Very very excited to share this paper (click the below link)! We found that both perceived pathogen exposure *and* objective state mortality rates positively predict disgust levels, in FOUR countries! #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #openaccess

@avnimishra1015 @NEEPSoc @PsychdOnScience Great job on your first conference!!

a fun lil write-up about our most recent publication 😷 thanks @HumBehEvoSoc for the invite!

"Does high infection risk influence casual sex attitudes, desires, and behavior? These results may surprise you." https://t.co/8RYFM84XLM

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

@ExtravertedFace @AnthroLiz sounds a bit related to your work!

[Jess Hlay, PhD @JessHlay]

#TLDR so what are the main take aways? SOI is related to disgust, but we need more nuanced research! future studies should look at these questions longitudinally, and continue to assess disgust and sociosexual domains individually to zero in on these results. lets get to work!

[Jess Hlay, PhD @JessHlay]

Very excited to share my team's most recent publication on #disgust & #sociosexuality! We looked to see if disgust sensitivity predicted sociosexual desire, attitude, and behavior SEPARATELY – an important replication and extension of past research 🦠

[Jess Hlay, PhD @JessHlay]

Additionally, we found the the relationship between disgust sensitivity & sociosexual behavior was indeed mediated by sociosexual attitude and desire. Might seem like common sense, but a pretty cool finding nonetheless 🧠

i have to say, after two years of missing in-person conferences... i'm running low on tote bags

[Jess Hlay, PhD @JessHlay]

ok I was excited when I first saw this, but I’m even MORE excited to listen at least 5 more times. Shout out to Dr @TinaLasisi for breaking down the science, history, and current implication of #HairResearch! Looking out for the next one with y’all @jvn

@LemurLesbian would highly recommend the french indie ⚡️ playlist on spotify (as long as you don't speak french lol)!!

[Jess Hlay, PhD @JessHlay]

@HKBradshaw just gonna leave this here -- we also compared pre- and during-pandemic samples AND looked at perceived and objective pathogen exposure and all samples :)
