Often in my speeches, I say how the best activism rarely looks like activism. It looks like doing something you love and bringing it to others. When they connect with you in that way, it creates a sort of cognitive dissonance that can actually change hearts and minds.

when people talk about AI used in moderation of social media posts, you must remember there is always the human-in-the-loop, often a woman, often in the Global South, always dehumanised and forgotten 1/n www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

A new preprint, co-authored with @johnwkrakauer.bsky.social: The Deliberation Taboo Cognitive science is, nominally, the science of thinking. We argue that the field has no theory of what thinking is and, even worse, that the topic has largely dropped out of focus. 1/ osf.io/preprints/ps...

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

On the heels of this post last night, I wrote about using the term "concentration camp" and why it matters.

An interview w/Thomas Foster (au of Rethinking Rufus) on enslavers' sexual predation on the people they held in bondage. truthout.org/articles/bla... "This reality speaks to just how bad slavery was, how pervasively sexually violent it was toward both enslaved Black women [& girls] & men [& boys]."

My lab at UW Madison is hiring a new lab manager! I’m looking for a motivated and detail-oriented person to help run the lab’s day-to-day, including our ongoing neuroimaging and behavioral studies. This is especially well suited for graduating undergrads thinking about grad school. Link below

Postdoc position! Myself and @jordanaxt.bsky.social are seeking applications for a shared post-doctoral researcher at McGill, beginning Fall 2026. Topic area broadly centered on intergroup dynamics, prejudice, discrimination Full description here: hehmanlab.org/ad 1/2

Increasing autism rates over the last 25 years may just be kids with mild forms getting diagnosed. Rates of moderate to severe impairment due to autism have actually fallen slightly. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New preprint! We investigate the risk of algorithmic bias (across race/ethnicity, gender, and their intersection) in machine learning models predicting suicide attempts across 3 clinical settings in over 1.2 million patients. osf.io/preprints/ps...

⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

About 10 years ago, I set out to better understand the drivers of radicalization and deradicalization into white supremacy. Work from our endeavors is starting to come out, and I am no longer concerned about sharing it. I want to share the findings from one of these studies, published last March. 🧵

You’ve seen the halftime show … now read my friend Petra’s new book from @dukepress.bsky.social about how Bad Bunny became the global voice of Puerto Rican resistance! 👏🏽👏🏽 www.dukeupress.edu/p-fkn-r

Student had their GRFP returned without review. I'm closely following the existing conversations on this, but one of my qualms is that he's eligible for another year, but won't get any feedback. Anyone interested in banning together to provide reviews to students who are hoping to apply again?

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

TNN reporter Mira Lazine (@thefreeradical.org) found a community in Minneapolis. Now, that community is under attack by a fascist regime — and fighting back. Here’s her look of the realities on the ground, where exhaustion and terror exist alongside defiance and hope:

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

We find suggestive evidence that first-gen college grads in academia - have more difficulties forming valuable professional relationships -- limited coauthorship networks - are less likely to gain recognition - NSF awards or citations - conditional on research output. (16/22)

This gap is not just about institution type or prestige - it also shows up in earnings and job satisfaction. So it is *not* the case that first-gen college grads are trading off higher pay or better job satisfaction for jobs at lower-ranked institutions. (7/22)

🚨We find a large class gap:🚨 *Conditional on PhD program attended*, first-gen college grads are ➡️10% less likely to end up tenured at an R1, and ➡️tenured at places ranked 11% lower compared to their PhD classmates who had a parent with a (non-PhD) grad degree. (6/22)

📢now forthcoming in ECMA! The Class Gap in Career Progression: Evidence from US Academia Class is rarely a focus of research or DEI in elite US occupations. Evidence suggests it should be: we find a large class gap in at least one occupation - tenure-track academia...🧵

New blog! Have you ever wondered whether you should allow your direct effect to be moderated in a conditional process analysis? @jessicalfossum.bsky.social's recently accepted paper speaks to this exact issue, and much more! www.akmontoya.com/post/should-...

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.

“Our findings suggest industry influence in social media research is extensive, impactful, and often opaque.” @jbakcoleman.bsky.social @carlbergstrom.com et al. arxiv.org/abs/2601.115...
