Earlier this week, I was invited to evaluate student research presentations at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus's second clinical psychology #symposium
A huge thanks to the Master of Clinical Psychology team for having me and also A BIG CONGRATS to all students for a job well done! 👏🥳
p/s:
we also talked about how #AI is gonna be a huge part of our lives, and why it’s so important to stay mindful and intentional in how we use it, especially in #clinicalpsychology research + practice 🤖
Come join this hackathon event to learn more about the amazing efforts of ABRIR (abrirpsy.org) on increasing representation of Global South researchers in psychological science.
📅 Date: 23rd October 2024 (Wednesday)
🕒 Time: 7AM or 3PM UTC (choose one or attend both!)

Don't miss this chance to shape the future of psychological research! 🚀
Thank you all for being a part of ABRIR's (abrirpsy.org) panel session at the Big Team Science 2024 Conference yesterday! 🤗
It was great meeting you all & we hope you've been inspired with the efforts that ABRIR has been working on so far to bridge the gap between the Global South & the Global North in psychological research 🌏

Slides for a panel session for the third annual Big Team Science Conference, held virtually via Zoom October 8-10, 2024. Abstract Big-team and open science efforts have made great advancements. Specifically, big-team science, through large scale collaborations, has resulted in amazing progress in a range of scientific fields. In psychology, big-team and open science have helped improve methodological rigor and transparency as well as increase statistical power. However, both have fallen into many of the same problems that psychology as a field has in the past. There is a lack of representation of Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) researchers, as well as other marginalized scientists. This lack of representation extends to samples, methodologies, and theoretical foundations, which hinders the advancement of generalizable psychological knowledge. Various academic associations, among them Advancing Big-team Reproducible Science through Increased Representation (ABRIR), founded in 2022, have started to address some of these issues. ABRIR seeks to diagnose the possible barriers that researchers from LMIC face as well as potential paths forward. Through collaborations with other associations (e.g. PSA, FORRT, COS) ABRIR has begun to increase access to open science educational materials (e.g. translation of materials, regional webinars in local languages). Further, this summer, ABRIR Hub leaders around the world have been holding regional events to, in part, diagnose barriers and seek possible paths forward to promote the participation of students and researchers in big-team science and open science practices. Through this panel session with representatives of ABRIR Hubs from Southeast Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa, we plan to communicate some of our experiences and those of our regional Hub event attendees. By sharing our voices from the Global South/LMIC, we hope to raise awareness about barriers faced by researchers in LMIC and thus improve representation in Big-Team Science.
The Big Team Science 2024 Conference is back and I'm going to be part of ABRIR's panel session on 8th October!
Join me together with Nadia S. Corral-Frias, Sandesh Dakal, @nikitaghodke, Alma Jeftic, @alelazic, & Kwizera Rulinda on 8th Oct at 2PM (UTC time).
This means that it would be 10PM Malaysian time (GMT +8)! 🇲🇾
The panel session will be sharing insights on the barriers faced by psychological researchers & students from the #GlobalSouth.
Are you ready for another round of Engaging with Vietnam? This year marks the 15th anniversary of this remarkable #conference! 🎉 A series of event will be organised around the overarching theme on "Knowledge Production, Education, Creative Industries, Vietnam, and the World” at various locations within #Vietnam & globally from August 2024 to mid-2025.
