Cool study I took part in (as a participant, for once) mapping Croatian researchers abroad and providing recommendations for strenghtening ties between scientists at home and abroad. "From brain drain to structured brain circulation" has a nice ring to it! https://t.co/kvxfGWUq73

Imagine a person who acts one way online (by email, on social media) but a different way in person. Which of the two is more revealing of their true self?

In a new paper, we suggest that this question shows something deep about how people see certain environments as ‘natural’

Like individuals, we argue that collectives can possess intellectual humility.

Our new @TrendsCognSci paper explains who groups can achieve better decisions by catching each other's biases, expressing dissent, and more.

Once, we ran a study on Prolific and a participant wrote on Reddit that the study “Felt like I was losing the will to live.” I went on the Prolific Subreddit (24k members!) and asked what matters. Here is what they told me. A thread on happier participants and better studies 1/9
