Officially landed back in Hawaii after SISPP and already longing to see everyone in February. Grateful for the people who make grad school worth it 💕

Just wrapped up the incredible SPSP summer school #SISPP and I feel absolutely inspired! The passion there was infectious, and the camaraderie among fellow attendees made the experience even more enriching 🌟 Thanks for an unforgettable experience. Grateful for these friendships!

I would appreciate it if people who are interested would consider stopping by at a symposium I am chairing @SRCD2023. Lots of fantastic speakers including Drs. Peter Blake, Joshua Knobe, and Melanie Killen. Saturday at 3:15pm!

[Daniel Yonas @dyrsrch]

Are you interested in the intersection of intergroup processes and moral psychology? Come check out my poster @SPSP2023 !

Life can feel meaningless. We wondered if the timeless "hero's journey" can help.

8 studies in JPSP show that seeing your life story as a hero's journey increases meaning in life.

This paper also reformulates the hero's journey into 7 key steps that apply to modern life. 🧵

Today I gave a guest lecture in a class that I TA for. It was nerve-wracking at first but also rewarding and uplifting. Getting feedback from students who actually show interest in the material and ask questions because they find it interesting is an incredible feeling.

“I’ve had many worries in my life, most of which never happened.” <- I think about this Mark Twain quote often and I think it applies

[Dr. Larisa, Assistant (to the) Regional Professor @samclab]

One of the best things I've learned for work/life is not to react right away. Problems seem smaller the next day & sometimes I expect for stressful things to happen that just ... never happen. Putting that out there in case it's useful for anyone else as the semester starts.

[Dr. Larisa, Assistant (to the) Regional Professor @samclab]

Colleen Berryessa (Twitterless?) gave a really informative talk in our lab meeting today on morality & punishment in a legal context. I thought this paper was especially interesting - uses qual data to show when remorse does & doesn't appear sincere: https://t.co/LWRf226CMC

[Daniel Yonas @dyrsrch]

I got invited to give a talk for the wonderful lab of Dr. @tmandalaywala . Had an amazing time and everyone had such insightful questions. It’s weird to think that I used to get choked up at science fair. Progress is slow but steady.

Two years into my Ph.D and I’ve presented my first in-person poster and just had a great time meeting so many awesome people at #CDS2022. Can’t wait to come back.

[Oriel FeldmanHall @orielf]

The feeling of getting tenure really is that good! So much gratitude for my mentors (both formal and informal) who trained me on the many ways to speak the language of science, and most importantly—my lab—they are the reason I got here. 🙏🏻

[James Dunlea, Ph.D. @James__Dunlea]

SPSP-goers: Reminder that our lab's fabulous honors student, @goel_devyani, will be presenting her thesis work today (12:30PST) at a virtual poster entitled, "Perceptions of intergenerational immorality: Judgments of children of incarcerated parents across development"

[Daniel Yonas @dyrsrch]

Been twitter MIA for a while, thought that I should commemorate my first in-person conference somewhere @SPSP2022

[Daniel Yonas @dyrsrch]

Couldn’t have done anything without such an amazing mentor!

[Dr. Larisa, Assistant (to the) Regional Professor @samclab]

Let me tell you about how amazing @dyrsrch is. He won not one but TWO awards to present his work @SPSPnews! Stop by during the conference to see his poster on children's and adults' desire to learn about why others perform pro-social behaviors & transgressions. Yay, Daniel!

[Daniel Yonas @dyrsrch]

@trishakatz97 @MorbidPsych @James__Dunlea This is really cool. I'm new to the curiosity space, but I'd be super interested in learning more!

[James Dunlea, Ph.D. @James__Dunlea]

A 🧵: Happy to share new work with @rgwolle and @samclab!

We examined children's attitudes + behaviors toward others based on perceived ability and desire to change. We studied this topic using the example domain of immigration.

Just had my first ever poster presentation at #SPSP2021. What an amazing opportunity to get to listen to so much innovative and interesting research. Hope to make some more connections and overall just glad to be a researcher.
