🚀 New paper in Cognition! Across six preregistered experiments, Ben Newell, Adam Harris & I show that people are sensitive to information leakage in the framing effect, providing evidence for a rational account of decision-making. 📖 Read it here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…
I'm excited to reveal my brand-new digital book: Mapping the World with R: Your Journey from Beginner to Data Cartographer. After years of coding, teaching, and sharing insights on my YouTube channel, I've compiled a comprehensive guide that demystifies spatial data…
Global trust in scientists was above the midpoint (even for #climate scientists) across 69k people from 68 nations. Trust was predicted more by #religion than #politics or #science #literacy. Political gaps in trust (climate v general) varied by nation. dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9…
A #nudge improves a decision environment. A #boost improves a decision competency. This paper argues against Sunstein's suggestion that boosts are thus educative or reflective (System 2) interventions. doi.org/10.1007/s11299… #BehavioralScience #Policy #PhilSci #CogSci #Edu

We started this as a “small side project” just to check what's what and expecting it to be wrapped up in about 3 months tops. 3 years and about 7 billion in-silico lesions after, the VOR is finally out in @eLife: elifesciences.org/articles/101780
2 years into making, the last chapter of my PhD thesis, and a set of wonderful collaborators: @m00rcheh, @ShreyDixitAI, @misicbata, @caioseguin, @GZamora_Lopez, @CCHilgetag. 🧵 What can we learn about communication in brain networks from 7000 million virtual lesions:
🚨 New paper in Memory & Cognition with Simon Handley & Rachel Stephens! Do people have #intuitive access to #logic or just rely on simple heuristics? Our findings suggest “intuitive” reasoning often reflects heuristics, not logic. 📄 Read: rdcu.be/ehp0J
New research by Wendy Higgins, @VictoriaSavalei, @vincepsy, and me shows that the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test scores have poor structural properties. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…
🎉 Excited to receive the 2025 WH Gladstones Population & Environment Fund! This grant supports my research on how extreme weather events shape public attitudes, emotions & climate action. Thanks to @Science_Academy for this opportunity!
Congratulations to the recipient of our WH Gladstones Population and Environment Fund for 2025 Dr Omid Ghasemi, whose unique research is examining behavioural responses to climate change. Based at @UNSW, his project investigates how Australians respond and adapt to…

Research by @omid_ghasemi21 et al suggests the framing effect is a rational response to information implied in the choice of frame—it is attenuated when the frame is not freely chosen and even more if speaker/listener interests are opposed: buff.ly/4b93B7Z
