New paper!

One of the things I love about our findings in this paper is that even children who thought they knew a lot about a topic in absolute terms sometimes recognized that an expert would know a little or a lot more than them. That's a start!

Parents of 0- to 12-year-olds, come do science with us!

We run short, game-like studies with kids. We offer in-person and online options, flexible scheduling (weekdays & weekends), and sessions that are fun for children and easy for caregivers.
