🚨New Paper🚨 Elected officials are increasingly extreme. E.g., a recent analysis of 84,000 state-level candidates found that extreme candidates are now winning at the highest rates in 30 years. Why are people increasingly drawn to extreme candidates?

Republicans and Democrats agree: They can’t agree on basic facts
Nearly eight-in-ten Americans say that when it comes to important issues facing the country, most Republican and Democratic voters not only disagree over plans and policies, but also cannot agree on basic facts. Ironically, Republicans and Democrats do agree that partisan disagreements extend to the basic facts of issues, according to a new Pew Research Center survey

Fellow European researchers, if at all in your power, try to get your school to consider late applicants who were admitted to US programs. Hearing from many cases of admitted to top US schools who last minute realize they won't be allowed in the country.

America used to be the first choice for international students. Now the Trump administration is doing its best to push them away. It might succeed in hurting the Ivies, but it will hurt American innovation and competitiveness more www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

This statement from the NSF is insane. Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false. Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

Really proud of this new work out @psychscience.bsky.social. Led by the amazing but bluesky-less Amanda Geiser and with @deborahsmall.bsky.social. We show that when comparing moral wrongs, people are (much) more willing to “scale up” than to “scale down” condemnation and punishment…

In such a noisy world, it can be difficult to remember who said what. In a new paper at @jcrnews.bsky.social, @spillersas.bsky.social and I find that source memory - the attribution of claims to their original sources - is more accurate for opinions than for facts. academic.oup.com/jcr/advance-...
