There is nothing better than working with smart and genuinely kind people! We found that intellectual humility in science communication boosts trust in science. Preprint here and now in press at Nature Human Behaviour! osf.io/preprints/psya… 🧵

1/ I've long wondered why executive function in childhood predicts life outcomes. Why does juggling information in mind, shifting between tasks, and controlling our impulses matter so much? I'm increasingly convinced that our early answers missed something fundamental.

Very excited to announce the launch of Cooperation Island, a new research platform for measuring social decision-making in children ages 5+. Shout out to co-pilots Julia Marshall and @ShaliniRachel! Check it out at: cooperationisland.com

Honored to be selected for the 2024 Duke University Outstanding Postdoc Award 🤩😊

Don't let what you see on social media skew your view of humanity. Most bad behavior is due to a few bad apples: • Just 3% of active users are toxic, but they generate 33% of online content • 1% of communities launch 74% of conflict • 0.1% of users spread 80% of fake news

Yes! Apply!!!
