I like social science, make a podcast, and dabble in printmaking. I'm not super keen on this place of late. Find me on bluesky (andyluttrell)

It's a great day to think about how to help people make sense of good science. I've already been enjoying the new edition of The Craft of Science Writing! It's a great collection of chapters on all corners of science communication. Kudos to @SiriCarpenter for organizing it!

🎉🎉🎉 It's a momentous day—the day the world has been waiting for! I refer, of course, to the publication of the second edition of THE CRAFT OF SCIENCE WRITING from The Open Notebook! press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books…

While you wait for the book to arrive, you can listen to my conversation with Siri for last year's #HotSciCommSummer.

For the curious, here's a behind-the-scenes look at the letterpress portion of making these cards. New wood type antique metal type locked up on an old Signpress.

I've spent lots of time sharing psych science outside academia. Podcast ing @OpinionSciPod, YouTube vids, helping edit @SPSPnews' blog, etc. All of it mostly just for the love of it and a service to a science I value.
But once in a while, a real award is a nice recognition 😊

I waited to hit Episode 100 to finally feature an interview with my PhD advisor. He and the model he developed deserved an episode of honor. So, here it is!

Episode 100!! 🥳
A long-overdue discussion of the Elaboration Likelihood Model and the series of lucky accidents that led Rich Petty to build a career as a persuasion expert.

Whoa! Just saw that @OpinionSciPod just crossed another neat milestone: 200,000 downloads!
It's certainly not the biggest podcast in the world, but for an indie social science show, I'm pretty proud of that.
(And I *promise* more episodes are on their way. Sorry for the delay!)

If anyone has recent research that they'd like to share with a wider non-academic audience, let me know! @SPSPnews' Character & Context blog is always looking for new work to share, and it's totally fine if you've never written about research in this format before.

You may know that I've become obsessed with letterpress printing. To celebrate "Type High Day" (a printer's version of Pi Day), I finally decided to launch an Etsy shop to get these prints out of my house.

Come for nerdy old-school paper goods!

I can't help but see my interest in letterpress as yet another extension of my scholarly interest in persuasive communication. This was the breakthrough that enabled mass communication.
(Soon you'll get to hear about it on @OpinionSciPod!)

And if you were wondering, "type high" refers to the standard height of material to be printed: 0.918 inches. This exact standard is important because if you're "A" is 0.01 inches below your "B," they won't print with the same intensity (or at all!). So .918 = 9-18 = Sept 18

My daughter's favorite song is probably the darkest, most sinister Disney song there is, and I'm not sure what we do now.

What does it take to revolutionize a discipline?
Check out Tim's great summary of the lessons we learned from making our podcast series on behavioral economics: "They Thought We Were Ridiculous."

Why is so hard to start and sustain something important in your life, much less a full-scale movement? See my article in @behavioralscientist.
Hint: it's not willpower.
Gratitude to @AndyLuttrell5 and @motivationguru.
