Had a great time presenting my poster on halo effects from witnessing a gratitude expression at the #SPSP2024 Emotion Preconference! Thanks to everyone who visited my poster and discussed this research with me.

I’m excited to share a recent article published in the Greater Good Magazine about findings from my first first-author publication featured in APA Journals Emotion! This quick read shows it’s worth sharing and celebrating good news with others.

Looking forward to #AffectScience2024 starting tomorrow with the Positive Emotion Preconference! Come check out my poster on Sunday about how I am investigating the benefits of sharing good news with strangers and which specific positive emotions might be driving these effects.

Feeling energized after successfully defending my Master’s Thesis yesterday. Super proud of everyone in my cohort who also presented and did a fantastic job! I’m incredibly fortunate to have such a kind and supportive network.

These are such sad and resonant graphs. People want to *hear from* old friends, but are reluctant to *reach out,* because they don't think others are interested in reconnecting. We don't realize others miss us as much as we miss them, so we keep missing each other.

Finished a brilliant second year on the exec board of Northeastern U. Psychology’s Graduate School Mentoring Program for undergrad students! We added a new DEI panel and clinical/counseling psychology information session. Pumped for next year's program and upcoming additions!

Do we fail to invest in the future because we predict suffering will be less, or because we lack empathy? New paper from the lab led by Matt Coleman, PhD suggests the latter and offers an easy intervention to help (in press at Emotion). osf.io/preprints/psya…

I’m reviewing applications for PhD students to join me in the Psychology program (social/personality area) at UC Riverside in Fall 2025! Apply if interested in emotion/emotion regulation in daily life. Sharing would be appreciated :) More info⬇️
