For all who strive for reproducibility in fMRI data analysis: check out our latest open-access pub on Nipype: doi.org/10.3389/fnimg.…. It's an awesome tool, but even Nipype benefits from checking and improvements. This was an MNL team project spearheaded by our amazing Yibei Chen

Today, at the #moralmedia22 meeting, our wonderful grad students sungbinyouk and Musa Malik presented work on the visual construction of morality and the socio-moral image database. Thanks to MSU Department of Communication for hosting!

Some of our wonderful students presented their work at #NCA22 this week. Their research featured a content analysis of politicians on Twitter, and the role of screen time in development of adolescent empathy 👇

Want to see more MNL at #NCA22 ? We will be around Sunday, 11/20 at the 9:30-10:45 sessions at the Marriott. Presentations center around morality, with focus on moral narratives in impression management, and how moral profiles predict argument persuasiveness. Details below 👇
