I am more grateful than I have words for my lab members, my mentors, my family. May there be many more full and fulfilling years ahead in this academy.

Delighted that PINE Lab will be accepting applications for PhD students to start Fall 2026! Please share with applicants looking for developmental & neuroscience programs? Our website is updated with current studies, questions, and guidance about fit:

It's that time of year again! Thrilled to see so many faculty postings popping up! If you're going on the faculty job market and looking for resources, we have collated what I hope are a number of helpful examples, guides, lists, timelines! https://t.co/SmmHlCSD2i

Early Exposure to Anesthesia May Shift Brain Development @laurel_joy_gd @RachelleGaudet @RivasElenaRivas @mlgredler @DulacLab @VMurthyLab @EngertLab @JeeyunC @MicrobiomeTcell @harvardbrainsci @Harvard @Northeastern https://t.co/9jCNEOm5y5

Early exposure to general anesthetics accelerates learning in infants, according to @Northeastern research, a finding that raises questions about the use of such drugs during critical periods of brain development. https://t.co/DJ9He77b6J

Looking forward to working with @laurel_joy_gd on the program for APA Div 7 (Developmental Psychology)! Here are the highlights for the upcoming meeting!

Let's be honest about what you really want. We’re Vocu AI. We built the world's first AI Voice Model that's actually optimized for: ASMR Waifu Memes Trolls And all the unrestricted content you really want to create, for production, or for yourself. 🔥 Use it PERMANENTLY FREE

Excited to share I'll be co-chairing APA Division 7, developmental psychology! So stoked to learn from senior co-chair the incredible Santiago Morales! And check out this year's incredible lineup of sessions and talks at the APA convention in August!

Thrilled to share our recent publication with amazing collaborators @laurel_joy_gd josh @KirstyDonald7 @gvpolanczyk on infant EEG from two longitudinal cohorts (N=854) across two continents that are under-represented in scientific studies globally. (1/3) https://t.co/gRPM1ZVuNO

This role could serve as a lunchpad for a PhD within my lab! Experience w/ infant data collection preferred. Experience w/ EEG or fMRI data acquisition helpful. Interested? Submit a cover letter, CV, & contact information for 2 recommenders to northeastern.pinelab@gmail.com

We are hiring a post-bacc research coordinator to help on projects exploring EEG and MRI measures of neuroplasticity supporting sensory and language learning in the first 2 years of life! Please repost to help us spread the word! more info here:

🚨 Curating advice for my resources website as I move through this process myself: Advice/do's/don'ts from tenured faculty for the final year leading up to tenure submission? Please re-post and share in replies below! (Also AH can't believe it's time to submit in spring!)

Live on @jointheparti Catching some Pokémon and ranking up Showing off my @YowieOnApe vtuber I made

Do others also get the "finalizing grant" adrenaline kick the last 48 hours before deadline? I feel like I could run 100 miles while I'm cutting down 30 words and checking citations 😆

PINE lab does Portland! Holy Donuts, Eventide, and the International Cryptozoology Museum all on our first road trip itinerary!

📜I just preprinted a little perspective piece / mini review on the history of the study of aperiodic neural activity - arguing there is more out there in literature than one might expect! A historical overview of the study of aperiodic neural activity: https://t.co/MnmpHfU2Mn

I'm so excited to share that my first first-author paper came out in JADD today! We examined how social anxiety impacts social attention in autistic youth. Grateful to have worked with amazing mentors @jasonwgriffin , @J_McPartland , Adam Naples, and Julie Wolf on this project!

CNN: Editorial Choice or Censorship? CNN doesn’t just report the news — it edits reality. Through calculated omissions and biased framing, the network controls the conversation and suppresses stories that challenge its agenda. This episode reveals how censorship has become CNN’s
