🚨New paper in @TrendsCognSci 🚨 Why do some ideas spread widely, while others fail to catch on? @Jayvanbavel and I review the “psychology of virality,” or the psychological and structural factors that shape information spread online and offline. Thread 🧵(1/n)

'Night science' is what you do when you're not sure what's the question.

Maybe the most powerful figure I’ve seen this year: the racial gap in tickets from speed cameras vs. officer stops. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
