There's the way Trump is gleefully happy to accept someone else's Nobel prize, and then there's the way Richard Feynman viewed Nobel prizes.

🤯 Excited (and grateful) to have been awarded two grants: the GAČR Junior Star and the MASH Junior award from Masaryk University. They will support new research on how segregation shapes the spread of attitudes and behaviors, and how we can better integrate psychology with a social network approach.

1/4 📢 New paper in PSPB with Andreas Flache! How do attitudes & behaviors spread? #SocialInfluence among #adolescents isn’t just passed from friend to friend — it also flows through group norms. Both channels shaped academic drive, #prejudice, #religiosity. 👉DOI: 10.1177/01461672251366388

Does anyone know of a direct comparison between EU countries in terms of metrics used to evaluate universities and/or academic researchers? I'm especially interested in whether one can contrast countries that use N publications with those that don't. I suspect it's not so simple though

Some 100 private jets will fly to Venice for Jeff Bezos' wedding, and I recycle yoghurt cup lids.

1/4 ⚡️Preprint⚡️I put into question the effect of intergroup friendship on outgroup attitudes in schools while showing the importance of social influence and exposure to outgroup peers. It highlights the benefits of social network analysis and SAOM. doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/zdc9j
