I wrote an article for this month's @BPSWestMids newsletter. I talk about what it's like to throw yourself in at the deep end by starting out as an academic whilst undertaking a PhD. Thankfully, I'm fortunate enough that @DerbyUniPsych have made it a positive experience!

[Alex Gunn @AlexGunn15]

@lezibooks___ @CaitPsych @datepsych Interesting point.

Repetition increases belief ("illusory truth"). Does this mean politicians can just repeat any claims and make them widely believed by everyone?

NO! We find repetition does NOT increase belief in claims from politicians who one DISTRUSTS

@hisotalus I can’t even see how I would do that as an option maybe if it’s a repost they became the author ?

[Alex Gunn @AlexGunn15]

@hisotalus It isn’t like that from my page can see it fine. How bizarre

I think perhaps the USAficiation of academia causes some confusions? I want to clarify for everybody, for employment law reasons, we cannot have pre-interviews or -screenings. It's genuinely not allowed.

The ability to identify and ignore bullshit is one of the most underrated and important skills of our era.
