In the 2020-2021 academic year, I had set myself a rejection goal of 15.
Happy to report that I've doubled that goal with 30 rejections! 🔥💃
Why do I set myself rejection goals? A small 🧵
Due to a misdiagnosis, I almost did not graduate high school. And here I am, 11 years later, turning in my Ph.D. thesis to my advisor.
It takes one horrible doctor to derail your life and a village to put it back together stronger. I'm eternally grateful for my village.
🚨OMG OMG OMG. Got a second paper acceptance today!!
"Young children do not perceive distributional fairness as a moral norm" is now accepted at Developmental Psychology.
A huge thank you to our wonderful editor, reviewers, and collaborators. I will share the link soon!
We should normalize getting rejected a lot more than we do. Rejections are scary and many avoid them by not applying to the opportunities they could really benefit from.
But if you're not applying, you can't win!
Submitted my first ever tenure track job application! I wish my first-year undergrad self could see this moment. She would be so proud! 🤓🥰

If you see me dancing at

Here is my out-of-office message to you all:
I'm reunited with my parents after almost 2 years!!! I also have almost no internet access soooo... See you all in September! ✌
Words are not enough to convey how honored I feel to receive the Best Dissertation in Affective Science Award from

This would not have been possible without my wonderful advisor Dr. Amrisha Vaish,

Be on the lookout for our podcast episode on Getting Curious With Jonathan Van Ness!
Listen up, I'm going to give you the best-kept secret to surviving the fall semester: CAKE.
Seriously, once a week, bake some cake and put it in the fridge. When October gets you sad, eat it!
I'm shaking~~~~ I won the 1st Place Award **AND** the People's Choice Award

Spent the last hour with my RA looking at funded summer internships in dev psych. We have already applied for summer funding for her to stay at UVA, but we won't hear back for a while..
So I decided to make a thread for internships that are out there

Our paper is accepted for publication!!!!!
We looked at how young children and adults physiologically (using pupil dilation) respond to moral and conventional norm violations.
Participants showed differential physiological arousal to moral and conventional norm violations.
🥰 I am so honored to be the recipient of this year's International Studies Office Graduation Award for Graduate Academic Excellence
@UVA
🥰
Could not have done it without my amazing department
@UVAPsyc
and equally amazing mentors, friends, and colleagues!
Our friends, their families, our colleagues, classmates have lost their lives. At this point almost every one in Turkey has lost someone they know.
I have never felt pain quite like this before, and I hope that no one ever has to. 💔
The wait is almost over. I bought flight tickets to go see my parents this summer!!!! I had not seen them since late 2019 so this means **everything*** to me.

💃💃 LET'S GO!!!💃💃

This 🧵is going viral, so I want to reiterate that my goal is not to impose my personal rejection goals onto others but to normalize rejections in general.
I also want to acknowledge that I'm in an incredibly privileged position to have the time+support
It's how I cope with uncertainty and stress. 😅
I was also *extremely* lucky to
1) not get covid or not lose anyone to covid,
2) have a supportive department/uni that paid my salary,
3) have a supportive partner.
Would not have been possible without the help!
So you’re telling me I can go for a mini walk around the gardens at lunchtime?
@DukePsychNeuro
might be the most conveniently located psychology department ever!
Super duper excited to announce that I received the 2021
@UVAPsyc
Graduate Teaching Award and will be nominated for the All-University Graduate Teaching Award!!!
Keep your fingers crossed for me 🤞🤞🤞
I love researching, teaching, and mentoring. Needless to say that I'm incredibly honored to have been selected for the
@UVA
Rebecca Boone Memorial Award for Excellence in Teaching!
I can't begin to describe how exciting it was to talk to
@BostonGlobe
about making our science accessible to everyone.
I am extra excited that
@PsychResList
got a shoutout in the national news!!!
The first half of my dissertation on children's perceptions of unfairness was recently published in Dev Psych
@APA
!!
We compared 4-, 6-, and 8-year-olds' evaluations and categorization of harm-based moral, unfairness, and conventional transgressions.

#AcademicTwitter
got an organizational question.
This is how I store all my application materials. I also have an Excel master doc listing everything.
Is there a more efficient way to do it? Faculty, how do you organize your funded and unfunded grants/awards?
@AcademicChatter
One of these days I will write "judgment" correctly on the first try.
Cheers,
A bilingual moral psychologist who wants to add unnecessary "e"s in judgment
Am I the only one getting confused by all the 'S's and 'P's in Social Psychology conferences and journals?
Just to name a few:
#SPSP
#SSSP
#SISSP
#SSPSI
#SESP
Since then I have organized symposia with some of those professors, met up to chat at conferences, and became colleagues.
Why? Because your rejection isn't personal. It is about the fit with that lab's interests at the time.
You got this 💪

One of the perks of being involved in multiple labs is seeing how each lab operates. I can't help but make mental notes to myself which aspects of each lab I want to emulate when I have my own lab. 👩🏫

I guess even a pandemic doesn't change my travel habits much. I'm at the gate way too early with 3 hours to kill...
On another news, I'll get to reunite with my parents in ~18 hours!
Ending the semester with a talk
@Stanford
's Developmental Area Brownbag. Thank you all so much for inviting me and for all the incredible questions!
It is fun to realize that before I defend my dissertation, I will have "defended" my work to so many others I follow &respect! 😂
Ready for the final year of
#gradschool
! Three talks scheduled for this year:
- Brown University Developmental Psychology brown bag
- George Mason University, Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience colloquium
- Franklin & Marshall College, Psychology colloquium
Why am I so happy in this picture from last night? I got to chat with a reporter about
@PsychResList
and why it matters for making academia more transparent and accessible.
This is my "I love me" wall/corner.
Sometimes when I'm made to think that I don't belong in academia, I look at this corner and remind myself that this many people can't be wrong!
I'm here to stay!
This is my "I love me" shelf. Sometimes I think it's unnecessary, but then every month or so someone will say some gaslighting bs to me.
Then it's really nice to have around to remember, "oh yeah... I don't actually have to listen to that." ✌
