One by one, universities are being attacked—financially, politically, ideologically.

I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.

lovely thread describing our new paper on why temporal order affects people's causal judgments!

beyond finding the research cool, I also hope you'll appreciate our pretty plots (courtesy of ggdist / @mjskay.com)

This looks great!! Can’t wait to read it!

I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

"If you are a woman, acquire your contraception and birth control needs before you set foot in the United States. It is effectively impossible and/or prohibitively expensive in many regions to access reproductive health care or even basic contraception."

I’ll never understand nationalistic pride. Why be proud of that one thing that’s so clearly not up to you?

Here rdcu.be/es8A1 we respond to the recent (unfair) editorial in Nature about recent criticisms of IIT theory of consciousness. We keep fighting for transparent and serious science. @hakwan.bsky.social @felipedebrigard.bsky.social @deanbuono.bsky.social

One of the saddest realizations of coming to the US. When you are poor in Colombia you’ve done nothing wrong. The perception here is that if you are, you have.

When you idolize capitalism, you end up moralizing poverty.

Does Forgiving Really Mean Forgetting? New research suggests that when you forgive past transgressions, your memories don’t fade, but your misery does.

Another nice write up on our recent work on forgiveness: greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item...

Scientists shed light on how forgiveness does and doesn't reshape memories A new study suggests that forgiving someone does not make us forget what they did—but it does change how we feel about it. People who forgave recalled past wrongs with just as much detail, but with le...

“I am your Republican congressman”. These are Republican policies.

I’m sorry. You are such a strong and incredible person. Sending good thoughts your way.

I don't know about incels, but I believe is "a bucket of deplorables".

📢 now out @natrevpsychol.nature.com In a new perspective w/ @davidnagy.bsky.social & @gergoorban.bsky.social, we reconcile a glaring problem in applying rate-distortion theory as a framework for human memory, integrating empirical findings across a host of human memory research 🧵👇

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: when the left is the party that’s fighting to preserve the constitutional status quo, you are already in big trouble.

Amazing work by the incomparable @asinclair.bsky.social. Congratulations!

This is such a cool paper!

Super. I’m Colombian, lived in Cartagena, and currently work with many Afro-Colombian victims of the violence in the region around Cartagena. I’m trying to understand as much of this history as possible.

Wonderful! Will order the book right away. Thank you

I’m very curious about the parallel with Cartagena. Do you talk about that in your book? Or maybe you can think of other things for me to read to understand slave trade in Cartagena? Thank you.

Medical Research Funding — Unbreaking How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding.

It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job.

Looks amazing! Wish I could go!
