**New pre-print!** 1. Greater wealth is associated with higher prosocial preferences and behaviours across 76 countries. Holds for BOTH objective and subjective wealth. Resource scarcity (precarity), makes a difference. Read: psyarxiv.com/zc5a3 @DrJoCutler @thepsychologist

@FirdoseM @ESPNcricinfo Maia Bouchier is an elite sportsperson who just scored a century on her test debut. So why write a story about her Dad and his speech? If a bloke did this it would be about him and how brilliant he was / how hard he worked, not about what his Mum said. #everydaysexism

What a first day covering a women’s Test for me! Over 400 runs, a late comeback by South Africa and a backstory with a player with a very special connection to @ESPNcricinfo. Read here: ⬇️⬇️ espncricinfo.com/story/sa-vs-en…

@datepsych What's the paper you've reference here?

I am standing to be a @coopuk Member Nominated Director. It would be a real privilege to represent the members. I believe my board/ strategy/marketing experience can help drive ethical growth & recruit the next generation of co-operators. I also have a track record of action on climate, inclusion and issues members care about. If you have a Co-op card, you can vote for any of the excellent candidates . Democracy at work. (plus for every vote a donation is made to @barnardos 🥰) #democracy #vote #coopuk

@JonathanPieNews I saw you in Oxford and you struggled to deal with hecklers there too. Your show was excellent, but your responses put you in opposition to the audience which must be an uncomfortable place for any performer to be. You're smart and funny.. just prep some good put downs no?

First time in my career I've had to restart a show. I am mildly ashamed, but at the same time; stop fucking shouting out stuff. Even if you think it's relevant. If you think what you have to say is more interesting than what I have to have say then maybe just stay at home.

@Humanists_UK @UniOfSurrey I booked this but couldn't attend will there be a recording available?

It's almost time for our #BlackhamLecture with Roi Cohen Kadosh, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at @UniOfSurrey. There's still time to book tickets and join us online at 19:30, as we explore the science of ADHD. Book now. Live tweets to follow. 🧵humanists.uk/events/blackha…

@KateRaworth Wow! Amazing! What an achievement Kate, so happy this is becoming an established idea.. as Gloria Gaynor might have said "We may survive".

When the Doughnut ends up on a quiz show...turns out 47% of the studio audience of 'Pointless' knew the answer.

4. Resource scarcity also interacts with the prosociality/wealth relationship:

@maddi_pow I recently discovered a whole branch of Philosophy of Science which revolved around classification - it's fascinating.. see p131 for table related discussion.. link.springer.com/book/10.1057/9…

Gave a lecture today on the philosophy of science and afterwards a student said “so if I put a vase on a stool, does that make it a table?”. I’ve thought about literally nothing since

We did well! Well done everyone @unibirmingham birmingham.ac.uk/news/2022/univ…

@robinpr71 Bad dancer?

I was in the same room as #RishiSunak a few weeks ago & I have to say I really wasn’t impressed on any level.

Sharing is caring

Congratulations Dr Patricia Lockwood (@thepsychologist) who has been awarded a prestigious grant from @ERC_Research to investigate why and when people make decisions to help others. birmingham.ac.uk/news/latest/20…
