Also keep in mind that studying with the sound of an oscillating fan improves concentration. Give it a try! https://t.co/R3bBAqhRPm

My media piece might be something we all need to keep in mind as finals are approaching: naps and their affects on nighttime sleep and cognitive behaviors in college students. Basically describing how destructive my napping habits are. https://t.co/DMXzU5jCTX

Objective truths are established by evidence. Personal truths by faith. Political truths by incessant repetition.

Doing studies on college students is like doing a study on mice; we aren't good models of "normal" human behavior #OutOfTheLabPSYC @B_resnick

Maybe if science was published with a story-telling style like we've learned about with Olsen, people would be more interested in it rather than the typical pop science articles #OutOfTheLabPSYC

It’s not magic. It’s science.

What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.
Addressing and adapting to climate change is vital because it is happening at an accelerated pace in the Arctic. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the global average.
Let’s address ANIMAL AGRICULTURE!! #Cowspiracy

I challenge everyone in #OutOfTheLabPSYC to find their best mom blog post that's scientifically proven false but widely believed among the crowd!

Bitter foods mean you’re a psychopath? Wrong, just small and not as scary tendencies #OutoftheLabPSYC

Learned in class that @wthfilm was COMPLETELY true. #OutOfTheLabPSYC

An incorrect media source quoted another incorrect media source? #OutOfTheLabPSYC

[Marisa Downing @psyc_marisa]

After thinking about it a little, maybe fake news is another cause of young people becoming more and more desensitized. Think about it. Seeing headline, after over-dramatized headline, we might begin to react slightly less to news now. #OutOfTheLabPSYC

#ENOUGH #NationalSchoolWalkout

[Marisa Downing @psyc_marisa]

Not psychology related but I’m planning a Save Our Students rally @ Stern Gardens on March 14th to support the #NationalSchoolWalkout . Come out and support the movement #ENOUGH

[Marisa Downing @psyc_marisa]

Personally, if i saw the headline to the effect of “Trump’s science guru denies global warming”, I wouldn’t look twice at the article #OutOfTheLabPSYC

Instead of talk show hosts telling us about science, why don't we get some actual scientists? #OutOfTheLabPSYC
