Hi friends. Elon chased me away from Twitter but I hear that people are going to Bluesky now, which seems easier to figure out than some other options. If you see this and have a code I can use, and/or want to connect there, please let me know. I miss many of you!

Just got to send what I think will be good news to two different colleagues and that is a wonderful way to end the day.

My first paper is now published! A first look into children’s ability to use “they” as a singular pronoun, in collaboration with @rdavtom, @olsonista, & @yarrowdunham: authors.elsevier.com/a/1g7za…

My social cognition course uses low voting rates among young people as an example of social loafing. Rates this election still far below what I think is ideal but I am glad to need to update that example.

Working on a task I don't want to do by spending 10 minutes on the task and 30 minutes eating fritos. A strategy, highly recommended.

More science like this, please.

Been listening to other people's classes recently (mostly here: oyc.yale.edu/courses). Really appreciate the opportunity to learn content new to me & also to observe & learn from how others teach. Not something I get to do much but very helpful!

Going through a dataset & appreciating* that this study on race included a free response item where many participants wrote their thoughts about our research even though that is not what the question asked them to do.
*Genuinely. These responses are super informative.

This whole thread is good but highlighting this b/c "make a decision & run with it" is good advice for life generally, not just academia. If you couldn't make good decisions you wouldn't have gotten this far, plus, post-decision rationalization is always there to rescue you.

5.2. ...chances are, you just need to make a decision and run with it. some of the things will fail. but at the end of the day, you have a million cool things you can work on. don't lose sleep on any of it.

Big thank you to @kevinjarbo for visiting our lab meeting today. Super interesting to learn about his work on moral decision-making and how moral actions & moral cognition might relate to each other. Keep an eye out for this nifty research!

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨
🧵
1/6 We already know that people often don't confront prejudice the way they think or say they will. But what happens after they fail to confront?

Three papers came back to me in the last few days: one rejection, two R&Rs. Amongst all those reviewer comments, one is landing heavy with me. Can you please tell me some awesome things reviewers have said to you or other positive publication experiences?

Extra 1 to the last point. I usually think about this for more senior scholars (who are not usually my audience for Twitter advice), but always yes to highlighting work by underrepresented researchers.

Excellent thread from Dr. Larisa, as always. My 2cts about organizing symposia? DO IT. Start early. It helps position you as a leader in the field, and a bunch of other perks mentioned in thread and comments.
Also: make sure to have a diverse speaker lineup.

This is a fabulous idea & can also help in terms of people agreeing to be on the symposium (say, if they know your co-chair but don't know you yet).

This thread has fantastic advice on organizing a symposium, esp as a trainee. My one addition is that, as a trainee I would often ask a senior person that I look up to co-chair with me. This was more to get to know them through more frequent interactions in the planning process.

1. I started thinking about this thread around the time ppl were putting together submissions for SPSP & SRCD & realize I missed the boat for those conferences this year. But maybe this will be helpful for other meetings and/or future years.

18. If someone else has already said yes to me, I sometimes include that info, esp. if I think it helps communicate theme or will entice invitee to agree. Eg, "Dr. Y will also present work on Z" esp. if Dr. Y is fancy or friends with the person I'm inviting.

19. Info about conference. "This year, [conference] is in [location, also info about whether it's hybrid/online/in person] on [dates]."
