Applications open now!

I finally listened to the interview between Fitelson and @seanmcarroll.bsky.social re inductive logic / confirmation, and I really enjoyed it. I love how this area combines logic, psychology, and epistemology. That kinda interdisciplinary research is 👨‍🍳 💋 www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025...

#Polarization conference is back! After a successful 2023 edition, we’re happy to announce that #MIT workshop on #polarization #norms and #trust is now accepting abstracts! Among our speakers are @danielaldrich.bsky.social and @jdbk.bsky.social Spread the word & submit your work! Details here ⬇️

Off to a great start at the National Postdoctoral Association pre-conference for IMPACT Fellows! Excited for the remarkable conversations and connections over the next two days #NPA2025AC

1. Would you rather have a career or a family? 2. Would you rather be perceived as likable or competent? 3. Would you rather be told to smile or to calm down?

Our workshop Humans, Math, and Machines is coming up this weekend. In-person registration is closed (because we are full!), but you can still register for remote participation. The event will not be recorded. I will distribute a Zoom link prior to the meeting. www.lps.uci.edu/workshops/ai...

Excited to share that I’ve been awarded an @theihs.org Humane Studies grant for my research on polarization and AI! In these times of uncertainty, it’s uplifting to see institutions supporting work on social conflict. Looking forward to what’s ahead! 🚀 #Polarization #AI #Research #Grant

Super relevant for transitioning from humanities as well:

Research by @katikish.bsky.social et al explores the phenomenon of polarization—its nature and origins, the challenges of measuring it, and how different disciplines define it as an individual mindset or a collective state: buff.ly/3J8Esxi
