I love it when I see a public health ad or PSA that is so effective and manages to reach multiple audiences at once.

Today our lab talked about when you forgot to read an article for journal club, how do you spend the 5 minutes you have? We all said abstract 1st, and I always go to tables and figures next, but folks varied. (Inspired by the student finishing up an assignment during a lab party)

For folks who’d wanted to see my talk on adolescent sleep but couldn’t make the webinar, here is the recording from the Illinois chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics: https://t.co/7zk6rsO3h1 #sleep #adolescenthealth #sleepscience

I used ranked choice voting to winnow topic areas for an upcoming assignment. Now I need to pick good evidence-based interventions for the students to work on adapting to a new population or setting — have a favorite to recommend in one of these topic areas?

I'll be presenting a free webinar on adolescent sleep this month for the Illinois AAP chapter -- and while it is aimed at pediatricians and other healthcare providers for adolescents, it may also be helpful for counselors, parents, etc. Register here: https://t.co/y1UkK0GHH0

It took me awhile, but I dug out the laminator and updated our Sleep Equity lab bulletin board with this year’s students, teams, and projects. I am such a visual person, and this also can make it easier to steer new lab members towards projects that might need them the most.

Come join us at Purdue’s Memorial Mall for Power Nap Day with the Sleep Equity Lab today! We have hammocks, candy, prizes, and info about how to #napwisely.

NEW STUDY: Results “challenge the notion that evening chronotype is a risk factor for psychiatric disorders per se, suggesting instead that evening types are at a greater risk for psychiatric disorders due to circadian misalignment"🦉⏰ @anguscburns @circadian247 @jlane_boston

So very proud of our lab’s students and seeing the work they put into this paying off! @PurduePubHealth @PurdueHHS

On Friday, the @LifeAtPurdue Board of Trustees approved a posthumous degree to be awarded to Sara Brown (non-thesis Master of Science from @PurdueHDFS). Sara passed away in August 2023. We are so proud of you, Sara💛🖤

It has been so very awesome watching our Sleep Equity Lab students dive in to the #SLEEP2024 meeting, including the excellent @ResearchSleep trainee symposium and some great dinner opportunities to talk sleep science (and oh so much more) with @PhilipChengPhD & @kellybaronphd.

Attending #SLEEP2024 with a special plus one: my daughter ❤️ thanks @ResearchSleep, The dependent care award, make it possible to actively participate this year as a first-time mom #parentinscience #mommademia

Guest speakers could be remote, pre-recorded, or potentially in person — but if you’re in sleep and have a story like this, I would love to make room for our students to hear it. Please feel free to share — and if you need a speaker like this for your class, please hit me up.

Increasingly I meet students with amazing ideas and insights but bogged down by myths around what the pathway to success looks like, and could really use more real life examples from folks with non-linear paths, who needed to ask for help or accommodations, shift targets, etc.

Sleep folks, I am looking for guest speakers for my 2023-24 classes — people who can talk not just about their research and/or clinical work related to sleep, but also about some of their individual struggles or mistakes along the way. Could that be you or someone you know?

What is ChatGPT good for if it can’t convert my CV and NIH biosketch into an updated NSF biosketch?

Just got my grant summary statement. Please, to all who read this: Never be "Reviewer 2." And if you decide to be that person, I hope all your reviewers are "Reviewer 2."

This is such a thoughtful look at not only the ways in which our current mental health system perpetuate harm but how we can learn from each other and do better. Thanks @UWCoLab! https://t.co/67mU1vOFGr

I love that they got talking about not only how the study could have been improved, but how to use those insights to help our next studies have greater internal and external validity. <3
