Max Spohn

Just came back from my first @SJDMOfficial conference with a 3rd place in the Student Poster Award 🎉 Check out my poster on misperceptions of ideological complexity and partisan animosity here: maxspohn.com/IdeologicalCom… Thanks @JuliaMinson @CharlieDorison

Got a chance to present my first poster (with @CharlieDorison and @JuliaMinson) at the Polarization Workshop @MIT last week: maxspohn.com/IdeologicalCom… Thanks to the organizers @kati_kish @eugen_dimant @DG_Rand and @ylelkes for a wonderful workshop!

@HMRCcustomers Is there any way I can contact the income tax department other than calling?

@MaxSpohn I would suggest querying this directly with your bank, but this would be highly unlikely if they plan to deposit it in their own account to transfer it to you. Martin

Good morning, @HMRCcustomers are here until 8pm to answer your general queries on Twitter. Please don't post any personal details.

@HMRCcustomers Is it also possible for them to cash a check that is in my name - a friend did receive my check (they now live at my former address), I am just not sure if they can cash it.

@MaxSpohn Hi Max, sorry about that if you have a trusted friend or relative with a UK Bank account, you can contact the income tax department to ask if a replacement cheque can be sent to them on your behalf. They can then deposit and send the money to you directly. Martin

So many new ideas sparked by #ISPPAcademy at #ISPP2023 and so many new interesting connections - I had a blast😊

@JacobCJameson Now if you post more of this, you'll get more reactions from me ;)

This is now a bodybuilding Twitter account

Why do I feel the need to thank #ChatGPT after each response I get?

*Introducing Reputational Rationality Theory* Are cognitive biases always irrational? Excited to share a preprint proposing a theory for when and why observers reward error-prone decision makers. Sometimes, biases can be reputationally rational. psyarxiv.com/q27sj 🧵

Just got back from this wonderful workshop on subjective beliefs at @CEBI_UCPH with lots of new (and newly prioritized) research ideas. Thanks to @FelixChopra, @cp_roth, @Ingar30, @SettSonja, and @JoWohlfart for sharing all your insights!

It is unconscionable that a city of 900,000 people has a downtown that's essentially a parking lot. (Columbus, OH)

An interdisciplinary outing! Education Policy, Public Policy, and Health Policy PhDs!

@brikightlinger @RogersJennaR @RoniYadlin @bohanthinks @MaxSpohn @mlarreboure

Finally, I wouldn't be here without my parents' support and @alix_dumoulin emotional support, and endless feedback to research ideas

Excited to share that I am starting my PhD in Public Policy @Kennedy_School this week. Can't wait to see what the next five years will bring - I hope I can share some first research ideas soon 🍾

I'd also like to thank @eugen_dimant who always challenged my methodological priors and who shaped my academic interests significantly. And finally @j1berger @CaitLamberton for a first idea of what life and research as a PhD student could look like.

@PennMBDS provided me with endless opportunities - a research project with @CBicchieri and @EnriqueFatas culminated in a publication, and I got to work with @dhopkins1776 and Nicholas Sambanis among other amazing faculty.

I am grateful for all the academic support I received throughout the years, starting off at @uclspp @lucycbarnes @HicksTM - so many of my research ideas originated early during my undergrad and I find myself going back again and again to what I learned back then

1/ The *last* thing we need right now is more untested speculation about how to fix social media. We have *research* that can help us evaluate @elonmusk’s proposals to transform Twitter, and many of these studies might inspire him to throw some cold water on his plans 🧵

New FCA research note on decision points in high-risk investment consumer journeys out 🎉 Many great learnings, e.g. how effective simple FAQ-style information can be and how incredibly difficult it is to test friction in online experiments. Thoughts? fca.org.uk/publication/re…
