I had Dr. McClure for undergraduate biology — I was so impressed by his guest lecture I took his higher-level class instead of intro. It was over my head but he was an amazing person and teacher. Probably should’ve gotten a C or D but he gave me a B- out of kindness dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories...

Almost done with my newest book, Understanding Creativity through the Movies, a guide to creativity that uses case studies of movies to illustrate key points. It’s been a lot of fun!

Pleased to share a recent study from myself and @jamesckaufman.bsky.social. We used instructional prompts to guide participants through the creative problem-solving process. They improved solution creativity, and the effect was mediated by engagement. Free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1mFBR3QACx...

It's new publication day at @universitypress.cambridge.org 🤩 We have got some very exciting new titles including 'Distant Friends and Intimate Enemies' by David S. Foglesong, Ivan Kurilla and Victoria I. Zhuravleva, and 'The Artist's Life' by Beth Leibson and @jamesckaufman.bsky.social📚

Jeffrey Walczyk did some good work on creativity and lying, and did a chapter for the book Hansika Kapoor and I did on creativity and morality. I’m sorry to hear about his passing. obits.syracuse.com/us/obituarie...

Margaret Boden influence on creativity — and many other fields — was profound. She was one of the first to write and think about AI, computers, and creativity. Only met her once, at a small conference, but she was lovely. A loss to many fields. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

We spy some familiar faces to the SfNC community in this week's New York Times Creativity Challenge!

Featured research by @jamesckaufman.bsky.social, Jonathan Schooler, @roger-beaty.bsky.social

Got to meet him once years and years ago — brilliant man, pioneering and important work on metacognition

Plugging some research from myself and @jamesckaufman.bsky.social, now officially out in JCB. To peer under the hood of the creative process, we analyzed think aloud data that 266 undergraduate students produced during an open-ended drawing task. doi.org/10.1002/jocb...

This new pub (a rare solo one) is near and dear to me — it’s on #creativity and #meaning and #legacy. Reviewers (correctly) made me emphasize more hopeful possibilities. Title comes from my favorite play ever. Free to read for now! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This was a fun podcast to do! And this is my first post on BlueSky…!
