🔥How do we respond when observing an offender taking money from a victim? -focus more on the offender -prefer to punish offenders than compensate victims -BUT when automatic attention falls on the victim, the punishment preference vanishes www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010027725001325

Writing a public engagement piece with your new student is a great way to get the PhD started - thanks for all your work on this @lauren-ford.bsky.social Maybe we can pivot your thesis to experimental workplace neurosurgeries ;)

We Europeans (including the UK) have no time to be depressed, to be angry, or to be scared. Too much time has been wasted over the past two years. No more burying one’s head in the sand, no more hoping for the best. Time to step up. For our security, for Ukraine, for our future.

I was shocked to hear that eLife will be replacing Michael Eisen @mbeisen.bsky.social as the journal's Editor in Chief for reposting a tweet by the Onion about the loss of lives among Palestinian civilians. I just sent in my resignation from my membership on eLife's Ethics Committee. /

When facing the "All we need is STEM!" approach to education, my usual response is: Developing the vaccine was the STEM problem; distribution & getting shots in arms was the Social Science problem; getting people to trust it & combatting misinformation was the Humanities problem-- which did we fail?

Hi all, I am a cognitive neuroscience researcher interested in social behaviour, especially decision-making and social norms. I don’t post much but if I do it’s about psych/neuro science and higher education. Would love to post about my cat but he told me not to. #PsychSkySci #neuroscience
