Super excited to share this! I really enjoyed how interdisciplinary this project was, bringing together classic questions in cognitive science and a newer perspective from economics.
1/ New review paper out today! "Mental Models of Causal Structure in Economics and Psychology" with MIT cognitive scientist @RaBhui and econ theorist Heidi C. Thysen. How do people come to believe that one thing causes another—and what happens when those beliefs are wrong? 🧵

This is a poll for young professors (<5 years from start) in systems/comp neuro. We ran a summer school on thriving as a neuro prof (neuro4pros) last year compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/… - i think it was great. Would you be interested in participating?

Very excited to see this paper out @PNASNexus with awesome collaborators @RaBhui @gershbrain Derek Powell Rachit Dubey!
We explore why, when, and how climate consensus messaging works. When presented with scientific consensus, ppl learn not only from but about scientists 🧵

Emphasizing the skill gap between scientists who agree and scientists who do not agree with the consensus view that humans are changing the climate raises climate belief across political parties, according to a survey of 2,545 Americans. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/Fl2b50U3aAR

Great article from @kakape about the five biggest challenges facing misinformation researchers highlighting some of our recent work! Agree with pretty much all these.

How can the same LLM pass AP math and also claim 9.10 > 9.9?
Our #ICML2024 paper: LLMs are wrong in ways that people can't predict. Benchmarks can be misleading because people decide how LLMs are used.
Solution: measure LLM alignment with the "human generalization function" 🧵
