Grateful for the recognition — excited to see everyone at SANS 2026 in San Diego!! 🙌

For you scientists out there this goes without saying But for the non-scientists: once you slam the break on Science, like Trump is doing, you can't just restart from where you were There are literature searches to help determine whether some other lab is now ahead of you. 1/4 #MedSky #GreenSky 🧪

I am honored to be continuing my service to the field of Psychological Science. I hope to see you all in Barcelona!

This is an excellent paper! Insightful and theoretically important. I highly recommend it to folks interested

Breast cancer mortality dropped 58% from 1975 to 2019. Localized, early detected breast cancer has a 99% 5 year survival rate. Modern mammogram tech was developed by NASA for telescopes. Last year, RFK Jr. cancelled 87 research grants on breast cancer. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...

Sometimes I feel like academic work is a poor fit for the moment. While the university is under threat, engagement with the public is not incentivized. Along with some friends, we started Society Workshop as a way to bring more social science to the public. www.societyworkshop.org

Society Workshop is a nonprofit that (1) uses social science in partnership with communities to solve challenges, (2) puts research-backed knowledge and insights in the hands of the public, and (3) offers training to future social scientists.

📈 New research suggests that political moral conflict often comes down to one question: "Who is vulnerable?" Liberals and conservatives don't disagree about whether harm is wrong, but they disagree about who is at risk of it. Read more in #PSPB: https://ow.ly/GH0G50YsRwZ

A new Department of Cognitive Science is being created at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. Here is the call for a cluster hire (for around 10 faculty) in all areas of cognitive science, at both junior and senior levels: www.unibocconi.it/en/faculty-a... Deadline: May 4th, 2026

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

Any formers that are willing to participate in a research study please reach out to me. I have someone who is working in Canada that will respect your anonymity.

Exciting news! The @yorkpsychology.bsky.social are recruiting 3 new ART (research and teaching) lecturers! One role will be prioritised for cognitive, affective and/or social neuroscience. #neuroskyence #cognition #psychscisky #neurojobs

NIH is requesting comments on a new draft policy that may require human brain imaging data (and other data) from nih-funded research to only be shared via controlled access, & only with certain countries. I suggest neuroimagers read closely & submit comments by 3/18. osp.od.nih.gov/comment-form...

1. science is for something more than lines on a cv, conference conversations, h indexes, and society awards. 2. people in social psy have been bravely trying to improve lives thru science for a long time. 3. stopping means the worst people make policy by vibes and w/ their own power in mind

I'm really proud of this paper I wrote with my grad student proposing that children's racial biases are driven in part by racial differences in social status. Part of making the world a better place for children of color is ending racial inequity.

👋 🗣️ People of SPSP: I am super excited to present two sets of projects this week at SPSP! The first project looks at the experience of collective resignation (or disaffected consent) with the U.S. economic system among U.S. adults for the past 5 years. TLDR: too many people feel resigned

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

A meta-analysis on reducing discrimination finds: 1) passive interventions, such as short-term education or bias reminders, are ineffective 2) targeting behavior directly to inhibit bias (eg making individuals accountable or changing social norms) is helpful psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

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. 🧵
