So I thought I would do an updated intro as there seems to be a lot of new people :)

I love gaming. I play on #Xbox #PS5 #Switch and also love #retrogaming and handheld emulation devices. Love collecting games.

I love #baking and really enjoy #cakedecorating as a hobby and a way to relax.

I am a avid reader and love #books. I read a lot of #psychology, #folklore, #mythology, and #horror.

I work in the #MentalHealth field and have an interest in #forensicpsychology and #clinicalpsychology

"Investigators must also decide whether to draw on experts to interpret footage and present evidence at court. However, the police have no clear guidance to help determine whether and when to draw on such expertise. We observed cases where officers decided against expert input because they were confident of their own interpretations."

I got mentioned, by name, on Megyn Kelly's podcast (2 January, 2022, starting about 01:07:30 to 01:08:45 depending on your podcatcher's ad settings), talking about the Idaho college murders on another podcast (4 Killed For What).

On the one hand, I'm not a huge fan of her style or politics. (Which in no way means I want her silenced; censorship is not the answer... I've just never listened before.) But on the other hand, she appropriately acknowledged me, seemed to like what I'd said elsewhere, and pronounced my name correctly.

I'll take the win.

After initially being hesitant about the migration from Twitter I'm giving #Mastodon a go. Follow here for posts about #ForensicPsychology, #SexScience, and #SocialPsychology (focusing on political research). Hopefully this place can be a bit of a hive for a research-focused messaging!

Just doing my homework…watching a video about murder, violence, and the brain. Normal Monday night. #forensicpsychology #schoolpsychology

Our department runs a weekly series on current issues in #ForensicPsychology: it's free & includes free Continuing Ed credits!

This Tuesday Drs. Lucy Guarnera & Dan Murrie discuss issues evaluating the quality of forensic evaluations themselves.
