The climate justice movement must be a decolonial, anti capitalist, antifascist movement that fights against genocide as well as ecocide, that demands liberation and justice for all, and a system that puts people and planet over profit. 3/4

This is what it looks like to speak truth to power.

New article from "REAL - A Post-Growth Deal" project colleagues Joel Millward-Hopkins and Vivien Fisch-Romito "We have to talk about overconsumption (in three different ways)" 3 definitions relevant to individual, social, and planetary scales. Open access 👇 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

🚨 New preprint out! 🚨 How do people make moral judgments as third parties? 👀 We show how two motivations—inequality aversion (fair = moral) ⚖️ and the common-is-moral heuristic (frequent = moral) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧—interact to shape evaluations 🧵👇 📄 osf.io/preprints/psya…

I'm looking for a post-doc! Ideally a data scientist with social science know-how or the other way around. Deadline is 4/4. candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

📢New preprint: shorturl.at/M77Bb We surveyed 1,798 psych PhD students. Marginalized students and students experiencing financial strain report disparities in mental health & program experiences. Funding & support are crucial to build a fairer academia! #psych #gradschool

In this new Registered Report, Vukašin Gligorić, PhD et al. identify partisan differences in trust in scientists in the U.S. and find that several interventions fail to increase trust among conservatives. nature.com/articles/s4156… #trustinscientists #scientists #ideology #trust

🎉 Just published in Nature Human Behavior 🎉 Do liberals or conservatives in the US trust scientists more? You might assume it's liberals, but studies often fail to consider the diversity of scientific disciplines! 🔬 nature.com/articles/s4156… [1/6]🧵

Das kannn ich vollauf bestätigen: “Staatssekretärin Jennifer Morgan, vormals Geschäftsführerin von Greenpeace International, gilt in der UN-Klimadiplomatie als sehr sachkundig und bestens vernetzt.” Klimaschutz jetzt zurückzufahren ist unverantwortlich. spektrum.de/news/klimapoli…

Enough. We demand rapid, safe, and unimpeded access to starving civilians in Gaza. We have a plan. We have thousands of trucks of food at the border. Let us in. Let us work. bit.ly/3S7M0oo

It is outrageous and morally reprehensible that it took the world nearly 80 days of broadcast starvation and cruelty amidst genocide to exert enough pressure on Israel to even slightly ease its total siege that has blocked the entry of all food, medicine, fuel and other vital

Merz calls Israel’s bombing of Iran “dirty work done for all of us.” Not only colonial in tone, it's a grotesque betrayal of every legal and constitutional value Germany claims to stand for: sovereignty, international law, the UN Charter. This is not diplomacy. It is complicity.

Money sent home by international migrants is almost three times as much as global foreign aid. Most of the money sent home by migrants goes from high-income to middle-income countries, but low-income countries also rely on them relative to their GDP.

This research advances a mechanistic reward learning account of social learning strategies. Through experiments & simulations, it shows how people learn to learn from others, dynamically shaping the processes involved in cultural evolution. David Schultner nature.com/articles/s4156…

💥 Our new paper (with Lucas Molleman and Björn Lindström) is now out in Nature Human Behaviour 🥳 nature.com/articles/s4156… 🧠 Here, we advance a novel RL account—the Social Feature Learning (SFL) model—that explains how people learn to learn from others! 🤝 🧵👇

🎊 New paper out! In this Trends in Cognitive Sciences Forum, we (with Lucas Molleman and Björn Lindström) summarize how reward learning can lead to adaptive social learning. We also explore the broader consequences for cultural evolution: cell.com/trends/cogniti…
