Am 14. September gibt es in Bochum eine Abendrevue zu Verschwörungserzählungen, die ich mit Pia LAmberty und Lote Pummerer gestalte unter Mitwirkung von Tobias Rothmund und Sekten-Info NRW. Tickets sind begrenzt und unter dem Link bestellbar.

Kurt Hugenberg asks whether individual prejudice affects mental representations of facial trustworthiness... Gender and Race prototypicality might be baked in into how white people construe facial trustworthiness Day 3 of Osthofen #facemeeting

Ipek Oruc brings welcome vision science expertise to Osthofen #facemeeting. The "Face diet" method records all faces people encounter during their waking hours. People do see more own-race faces in their environment - limited other-race exposure is associated with increased ORE.
