I'm pleased to announce the release of our book, "An Introduction to Behavior Analysis," published by @WileyPsychology. My coauthors, Greg Madden & Florence DiGennaro Reed, & I spent 6 yrs writing this to get it right. #behaviortwitter #behavioranalysis wiley.com/en-us/An+Introduct… 1/

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother during pregnancy. A crude unadjusted analysis found only a preliminary 5% risk, but once you adjust for family by matching using sibling controls (who didn’t get autism), the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0% 📉. (Fun fact: I used to do drug safety epidemiology and have been whistleblower against big pharma when their drugs were dangerous—so I know a few things about drug safety data). Thread 🧵.

Hi Friends! Giving it one more try and running for @APA Board of Directors again to be a strong voice for psychological science. More details to come, but I'd so appreciate your #1 vote when ballots are released on August 1.
ALT A campaign flyer with Bill Stoops' photo, a short profile of Bill and a list of his leadership roles in APA (past president/council rep of division 28, past member and chair of Board of Convention Affairs, Past member of advocacy coordinating committee and editor emeritus of ECP) and other organizations (federal advocacy coordinator, Kentucky Psychological Association, treasurer and past president of College on Problems of Drug Dependence, treasurer of Association for clinical and translational science)
I am pleased to announce a 1-day conference on translational topics in behavior analysis, co-sponsored by @APBAhome and Institutes for Behavior Resources, Inc.! This will be a virtual event on June 12, 2024. Stay tuned for registration details. DM me for any questions or info.
Hey @hilarispublish2, I just found this paper online. Looks like I’m the sole author and all my contact info is correct. Yet, I did *NOT* write it. Seems like AI gibberish. Care to explain? Please retract and remove it IMMEDIATELY. hilarispublisher.com/open-ac… @C0PE @RetractionWatch
This is going to be 🔥. Stay tuned! KU peeps *definitely* need to check this out. #RCJH
Yo, behavior nerds! I'm working on something you'll like!
Tell your friends and colleagues there's about to be a film on some of the nerdiest and coolest things in behavior analysis! #behaviortwitter
Fellow researchers in #behavioraleconomics -- if you're doing operant demand work in the area of public policy, we'd love for you to submit your work to our upcoming JEAB special issue! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page… Please share or RT. Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

"These findings show the reliability and stability of delay discounting and demonstrate its utility in the evaluation of important health behaviors like cigarette smoking." psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-…
Science conferences are dull. But Tom Critchfield & I propose we need only turn to baseball to reignite the “fun.” Join us in a 3-part blog about what we can learn from barnstorming teams like the Indianapolis Clowns and @TheSavBananas. science.abainternational.org…
Part 2 explores Jesse Cole's (@YellowTuxJesse) "Fans First" (lioncrest.com/books/fans-fir…) that details the Savannah Bananas' approach to flipping the baseball experience to bring in new fans & reignite passion for America's Past Time. Imagine making scientific conferences fun again!
Be sure to read all the way through Part 3 and partake in our contest for proposing the best ways to make conferences fun again, inspired by barnstorming baseball. The best response submitted in the survey portal will win a signed copy of "Fans First" by @YellowTuxJesse!

JABA has a call for papers on Applications of Contingency Management to Promote Health Behavior. We're fortunate to have Jesse Dallery, Wendy Donlin-Washington, and John Roll as Guest Editors. Please forward this to those conducting CM research.

Incredibly proud to announce that my wife, Florence DiGennaro Reed (not on Twitter), has accepted a position as Chief Operating Officer at the BACB, starting in January. Her OBM skills, leadership abilities, and vision are second-to-none. She's going to do amazing things there!!!
It was an absolute honor to receive the @SEABscience Don Hake Award for Translational Research from @apadiv25 at the @APA convention.
Anyone attending #APA2023 this weekend? I’m cooking up a fun talk on ways behavior analysts can better engage the broader world through our translational efforts. Consider yourself personally invited! (I’d also love to say “hi”!) xcdsystem.com/apa/program/pB…

Friend who are @APA members: I'm on the ballot for the Board of Directors. I want to ensure science retains a strong voice on the BoD. You'll get your voting link on August 1 and I'd appreciate you ranking me your #1 vote! @apadivision50 @APADiv28 @division_55 @apadiv25
Nice try @Enterprise Rent-a-Car, but I’m not letting you get away with "hail damage" scam. Is this standard practice? (spoiler: it appears to be...). Buyer beware 🧵. ATTN: @BBB @CBSNewsColorado @DenverChannel @9NEWS 1/
Lesson 1: don’t rent from @Enterprise
Lesson 2: always do a video walk around check (I typically do, but somehow didn’t this time)

I will no longer use @Enterprise because of this. Hopefully this thread is helpful for others. What do you have to say, @Enterprise? 12/x
