Many thanks to Marta Wronska | Visual Summaries for drawing our project on social change for LGBTQ+ communities (with Hao and Zi Ye（叶梓）) Kurt Lewin Instituut Conference. It looks fantaaastic!

Delighted to see our research covered by PsyPost.org!

Thank you so much Hakan! We made it!

This month we got two papers accepted & one accepted with minor revision, including the first paper from my PhD project and my first ever registered report. Many thanks to my supervisors Ruthie Pliskin & Daan Scheepers, and awesome collaborators Hakan Çakmak & @ValentinMang

Indeed very happy to hear this news! I enjoyed the collaboration with you both Hakan Çakmak @ValentinMang 😆 Looking forward to more!

Arrived at INSEAD Singapore campus for the IACM Conference!

In our recent study, we found norms stressing intergroup equality reduced prejudice towards migrants. Counter-intuitively, this prejudice-reduction effect was only observed among more conservative individuals. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Dissertation submitted! And… extremely excited to share that I'll be joining the Neuropolitics Research Lab P&IR Edinburgh as a postdoc early next year (if the visa application goes well). Looking forward to working with Dr Clare Llewellyn and the amazing team led by Laura Cram!

Honoured to be delivering this year’s G&0 Schapiro lecture “A Neuropolitical Understanding of Government & Opposition”, Thursday 14 Nov, 6pm UK time. You can join in person in the Informatics Forum or join us online. Ticket links below P&IR Edinburgh School of Social & Political Science Edinburgh Edinburgh Futures Institute @InfAtEd

🚨Excited that our meta-analysis is out in JPSP APA Journals. We synthesized 6 decades (1958-2017) of empirical evidence on social dilemmas and tested which structural features (most strongly) promote cooperation: 📄doi.org/10.1037/pspi00… 1/10

Check out our new preprint doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…. Together with Ruthie Pliskin and Daan Scheepers, we found people are challenged when their opinion-based group grows, but threatened when it shrinks. We measured challenge and threat responses using ECG, ICG, and blood pressure.

PhD defended this week! And excited to share an interview where I discussed my PhD research: universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025/0…

Who favours competent/warm politicians? ✅High-RWA voters particularly prefer competence (vs neutral). ⚠️Low-RWA voters particularly prefer warmth (vs neutral), though evidence isn't robust. Check out our new research: doi.org/10.1111/bjso.7…

🎯 Progressive social change threatens ideological rightists and challenges leftists, as our physiological data show. 📄 Check out our new paper for the full story – a key part of my PhD work with Ruthie Pliskin and Daan Scheepers. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ps…

It's a great honour to receive this year's ASPO Dissertation Award. Sincere thanks to the award committee and to my supervisors, Ruthie Pliskin and Daan Scheepers. In a 30-min award talk, I discussed how group norms shape intergroup relations socially and physiologically.
