Congratulations to our undergraduate RA, Miranda, for receiving the Conference Travel Grant! 👏🎉 This grant is awarded to students to help subsidize the cost of presenting their research at in-person and virtual professional conferences.

Starting the week strong with a newly accepted paper in Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences, co-authored with postdoc @lizsnoland.bsky.social and Sohad Murrar! We merged two largely independent research lines to call for data disaggregation of Asian Americans and MENA Americans
