At #CDS2024 my presentations showed that high science identity doesn’t make children discerning between good science explanations and misinformation, but low science ID also doesn’t stop individuals from explaining in scientifically relevant ways 👀
More on this coming soon!

Please spread the word! Our last Emerging Scholars symposium (through Clinical Psych) was fantastic and I expect that this time, too.

Listen to the great @HelenTager !

[Helen Tager-Flusberg @HelenTager]

What a treat to be part of this important discussion!

[Lizette_Pizza @LizettePizza]

Exciting results! Our research shows that providing functional information about unappealing species can significantly increase conservation attitudes in US adults and children. Thanks to @DebKelemen and Sarah Brown! I learnt so much collaborating with them in this project!

[Esra Nur Turan-Küçük @EsraNKucuk]

Happening now! Come and check @LizettePizza’s work! #SRCD2023 @BUChildLabs

Hapenning now! Come and check my poster presentation about children’s representation of possibilities in the present and future! @SRCDtweets #SRCD2023

[Sarah Lynch, PhD @SarahF_Lynch]

Had so much fun talking about potential applications of the CAMP task with lots of amazing scientists today — even if my mid-sentence facial expressions are a little wonky 🤪

[Nick Wagner @nickjameswagner]

Congrats @SarahF_Lynch on a great session! So much interest in your new task! #SRCD2023

[Esra Nur Turan-Küçük @EsraNKucuk]
