@HKBradshaw *Sorry, I meant to say, if you run into a situation where the manuscript is totally unacceptable, *but you're still not sure what to do*, talk to the editor, because most of the time it'll be clear that a short review is all you need.

Why do we vent? Now online @EvolHumBehav: Venting about one mutual friend (the target) to another (the listener) can make the people we vent to prefer--and also preferentially support--us over the people we vent about A🧵on friends + Freud being wrong 👇sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to say: I've won the #NSFCAREER Award to work on FRIENDSHIP! My lab will investigate the computational design of friendship---how people, e.g., find, make, keep friends. We'll also emphasize science communication! Stay tuned for calls join us in Psychology @UCLA!

“Because it feels fun” is not an alternative to an evolutionary explanation! Sex can feel fun. Making friends can feel fun. Winning status can feel fun. Better question: Why do some activities feel fun (or generate behavior consistent w those feelings)? ⁦@TheAtlantic
