Absolutely ecstatic to share our new piece in @NatureCareers about our group SPEAK: Scientists Promoting Equity and Knowledge and our ideas for ways *you* can SPEAK for equity at your institution! https://t.co/e1pvqK5ch9

@n3uro_virtual @ToyotaResearch Yes, multiple positions, including this one! Machine Assisted Cognition is now Human-Centered AI (HCAI). :) https://t.co/JwL0UIzGaL

Delighted to share that our amazing #HCAI team @ToyotaResearch is recruiting interns for multiple opportunities, including one in Future Product Innovation. Please share widely! https://t.co/r5stlFIvvV

We are a highly interdisciplinary group looking for a motivated intern with expertise in a range of topics: physiological sensing, NLP, representation learning for capturing preferences, causal inference, generative AI, HCI, and design and creativity. #teamscience

Iranian academics are under attack. We call on all academics to defend faculty and students in Iran, and demand the immediate release of all students from the prisons of the regime.

Colleagues, please consider adding your name to this statement:

Thank you, @ConanOBrien & @TeamCoco, for amplifying Iranian voices.

Don't stop talking about #Mahsa_Amini and #IranRevoIution.

A young Iranian fan reached out to describe what’s happening right now in Tehran. This is an important conversation and I hope you’ll give it a listen.

More amazing work from an amazing team!

In crim trials, jurors tend to perceive a prosecutors case as strong because the crime is severe. In our new SCAN paper we use fMRI in mock jurors while they read diff crimes + evidence. We show that social cognitive processes drive this “crime-type bias” https://t.co/EAtf6ss7QH

Evin is no ordinary prison. Many of Iran’s best & brightest have spent long stretches confined there, where brave women & men are denied their basic rights for speaking truth to power. The regime is responsible for what happens to those inside right now.

This section about the attack on Sharif university on Sunday night from @farnazfassihi is really shocking picture of violence.

My academic colleagues, I expect all of you to sign this statement.

New preprint: We cut in ½ spread of misinformation on (simulated) social media platform, with small change to platform’s incentive structure. We just added 2 new buttons: ‘trust’ & ‘distrust’ to traditional buttons (‘like’, ‘repost’..). 3 things happened:

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood.

Here’s what brain fog actually is, and what it’s like to live with it. 1/

@woodforbrains @NIHAging Yay, Simon! Well done!

Check out our paper using fMRI in mock jurors to evaluate competing hypotheses about the cognitive mechanisms supporting evidence accumulation! This paper came from a multi-year collaboration with neuroscientists, psychologists, law professors, and trial consultants. thread: 1/7

A megastudy on a national sample of partisans (n=32,059) tested 25 interventions designed to reduce anti-democratic attitudes & partisan animosity.

The top 3 were:
-intergroup contact
-addressing mistrust in the media
-creating a common ingroup identity
