Why do older adults share the most fake news? In a new paper in Current Directions, I argue that cognitive declines are only part of the problem. 1/13

Finally out @NatureHumBehav🚨
Across a large set of mental states, traits, situations, and faces, and participants in five continents🌎
We showed that face impressions shape inferences of others' momentary thoughts and feelings in various situations

If you’re at #psynom24, check out my lab’s posters today!
@_katieallen_ finds that while repetition inflates many judgments, it doesn’t create an illusion of creativity (5168)
And @lephuc2704hcmc counters the intuition that ostracized people share more fake news (6062)

Sharing this feels vulnerable but meaningful. 💛
In this piece for @Nature, I reflect on having 3 children during my PhD - why I’d do it all over again, but also why academia shouldn’t make it this hard for parents to thrive.🍼🎓@Momademia

Just a reminder that I'm recruiting a grad student at Florida this fall! If you find boredom interesting, and psychological richness weirdly compelling, consider applying! Pumpkin carving and rock painting skills a bonus.
Applications due 12/1, see website for details

One key skill in science and in life is knowing when to leave. I switched labs in my second year of grad school, then switched jobs in my second year on the tenure track. Better to admit that you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room.

Misinformation is harmless? “Federal emergency response personnel directed employees…in hard-hit Rutherford County, N.C., to stop working and move to a different area because of concerns over “armed militia” threatening government workers.” washingtonpost.com/weather/2…

🚨Out in Science!🚨
Conspiracy beliefs famously resist correction, ya?
WRONG: We show brief convos w GPT4 reduce conspiracy beliefs by ~20%!
-Lasts over 2mo
-Works on entrenched beliefs
-Tailored AI response rebuts specific evidence offered by believers

*Very* excited for this paper-led by amazing @Cameron_Martel_ (on the job market!)-to be out. He validates a scale for trust in fact-checkers & presents experiments w 14k subjects showing that fact-checker warnings reduce misinfo belief + sharing even among those low in trust!
🚨New in @NatureHumBehav 🚨
Will misinfo warning labels backfire for ppl who distrust fact-checkers? No!
Labels reduce belief in & sharing of false news even for those highly distrusting of fact-checkers - warning labels are a key tool for platforms!

With the fall semester gearing up, I wanted to mention that I am on the post-doc market this cycle! My research examines strategies for reducing intergroup bias and creating environments in which targets of bias can thrive.🧵
