Science + art 🎨

Big congrats to @rthompkins.bsky.social on this paper! Happy to finally see this out in the world.

Our work builds on findings from @juliamarshall.bsky.social on the impact of social relationships on moral expectations, with a focus on how children think about lying and liars.

Thrilled to receive the Postdoctoral Award for our paper @American Psychologist: doi.org/10.1037/amp0.... A deep dive into the 'functional flexibility' of disease psychology. COVID’s natural experiment put long-held theories to the test. Here are 3 contributions from a longitudinal study 🧵

My NEW FAVE PODCAST:

Real evolutionary social scientists talking about actual research (+ other weird stuff).

I talked FRIENDSHIP with @dpietra.bsky.social + David Pinsof!

I could not be less surprised by this. I am a data point. I've watched so many (and I mean TOO MANY) of my women colleagues experience the same. Women networks in academia are so fragile because there's never a sense of security or permanence. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
