Season 2 of our MSPS podcast is now available! While I personally find it disconcerting to listen to people on podcasts who I know (and speak to regularly), there is lots of great research to engage with #psychtalks

A huge congrats to Shivam Kalhan, supervised by @MartaIGarrido @HesterRob on submitting his PhD thesis! He discovered that aspects of learning and decision-making, such as the anterior cingulate cortex and dopaminergic systems, are gone awry in people with substance use disorder.

@mnkearney Still concerned? I’m at the primary school stretch. Broken over the lower lying paths around the gardens and bubbling up through man holes on Plumridge St. Bridge has been closed all afternoon. Photo from 7pm.

One of the most unsettling concerns about recommender systems is that they might be changing us in ways we don't fully understand. @jonathanstray, @acookiecrumbles and I wrote a piece teasing apart the relevant ideas.
