Incredible crew! Love getting the chance to come together (especially in 80 degree weather) @ABCTNOW

What does Harvard do with federal funding? Develop more effective treatments for cancer, heart disease, and suicide. Create new chemical methods that will lower drug prices (+ RoboBees!). All aimed at better understanding our world & improving our lives: harvard.edu

The first cohort of APS Editorial Fellows share their experiences and advice for future fellows. Read thoughts from Iván Carbajal, Leyla Loued-Khenissi, @ChelseaBoccagno @itskongmeng, and @ShunyataRajesh psychologicalscience.org/publications/o…

Lived Experience SIG here! We wanted to share another great resource with you about supporting people around you who have self-injured.

At this moment, it feels especially poignant to share that all of the "lessons learned" in this paper came from our collective experiences leading @NIMHgov funded studies on suicide. The paper itself was inspired by our NIMH colleagues, champions of #SuicidePrevention in the US.

Can emotion regulation interventions spread from treated to non-treated people in a group? We examine this question in a paper published in @NatureComms, led by @Michael_Pinus & @Yajun_Cao. nature.com/articles/s4146…

@Rocco_in_Sydney Thanks so much! We had a lot of fun with this one

This new research published in PNAS is so damn cool... 👏

@johnmark_taylor Thanks so much, JohnMark! Always inspired by you, you genius human :). We miss you!

@ChelseaBoccagno Congrats to you and Colin! This is a tour de force

Excited to see this paper, led by powerhouse Colin Conwell, finally out! In this work, we wanted to understand the puzzling relationship between seeing & feeling: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

& see here for a great summary from Hobart & William Smith (Dan Graham's institution), written by Andrew Wickenden: hws.edu/news/2025/seei…

Huge shout-out to Colin for the incredible computational feat he led!

Since then, I've also learned a ton about computational aesthetics from my fellow co-authors, who are rigorous experts in this space & just wonderful people in general: Dan Graham & Ed Vessel. Great early birthday present for me -- & for Colin, who shares my birthday!

We looked @ 3 aspects of affective experience: valence, arousal, & beauty. Broadly, we found that machines that got 0 training on emotion can predict considerable variance in human ratings of affect (53%, on average). What does it mean?! See the paper for a whole lot more :)
