Major updates to our ConversationAlign R package - submitted to CRAN and JOSS today. If you're interested in computing alignment and main effects for >40 psycholinguistic dimensions in naturalistic conversation, this is the package for you reilly-conceptscognitionlab.github.io/Conversation...

Anyone out there know of US-based postdoctoral fellowships that are open to applications from non-US citizens?

How do we regulate each other's emotions? We talk big strategies (reappraisal, validation) and subtle mechanisms (acoustics, linguistics) in this new ep of @mindsmatter.bsky.social! Thanks for the fun convo @avamadesousa.bsky.social!

Does linguistic diversity when talking about emotions track wellbeing? In a new pre-print with @eriknook.bsky.social, we link emotion vocabularies to mental health in a large real-world psychotherapy dataset. Highlight: therapist emo vocab may help clients get better over time! shorturl.at/TKPN1

I'm now ready to share a rough DRAFT of the teaching resources list for cognitive psychology I've been compiling. As you'll see, I could use further help from you, esp. where there are no entries yet. Pls take a look & share your favorite resources.🙏 I'll keep updating the list this summer. Thanks!

As #SPSP2026 submission season begins, please consider me for your symposia! My students & I have recent work on: - Parents' estimates of their children's prejudices - Development of homophobia in childhood - Gender essentialism & domestic work disparities - Structural explanations & stereotypes 👋!

I'm looking for a new Lab Manager to join me, my amazing incoming PhD students @isabellafavalos.bsky.social and @maceygrisso.bsky.social, and our fantastic undergraduate RAs in the Emotional Lives Lab at UC Riverside. Sharing would be much appreciated! jobsportal.ucr.edu/jobs/35754189

These are grant TO THE STUDENTS, not to the institution, so this is just straight-up punishing students for choosing the institution

Two days left to comment. Takes mere seconds. Saves lives. If you’ve been feeling helpless— this is a thing you can do! It’s been effective in the past. Healthcare is a human right. Disability & health justice is for everyone. Be LOUD. Our enemies are spineless, and we outnumber them.

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday 📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

🎊 New preprint 🎊 w/ Tania Lombrozo Why do people engage in collective actions, even when they believe their actions won't make a difference? Based on evidence from the 2024 election and a hypothetical election, we find that *moral* responsibility, not causal, drives voting osf.io/preprints/ps...

Honored to win the 2025 APS Janet Taylor Spence Award! You can read more about my research and journey here www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Does anyone study how kids think about existential issues? Like why do we exist, what is our purpose, etc. I've got a thesis student interested in this area and I have this feeling like people are doing this work. I want to point her in the right direction!

Please share widely! #NPSP supports people applying to Psychology PhD programs in the US, including students from underrepresented groups. We're accepting applications til May 23 for mentees (undergrads/postbacs) & mentors (grad students/postdocs)! z.umn.edu/NPSP25-26

Many people from my lab are presenting exciting work at SRCD!

Here is the text of my public talk at @wellesley.edu showing how closely the stories of enemy alien internment, denial of due process, and pressures to self-deport that we present in our graphic novel, WE HEREBY REFUSE, presage the daily terrors unfolding across the nation as we speak.

I plan to call my Republican senators every day for the next 365 days. I'm going to chronicle the calls here for accountability, and to hopefully encourage others to do the same. Day 1 request: Please stop the Trump administration from attempting to limit NIH funding.

New R package almost birthed - SemanticDistance - computes two semantic distance metrics (experiential and embedding) for any rolling chunk size (ngram-to-ngram, word-to-word, turn-to-turn, ngram-to-word). You give it your language sample. It does the rest, including lemmatize and stopword omit

[Report for 🧪 feed] A trusted editor has asked if I can identify a lab or PI or research team who have lost funding/shut down a project, whose loss will help narrativize the current moment for an everyday reader. Is this you? Or someone you know? Would love to hear recs or be in contact.

🚨 I’m hiring a full-time lab manager to help me build my lab start in July or August 2025! 🚨 If you know any stellar candidates who might be interested, please send this their way. 🗓 Application review begins April 15 ⏰ Final deadline is April 25 📎 Apply here ➡️ lnkd.in/evhfqzTP

Kristina Olson and I have a truly incredible advisee who won an NSF but had no luck on clinical psych PhD applications this round. Anyone able to consider another candidate this late in the process? Trust me, you won't regret it!

Please repost!! Can attest that this award was granted to a BRILLIANT clinical psych student. Would be a massive asset to any lab and would bring so much light and joy to your community ✨

ELA often connected w more affective empathy in youth, but less cognitive empathy + more distress in adults. More research is needed—esp. on different types of adversity & how we measure empathy. DM for manuscript access if needed!! #PsychTwitter #Empathy #DevelopmentalPsych

Please share with mentees!! Working in this department is a dream -- and what better env't to do cognitive science than with @tanialombrozo.bsky.social??

Well, UMN has officially been hit. We just got an email from our president that an international grad student was detained yesterday. No further details provided. This. Is. Crushing.

🚨 Over 70 graduate programs in the biological and biomedical sciences have frozen or slashed admissions. The consequences are profound—how many brilliant minds are being shut out of research entirely? How much future discovery is being lost before it even begins? docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

“Without the support of my community, I would have never pursued a career in science”, writes Chantal Valdivia-Moreno from Chula Vista, CA 🥑. Now research cuts threaten that community: its health, economy & children’s futures. 🧪🏠 @talvaldivia.bsky.social www.thestarnews.com/we-owe-it-to...
