This month's bonus video episode is with longtime friend of the podcast, @lauraewallace.bsky.social. She's back to reminisce about my awkward interviewing in the early days of Opinion Science, share her recent research on mindset certainty, and try out a new segment.

This month's bonus episode features science communicator @alexdainis.bsky.social sharing her thoughts on responsibly communicating uncertainty when reporting on science. It's an important extension of this month's episode on the persuasive potential of (the right kind of) uncertainty.

Panera manages to make the most timid of product recommendations. When a brand says "You might also like..." they're expressing uncertainty using language called "hedging." Have you seen a brand make the most lukewarm, uncertain pitch for its own product? Leave a comment to tell us about it.

Also, have you IDed this one? I've been trying to track it down. Closest I found is a copycat in an Indian specimen, but no luck yet on connecting it to an American foundry/name.

Beautiful! Have you come across this Cincinnati mark before? It's only on the corner pieces of this border. I haven't seen it ina Cincinnati specimen but I assume that must rhe foundry it came from!

From episode 119 of Opinion Science, featuring Dr. Demi Oba. His research highlights how people express various kinds of uncertainty, and some of it can be persuasive--even more persuasive than expressing certainty.

When people see their political party talk about why their positions are morally correct, it inspires people to take action and express their support for that party because they feel especially proud. From ep 118 of Opinion Science with Dr. Jae-Hee Jung.

Is moral language in politics a recipe for polarization, or is it actually a bridge to finding common ground? Today's episode of Opinion Science features my conversation with @jaeheejung.bsky.social on the strategic language of persuasive messages in political campaigns and beyond.

Finally took the step get the show on Instagram, and it lasted a week. Yeesh. Is there no way to see what rule I so egregiously violated in one week of posting a few things to an official podcast page?

Ep 116! @yamilrvelez.bsky.social uses innovative methods to understand how people arrive at their views. We talk about beliefs vs. opinions, why correcting misinformation doesn’t necessarily move opinions, and the power of tailoring messages to the reasons that matter to someone's view.

What a funny coincidence. I was just going through a case I rescued from an old shop a couple days ago and recognized this from your post. On second look, maybe it's not exactly the same, but close.
