Clinical

Naomi Knoble — Sun, 24 May 2015 10:18:19 +0000

Between 2000 and 2015 I worked in a range of clinical settings including residential treatment, outpatient clinics, private practice, and academic medical centers. I received a Masters in Couples and Family Therapy from the University of Oregon in 2005 and became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Washington in 2009. During my doctoral work, I trained in pediatrics in the Child Development Clinic at the Child Development Rehabilitation Clinic in Eugene, Oregon, the Autism Clinic at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon, pediatric neuropsychology and pediatric psychology at the University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis, MN, and pediatric oncology Survivorship Clinic at Nemours / AI duPont Children’s Hospital in Wilmington, DE.

Collaborating with others to find research-driven solutions is one of the most rewarding parts of my career. Currently I am a research consultant with Mapi Group specializing in patient-centered outcomes (PRO) endpoint strategy development.

Following Journals

naomi — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 19:39:23 +0000

Female Science Professor recently [recently: in grad student time] had a post on keeping up with journal reading where she discussed the challenges of a cluttered email inbox and staying current with publications. I appreciated the comment section as much as the posts itself for the opportunity to learn how others stay afloat with new publications.

I follow academic journals and other publications via RSS feed in Google Reader. This system works for me as I have journals filed together by broad topics that are relevant to my current work (e.g., child maltreatment, culture and identity, child development, etc.). I also subscribe to research journals outside my discipline (e.g., criminology, public health, neuroscience) and this has been a helpful way to become familiar with work in related fields. My morning routine usually includes scanning Reader which helps me stay afloat with subscriptions [and stay somewhat current with life outside of grad school].

Many of the FSP commenters also have subscriptions to PubMed search terms which seems incredibly helpful and will be my next keeping-up-with-journals experiment.

Beyond academic journals I also follow Research Blogging, Futurity, and other projects that disseminate research through commentary or aggregation. My latest favorite site to follow is LSE’s Impact of Social Sciences project as they post on great ideas for disseminating findings.

How do you stay current with your research reading?

The Society for Research on Adolescence conference was a great success. I posted a number of interviews with some of the conference presenters who have an international or global focus for their work over at the SRA Blog. Check out the comments and advice of:

emerging researcher Taveeshi Gupta
adolescent career development researcher Erik Porfeli
Guillermo Bernal, researcher of culturally sensitive intervention adaptations
Robert Blum, international survey researcher
adolescent political development researcher Connie Flanagan
Cigdem Kagitcibasi, adolescent well-being researcher

Hope to see you at SRA 2014 in Austin, Texas!

Elsevier withdrew their support of the Research Works Act!

Next up, consider supporting the Federal Research Public Access Act.

The Social Justice Doughnut

naomi — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:15:16 +0000

There is a great post today at Grist that beared reposting and commentary:

The doughnut of justice: A new way to think about growth

The ideas presented embed social justice, specifically distributive justice, within a framework of environmental justice. The video segment by Kate Raworth of Oxfam International is worth viewing. There were many compelling points in her video, however one point that stood out to me was this: It would take 1% of the global food supply to end hunger for the 13% of the world’s population who do not have enough food to eat.

In my doctoral program, the meaning and definition of social justice is a topic of frequent discussion. The perspective presented by Raworth of distributive justice, including adequate food, and resources that have been thoughtfully conserved is congruent with my own ideas about social justice.

What is your definition of social justice? What are your thoughts on Raworth’s ideas?

Open Social Science?

naomi — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:06:06 +0000

Recently the bloggers at smaller questions took on the topic of open science. If you are not already familiar with the idea of open science, I highly recommend their post.

I continue to be in awe of the momentum within the STEM fields toward disruption of the long-standing paradigm for conducting research as well as publishing research. It may be due to my frame of reference as a doctoral student, but it seems there is not as much momentum or dialogue around open science or open access within social sciences.

What are your thoughts on the topic? What do you think about the level of engagement among social scientists in the conversation about open science and open access?
