Presented my recent paper “Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction” with Léo Ducas and Paola de Perthuis at Asiacrypt 2025 in Melbourne. A great way to wrap up the year! Merry Chrissy everyone :)

The Bondi beach attack is the deadliest mass shooting in Australia in decades, after the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre. The shooting is a heinous attack on the Jewish community. Authorities should invest substantially in efforts to counter threats.

Australia Beach Shooting a Heinous Attack on Jewish Community
Two gunmen opened fire on people celebrating the first night of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. Sixteen people have been confirmed dead, including one of the shooters, with at least 42 injured.

More quality evidence is emerging that "pro-environmental behavior" is not a coherent, unitary thing. One behavior is not a proxy for all other behaviors. www-sciencedirect-com.proxy.uba.uva.nl/science/arti... Blankenberg et al. 2025 1/3

🌱 Higher perceived complexity around climate mitigation was associated with lower policy support and intentions to act. Check out @saarataavila.bsky.social's awesome new paper on how perceived complexity can be measured (subscales: effectiveness uncertainty, trade-offs, and goal conflict).

🎊 New paper out! In this @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social Forum, we (with @lucasmolleman.bsky.social and @bjornlindstrom.bsky.social) summarize how reward learning can lead to adaptive social learning. We also explore the broader consequences for cultural evolution: www.cell.com/trends/cogni... 🚄

In our now published letter in @pnas.org, we raise two wider issues for behavioral science: 1) Intentions are poor predictors of behavior 2) Effects on intentions need not generalize to effects on behavior We join calls for researchers to measure actual behavior: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Expressing intentions is not climate action letter published in PNAS: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2512457122

Very happy to share the first scientific publication of our microfibre-citizen science project! 🥳😊 How does participating in citizen science impact people’s views and behavior? See thread by @annabosshard.bsky.social for more details on the psychological outcomes of our study. More to come soon…

Washing synthetic clothes is a major source of microplastic pollution. Citizen science can help understand which behaviors & materials cause most emissions, like through at-home data collection. We asked: Does participation also boost pro-environmental motivation? 🧵 pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

Strikes are beginning, because the cuts are dire. This story has many twists and turns, but in short, Dutch universities are proposing to sacrifice certain programs like our Psychology BSc in English to hope to appease the nationalist government. This isn't done yet. www.folia.nl/en/actueel/1...

The Veganuary campaign, which encourages a plant-based diet in January, has successfully reduced meat consumption over the long term, with over 80% of participants reducing their intake to half or even more after six months. .

Does taking part in Veganuary put people off meat in the long term? Here’s what the evidence shows
In 2024, 25 million people gave up meat for Veganuary. For many, it was a lasting change.
