Colleagues . The word you are looking for is colleagues. @AACAP many of said colleagues are scheduled to speak at the upcoming meeting and may be reconsidering their role and value in this society. Whoever is running this account needs to stop.

Audience? They truly don’t get it, do they? What about colleagues, other mental health professionals, or clinical scientists? I guess psychiatry simply can’t conceive the idea that psychology is on its same level

3 yrs ago Trump came to a devastated Puerto Rico and threw paper towels at us. I’d wish him the same resources and fighting chance he gave us back then, but they literally left us to die, so that’d be a death sentence.

The text of DeSantis' higher education bill has been released. It's as terrifying as the press release suggested it would be. Florida HB 999 would enact the most draconian and censorious restrictions on higher education in the history of this country.

sometimes you study things in a vacuum, because they’re the right questions to ask. Other times they hit your neighborhood and you become your research. After months of complaints because of violent people around the neighborhood, this is what we get.
