Note that this in itself is a well-replicated finding. At least a dozen studies show that when researchers replicate qualitative research, or re-analyze it, they come to basically identical themes. There is nothing special about qualitative research with respect to replicability.

We worked with @HaguePhd to test 3 explanations for the connection between religiosity and disgust sensitivity.

@benjamin_zubaly did an interview with @PsyPost about our recent paper in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences: psypost.org/religiosity-ma…

New paper out in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences! We find evidence that disgust sensitivity leads to religiosity through monogamous sexual attitudes. Calibrated mating goals might functionally shape belief. w/ @HealthPsychKell & @HaguePhd Link to publisher and PDF below!

Why do our friendships feel so vital? I wrote a short piece for @JessicaDAyers’ lab blog. It discusses why evolutionary psychology is critical for understanding complex social phenomena like friendship and provides an introduction to evolutionary social psychology.

@balisally Oh I’m sorry! 😢

Nooooooo 😭. My favourite mug.

A small story for a Monday night: A group of students in my History of Psych class devised a game of musical chairs to illustrate the concept of survival of the fittest. The prize was a box of Kinder eggs…representing the successful reproduction of those fittest.

@GabrielaLSuarez Congratulations, Dr. Suarez!

Yesterday, I successfully defended my dissertation and officially became Dr. Suarez!

@balisally It has looked like nighttime since 2:30pm.

It’s so dark and gloomy today that the street lights have been on since 2pm. Apart from the brief power outage that is.

@balisally Thank you very much! Ben did so much to make this happen.

@HealthPsychKell Well done to both of you!

Pleased and proud to share that recent honours student Ben has just accepted an offer to do a PhD in evo psych at Michigan. Appropriately, he is in Denver this weekend presenting his research at SPSP.

@FerasBasal I am a psychologist and I agree with you!

Am I the only one who thinks the brains tribe colours should’ve be green/blue and brawns tribe colours should’ve been red/orange? It just feels right, wish I knew a psychologist #survivorau

Dr Ally Louks is in the building. Cambridge PhD student Dr @DrAllyLouks from @Peterhouse_Cam went viral last year when she posted a photo of her thesis on the politics of smell in modern and contemporary prose. Here's her story about what happened next 👇

Good for the Canadian @cancersociety. The way to deal with the firehose of BS online is not by staying quiet and hoping it goes away. Maybe that approach worked 10 years ago, but we live in different times now; people will get hurt if we don't do our best to quickly correct misinformation.

made me remembered again about this (original post by @/mathewsmarz)

@ravenscimaven The pink/purple glasses are a terrific shape and size, but it looks like they are missing nose pads to fine-tune the fit. They are likely also heavier than the others. Lower left have nose pads and the 2nd best size and shape.

Which ones

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.” HUMANS!

@mattgreencomedy @MTakeshisan The way I exclaimed out loud in surprise watching tonight’s episode on PBS and spotting you at the police station reception desk!

@MTakeshisan Sadly I don’t think Mrs S has been recommissioned. But I think Marlow Murder Club has…

The episode of Mrs Sidhu Investigates that I’m in has just been released - you can watch it on Drama at 8pm tonight or here now… uktvplay.co.uk/shows/mrs-sidh… It’s a fun show - enjoy!

One of the worst ways to experience regression to the mean is when one of your favorite artists releases a new album.
