Want to hear an alternative ending of "The Giving Tree"? Or maybe you want to hear me tell @AdamMGrant how mean he is to his face? If so, you should really tune in to this truly fantastic episode of Adam's Work Life Podcast, "How to Say No"!

Our little Upstate NY science center just had $500k of federal funding revoked. Just constant awfulness from this administration. weny.com/story/52698769/fede…

In our latest @HarvardBiz , @RachelSchlund & I argue that obtaining true informed consent requires more than locking in a signature or verbal agreement & that organizations willing to prioritize transparency and clarity over mere compliance reap benefits.

A “real” yes? Even when an agreement meets the legal criteria for consent, individuals may not feel they’ve truly given consent, which can have serious consequences in the workplace, according to new @cornellilr research. @profbohns @sciencedirect news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

New paper on informed consent! I’m so proud of this work led by @RachelSchlund. We show that regardless of how clueless WE feel about the terms we agree to when signing a contract or clicking accept, others assume we knew what we were getting into. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I have learned so much more today from the responses to the posts that have *asked* people why they voted for Trump/didn't vote for Harris than the posts electionsplaining why people voted for Trump instead of Harris.

Study (N=200 courses) tested 3 interventions to reduce gender bias in student evals, but none were effective. "Women who were tough graders or taught large classes received more criticism than men with the same grading style or class size." @kimelsesser

I thought having pets would help the humans in my household manage some of our anxiety, but now I just have two pets on anxiety medication.
