🎉Life update🎉 After 6 wonderful years at Princeton, I am officially *Dr.* Oktar! Next: Postdoc at Meta FAIR w/ @asli-celikyilmaz.bsky.social; then, postdoc at Kellogg studying disagreement w/ @elijfinkel.bsky.social & @nourkteily.bsky.social! Thanks @tanialombrozo.bsky.social for the hood :)

Is psychology doomed to fail? What would it take to fix it? And why has progress been so slow? In a (less than one page) piece at Nature Reviews Psych, I outline what I take to be the root cause of our field's biggest challenges; inspired by Meehl and many others. rdcu.be/dwroG

There already are women leading the field. For a long time.

The public opinion data in the ROPER database (+ YouGov's archives) is incredibly rich, diverse, and well-documented. It allowed me to do studies on reactions to disagreement that would have been *totally impossible* on any one lab's budget. Highly, highly recommend!
