@EliJFinkel Thanks so much, Eli!

[Xavier Bonilla @xavierbonilla87]

I am very pleased to share the conversation I had with the mighty Emily Falk! We talk about the #neuroscience work she has done with her lab on #choice and #values. Hope everyone enjoys! @falklab

[Lynne Lamberg @LynneLamberg]

How do we make everyday choices? Do our choices enhance our lives? In What We Value: The Neuroscience of Choice and Change, Emily Falk explores the brain systems at work in making—and improving—our daily decisions. See https://t.co/H3trNGifXG @falklab @ScienceWriters #SciWriBooks

📢 Across the U.S., cuts to federal funding for health research could cause losses of over $16B and 68,500 jobs. How will YOUR area be impacted?

Excited to share SCIMaP, a website that our team has created to communicate the impact of funding cuts!

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs.

Find out how your community may be impacted.

Trying to figure out how to make the world a better place tonight? Consider going to work with Prof. Kanu Pandey on a PhD researching politics and humor in beautiful Santa Barbara.

A hopeful outlook fosters stronger connections and well-being. Read Hope for Cynics by Jamil Zaki to learn more: https://t.co/8MX8QnyRW5

After I called @angeladuckw to make sure she had a voting plan, we decided we'd team up to nudge a friend to vote. Who better to nudge than the king of nudges himself, @R_Thaler. 👀Good news: he made a voting plan and executed. Nudge your friends, too: https://t.co/1Mqa4RGUDR

This month’s book recommendation is “Hope for Cynics” by Jamil Zaki. This beautiful book weaves together stories and science to highlight the case for being a hopeful skeptic — base your views on evidence, and be open to changing your mind. Thank you, Emily, for the suggestion!

Dr. @BoazHameiri is interested in how trait victimhood influences people's support for and participation in political violence. “Perceived victimhood shapes support for interpartisan political violence in the United States” was published in the Psychology of Violence journal.

How do we reach agreement? @HaranSened,@shannon47burns @DianaTamir @falklab @L_MwilambweT, Lily Tsoi and I just published a preprint on the conversational dynamics supporting agreement. Dive in to see how exploring diverse perspectives makes a difference. [1/8] 🧵

You know what your @SfNtweets experience is probably missing, an opportunity to meet your queer colleagues and allies. Happening at 6:45 PM in room N138 is the LGBTQIA2S+ mixer. Come for the chips and drinks and stay for the social connections!!!
