Thanks @columbiamag for doing a deep-dive on our work!

Subconsciously, we all make snap judgments about people based on their facial features. A recent study by @Columbia psychologists unmasks the perceptual biases that shape our impressions of one another. magazine.columbia.edu/articl…

New in @PsychScience led by Youngki Hong:
Facial stereotypes (e.g., trustworthiness) lead to consequential biases in criminal sentencing, hiring, and politics. We show these biases can be eliminated via a training that dismantles the associations.

Now that large-scale piloting of LGBTQ questions for national surveys of the scientific workforce is finally underway, @TravisYork at @AAAS and I have asked @NSF to consider making crucial information about these efforts available to the public.

New work in SPPS led by Youngki Hong:
The dimensional structure of face impressions shifts across group boundaries, and this goes above and beyond mere ingroup favoritism. Ingroup facial dominance = trustworthy, outgroup facial dominance = untrustworthy.

My lab has 1-2 open postdoc positions for September 2024 (or earlier)! We study person perception, bias and stereotyping, social categorization, emotion, and other topics using fMRI, behavior, and computational modeling. Non-neuro or neuro focus welcome.

NSF is conducting mass piloting of LGBTQ questions on college graduates & PhDs, on target to produce the first official statistics on LGBTQ representation in STEM in 2026. This would ensure equity via data-driven policies & benefit science for all. (1/2)news.columbia.edu/news/natio…

Excited to present my first lead-author paper with @freemanjb, published in SPPS! We find that people perceive trustworthiness from groups of faces in a half second.

1700 scientists, including me, have signed a letter by @freemanjb calling for the @NSF to include questions regarding #LGBTQ orientation to enact data-driven policies to improve equity in science. Let's see some change. 🏳️🌈🥼🧪

🚨SIGN-ON: NSF is refusing to move forward with collecting LGBTQ data on its national STEM workforce surveys to ensure the equity of LGBTQ scientists. It has made its final decision.
Please sign this open letter to the NSF Director and share widely! docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Update: @NSF is making a decision now whether or not to collect LGBTQ data on the US STEM workforce. After years of delays, it completed a pilot with n=7,800. There weren’t any issues. The scientific community can’t improve a problem it refuses to measure.nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Thrilled to announce @AAAS & I have secured a $2M award to improve LGBTQ disparities in STEM! We'll work with U.S. universities to transition them to legal & ethical sexual orientation & gender identity data collection to create transformative change in LGBTQ equity in STEM.
📣 News 📣: AAAS is pleased to announce three awards totaling nearly $20M from @NSF, @SloanFoundation, and Tiger Global Impact Ventures to drive inclusivity in #STEM. fal.cn/3tDZC

Today, we wrote the White House @WHOSTP requesting that @NSF act on its near-completed pilot data and begin measuring & reporting sexual orientation & gender identity by 2023, and develop an infrastructure for addressing LGBTQ disparities in the US STEM population starting 2024.

Job alert 🚨
We’re hiring a lab manager for my lab at Columbia starting Fall 2022!
We study the cognitive and neural mechanisms involved in person perception, emotion, social decision-making, stereotyping/bias, social vision, & other phenomena.
