In another detrimental turn of events, #diversity supplements on NIH grants are no longer a thing as of today - grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... Right now, ~$65M goes to 750+ projects / people doing to #ScientificResearch in 45 of 50 states. #academicSky #publicHealth #medSky 1/n

Can’t wait to read this! When I was job seeking as a postdoc, someone at Psychonomics tried giving me job advice. After listening to what I do, he said I wasn’t getting job offers because I’m not really a cognitive psychologist. He suggested I apply to social psyc jobs instead.

I’m scheduled to sit on an NIH panel in Feb. I just received an email from the study section chair confirming that Feb meetings are all still scheduled and we should continue completing our reviews. Bad luck for me that my own grant was due to be reviewed 1/31.

In retrospect, getting large numbers of anxious academics to join one small social media platform en masse was a mistake

Feeling the holiday spirit at the GSU Cognition & Aging Lab. #holidaydecorations #labdecor

December 1st—time to finish submitting a million reference letters. While I’d never write a one-liner calling a student "adequate," it’s tough to say more when you barely know them. Thankfully had much more to say for mine this year. Wishing all applicants the best of luck! #academicsky #psyscisky

Only one more day to submit abstracts for SARMAC 2025!

People get caught up in outrage and hit share without checking the facts. Interesting new study from @klonick.bsky.social @williambrady.bsky.social @killianmcloughlin.bsky.social @mjcrockett.bsky.social

If you’re enjoying #psynom24, come join us for SARMAC 2025 in Ireland in June! Abstract deadline December 1st sarmac2025.org

If you know undergraduate students attending Psychonomics, please encourage them to attend this workshop on Friday at noon. I will be one of the panel speakers, and we are discussing grad school applications and succeeding in grad school. #psynom24

Boarding my flight for Psychonomics now. Looking forward to seeing many of you soon! #psynom24

Angela Gutchess is now on Bluesky. @angelagutchess.bsky.social Angela directs the Aging, Culture, & Cognition Lab at Brandeis. #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence

Just created my first syllabus that includes a policy on AI assistance. This resource was super helpful: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

What do we know about overconfidence and misinformation? New review from Rapp & Withall www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Heading out to SF for #psynom23 today! My first time back (in person) at Psychonomics since 2019. Looking forward to seeing many of you there!

Happy to share we are hiring! We are recruiting for a postdoctoral fellow and three (!) full-time project assistants to start next year! Please consider joining our growing team! Postdoctoral Fellow: usccareers.usc.edu/job/los-ange... Project Assistants: usccareers.usc.edu/job/los-ange...

Fact-checker warning labels are effective even for those who distrust fact-checkers: http://osf.io/t2pmb/

Great opportunity for undergrad students at universities without PhD programs. Funding provided for them to do summer research at Emory, and online workshops in fall and spring.

Application openfor collaboration awards from the Scientific research network on decision neuroscience and aging (SRNDNA). Funds ($3500) are used to help grad students/ jr scientists forge NEW mentoring relationships with faculty at a different institution. #PsychSciSky #Alzheimers #neuroskyence

When the temperature low for the day gets below 50, Dude goes into a ridiculous hibernation mode. He likely won’t be parted from this blanket until spring.

Reminder that the Big Ten Academic Alliance Fee Waiver program gives waivers for 15 schools' PhD programs (including OSU astro and OSU physics) for US citizen students w/ 3.0+ GPAs and diverse backgrounds! Easy form to complete due by Nov 15. btaa.org/resources-fo...

The template that is included with this paper about how to report deviations from pre-registrations looks great! These are always tricky to deal with (both as an author and as an editor).

Congrats to Duke Han, who is taking over as editor at The Journals of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences! I’m looking forward to seeing how JGPS grows under Duke’s leadership.

Important question from my 8-year old: What does the tooth fairy do with all the teeth she collects? Any good suggestions?

I’m thrilled to share our new study examining how memories take shape under emotional contexts! Using custom musical pieces and a novel affect-tracking tool, we demonstrate that emotion dynamics (especially valence) shape the content and structure of episodic memory. rdcu.be/doK9K

More time to submit to the Misinformation and Belief Science preconference hosted by me and Rakoen Maertens

We used 4 waves of the German Ageing Survey and found that the only consistent association was that those who volunteered had higher cognitive performance at baseline, but longitudinal associations were scarce.

We are hiring!! GSU Psychology has two new TT positions, one in Cognitive Sciences (assistant) and one in Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (asst/assoc). Happy to answer any questions about working at GSU! You can email me at [email protected] psychology.gsu.edu/about/job-op...

Attending Psychonomics in November? Please consider coming a day early (Thurs) for the Symposium on Individual Differences in Cognition (SIDIC). Talk & poster program just dropped. Should be a fascinating day: caliberlab.wixsite.com/sidic2023/pr...

The DC Zoo has three giant pandas, who will all be returned to China by December 7. I was happy to see them this past weekend, but it’s hard to imagine the DC Zoo without pandas! I will need to visit the Atlanta pandas before they leave in early 2024. Could be my last time seeing pandas??

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology seeks new Associate Editors, especially in decision making, judgements or reasoning More info: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/63wca... #Psychology #CogSci #PsychJobs #DecisionMaking

I’ll be attending (if not presenting)! Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Wonderful choice for the new EIC at Psych Science. @simine.com gave a keynote at SARMAC a few years ago & spoke about the credibility revolution in psychology. It was a great talk on how to improve our science. Looking forward to this leadership at PS! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

New paper!   People often do not remember information they just searched for (link.springer.com/article/10.3...).   Subjects were asked to draw the contents of their memory immediately after searching for a target in a natural scene  Thread!

The #fraud investigation at Harvard and lawsuit from Francesca Gino is in the NYT The article confirms that Dan Ariely is under investigation for fraud at Duke. She claims she barely knows Ariely, he says they are good friends (they published 10 papers together) www.nytimes.com/2023/09/30/b...

My son just informed me that he’s created a reading chart for himself because he wants to “track his data”. Hoping he always loves data as much as I do! 💚

Travel recommendations needed for DC trip! I’m surprising my 8-yr-old with a DC trip next weekend & I have made plans (eg White House tour booked!). BUT, what do we do if there is a govt shutdown? Any ideas for fun things that would be open in this scenario?? (Pic from my last trip for attention)

The San Francisco State University Department of Psychology is seeking applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Psychology beginning August 7, 2024. Applications are accepted until November 10th. #psychjob #devsci #psychscisky

New research from my lab, led by Jessica Udry (currently on the job market and people would be lucky to have her!) Repeated info feels truer, but the content of what is repeated matters. Semantic consistency across repetitions is key to boosting belief, supporting the referential theory of truth.

The abstract book for #psynom23 in SFO is out! If you're a Psychonomic Society member, registration is $0 😱 www.psychonomic.org/page/2023pro...

I tried out an AI headshot generator, and below are the real winners, lol. I keep imagining what people would say if these were part of my faculty profile.

I thought my first post here may be something more profound, but instead it’s a quote repost. This looks incredibly helpful for thinking about the issues of public data sharing while maintaining participant confidentiality. Looking forward to reading it more carefully soon.
