Agree! We don’t live in a vacuum. As you mentioned, the scientific questions we ask are affected by who we are (our humanity!) and the society we live in. How can we separate something that’s already bound?

Researchers have a radical plan to thwart Trump's war on science: Talking to people Faced with federal funding cuts, scientists are learning to communicate about what they do β€” and why it matters.

Working with and learning from incredible leaders like @isakoditomassi.bsky.social and dozens others @snapcoalition.bsky.social has been the highlight of my year! Read how trainees are taking action: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

So excited to share our new preprint! We used behavior & pupillometry to examine how reinterpreting negative emotions shapes memory for emotionally charged events.

Huge thanks to my spectacular advisor, Dave, for all his help and support with my first project of grad school!

Check it out πŸ‘‡
