Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.🧵

If you haven't already, go take the time to read this paper by @aoife_mctiernan & @DarrenBowring, you won't regret it. A refreshing read that resembles the science of behaviour analysis and a framework of values that we all should practice within.
Behaviourism is called behaviourism, because it is the behaviour which is measured. But it is the environment that is changed. Our science considers the IVs (environment) impact on the DV (the response). Well done on this renewed focus on context 👏👏👏
