Honored to receive the Best Global South & Indigenous Presenter award at #CES24 for our research on ritualization in Indian miniature paintings! Thanks to @CristineLegare & my colleagues at @UTAustin. Excited for future work in cumulative cultural transmission.

I am excited to share my new research publication, 'Integrating Human-Centered Design and Social Science Research to Improve Service-Delivery and Empower Community Health Workers: Lessons from Project RISE.'

At the beginning of February, our National Science Foundation (NSF) #AccelNet Network of Networks came together at UC San Diego. We are excited to begin sharing images of our time working together as a transdisciplinary team.

Our first (ever) documentary film is complete! Our team @ApplyCogSci worked with painters from Jaipur, India & @SuperflyIndia to illustrate the process of mastering this ancient and sacred art form @TempletonRelig

The practice of miniature painting flourished in India during the reign of the Mughal Empire, but this rich tradition emerged from a constellation of ancient Chinese and Persian influences dating back to the 3rd Century!
@SBICard_Connect I sent you an email a long ago. I was on a telecall just today. How private do you want me to go to get my request processed? Anyway, I have sent you a private message as well.
@SBICard_Connect, why you are behaving like a fraudulent company. I need to close my credit card account. I've been on telecall for half an hour, and they never transferred me to the account closing officials. I asked for a callback, and I did not get a callback.
Members of our Center for Applied Cognitive Science joined art experts in Jaipur, India last week! They will spend the next month collaborating with local artists to uncover the cognitive and social processes of spiritual transmission through traditional Indian art forms.
We often see rituals as superstitions in direct opposition to biomedical practices, however this is not always true. Published in @idr_online, do read more about rituals in this article by @CristineLegare, @Faiz04Hashmi, @nachiketmor, @NeelaSaldanha.

The Center for Applied Cognitive Science (CACS) run by @CristineLegare at UT- Austin is seeking a Research Program Coordinator to manage and coordinate research operations. Earliest start date is 10/01/2022. Position is for one year with the possibility of extension.
An overview of our research @ApplyCogSci on the effects of formal schooling on values, beliefs, identities. Fieldwork underway in Mexico @LAbarbanell & Ghana @adote2000 & Vivian Dzokoto. Tanzania is next! @DStibbardHawkes@corenapicella

Grad student @Faiz04Hashmi presented his thesis topic to the team today! His project builds on the @ApplyCogSci Project RISE work and explores how community health workers maternal experiences & beliefs shape adoption of perinatal health behaviors among mothers in Bihar, India.
📖 Interesting ethnographic study! It highlights the inseparability of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations for understanding Community Health Workers, a finding that overlaps with Project RISE #research:

SPOTLIGHT: #PLAY project led by @nyuniversity includes 70 researchers from 50 U.S. & Canadian universities recording behaviors of infants & mothers during natural activity in homes. Searchable data will span language to locomotion, gender to gesture, & object play to emotion.
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are the key to improving access and adoption of health behavior to a larger population. And project RISE is an interdisciplinary effort to strengthen CHWs positioning by studying their motivations, abilities with the social and cultural contexts
SPOTLIGHT: Community Health Workers help connect underserved communities to formal health systems across the globe. Our @BMGFIndia-funded Project RISE aims to find novel ways to improve the structure of CHW programs by understanding their motivations & social dynamics.
🔎POLL: Our global #COVID-19 project studies how health “influencers” shape COVID-19 vaccine beliefs and behaviors.
What is the top reason for getting a COVID-19 #vaccine?
