Article Abstract
Objective: The American Psychological Association (APA) defines early career (EC) status as occurring in the 10 years following earning a doctorate. As EC pediatric and behavioral health psychologists (ECPP) who work with and conduct research with adolescents and young adults (AYA), we have noted that our own and our peers' experiences during this career phase have mirrored that of our AYA research participants and patients. Namely, no longer scaffolded by training milestones and supervision, yet still often viewed as green, EC psychologists may often feel and be treated like they are experiencing a career-based emerging adulthood. Despite the presence of some institutional support during this career phase, we and our peers have found difficulty in navigating this career phase-something compounded by concurrent life events (e.g., parenting, pandemic).
Method: Grounded in our own current and recent histories, this Commentary provides examples of common experiences across the EC--from fellowship to nearing mid-career.
Results: To improve the EC experience for pediatric psychologists and beyond, recommendations are made at the institutional, mentor, and ECPP-levels.
Conclusions: Given the risks for burnout during this phase of career, when workforce demands are at all-time high, this Commentary aims to draw attention to the developmental norms of EC and to improve the EC experience for pediatric psychologists and our peers. The hope is that in doing so, pediatric patients and their families may be better served via a well-supported EC workforce.

Global water scarcity demands next-generation desalination technologies that transcend the limitations of energy-intensive processes and salt accumulation. Herein, a groundbreaking interfacial solar steam generation system capable of simultaneous hypersaline desalination and ambient energy harvesting is introduced. Through hierarchical hydrogel architecture incorporating a central vertical channel and radial channels with gradient apertures, the design effectively decouples salt transport and water evaporation: solar-driven fluid convection directs water outward for evaporation, while inward salt migration prevents surface crystallization and redistributes excess heat.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Background: Social media use among cardiothoracic surgeons has yet to be analyzed. This study aimed to explore how online media utilization by cardiothoracic surgeons differs by subspecialty, sex, geographic region, practice type, level of experience, and training pathway.
Methods: A list of 223 cardiothoracic surgeons was generated by querying the 1066 members of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery and randomly selecting 223 actively practicing surgeons.
A typology of interdisciplinary collaborations: insights from agri-food transformation research.

Agricultural Economics and Policy Group, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
To understand complex societal transformations, scholars have called for more interdisciplinary research in which researchers from various disciplines collaborate. To support the implementation of such collaborations, we introduce a novel typology of interdisciplinary collaborations developed from the literature and from structured reflection on our own research experience. The typology distinguishes (I) common base, (II) common destination, and (III) sequential link type of interdisciplinary collaborations.

Purpose: Depression among college students is a growing concern that negatively affects academic performance, emotional well-being, and career planning. Existing diagnostic methods are often slow, subjective, and inaccessible, underscoring the need for automated systems that can detect depressive symptoms through digital behavior, particularly on social media platforms.
Method: This study proposes a novel natural language processing (NLP) framework that combines a RoBERTa-based Transformer with gated recurrent unit (GRU) layers and multimodal embeddings.
