When I get into the office and see TeKisha Rice Wallace, PhD's or Caroline Sanner's door is open.

Do you know someone who does policy-relevant research with adolescents? Consider nominating their recent work for a Social Policy Award!

Come work with us! Our faculty members are pleasant and effective-- a rare combination.

All I want for my loved ones is that they never wake up in the night to a stink bug sitting on their chin.

I cannot wait to add this paper to my classes' reading lists! Yay TeKisha Rice Wallace, PhD !

My one professional jacket and I are headed to #SRA2023. See you and your one professional jacket there?

Come see me *twice* at #SRA2023 today! First up, Researchers as Advocates for Policy Change will help you leverage your expertise to influence policy. 12:45-2:15 in Town & Country Ballroom C. Society for Research on Adolescence

And at 2:30 I'm presenting research on transitions between dating and friendship for same-sex and mixed-sex teen couples! (Palm Room 1, FT17) #SRA2023 Society for Research on Adolescence

Congratulations to Caroline B, Master of Science! In her thesis, Caroline found college students who matriculated in 2020 coped better if they had higher tolerance for ambiguity. We had a great time at her defense (see photo evidence). VT Human Development & Family Science

A packed room for @mari_tarantino 's successful Master's defense! In her thesis, "Queering LGB+ Women's Sexual Scripts," Mari found that LGB+ women reified and reimagined heteronormative scripts about STI and pregnancy prevention. Congrats, Mari! VT Human Development & Family Science

TeKisha Rice Wallace, PhD #OnlineFirst: In interviews with Black Americans, thematic analysis showed that contemporary experiences of discrimination were a filter that echoed the historical devaluing and mistreatment of Black individuals and their relationships. doi.org/10.1177/026540…

We found boys in same-sex relationships gained female friends. Girls in same-sex relationships lost female friends and gained male friends. Through this research, we learn about how reaching the developmental milestone of dating may affect sexual minority teens' friendships.

Teens with same-sex dating partners don't see the same social benefits of dating that their hetero peers do. However, they may find important sources of social support by reorganizing their friendship networks to focus on other-sex friends.

BRB clearing my schedule so I can read this paper tonight while listening to the playlist.

Super proud of Maddie Toman, who successfully defended her Master's thesis on Friday! Maddie's work explores how emerging adults with disabilities perceived the sex education they received from formal and informal sources. VT Human Development & Family Science
