Job alert! @uoregon @UOsojc The Center for Science Communication Research is seeking a new Program Manager. Apply now! We will start looking at applications May 4. careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/5337…

Interested in #numeracy? @msilverstein18 writes about development of our 3 new numeracy scales, now out at JDM. Find links to text versions and Qualtrics code here too, caidelab.com/post/developin… @shootsreinhard @PBjalkebring @maxwellcely @UOPsych @UOsojc

I am excited to share my first first-author paper in collaboration with @sarahdubrow and @vpmurty! 1/3 link.springer.com/article/10.375…

The anchoring effect has been one of the most far-reaching phenomena across the behavior sciences with a history spanning 50 years. Have you every been curious what we have learned over these decades? Take a look at our new preprint: psyarxiv.com/teq7k/

So proud of @msilverstein18 for giving a fantastic talk today on affective motivated reasoning. His very first at a major conference and he hit it out of the park! #spudm2023 @UOPsych @uoregon

New paper with @ellenpetersjdm, @PBjalkebring, and @shootsreinhard now online at Judgment and Decision Making. We created and validated new, short measures of numeracy—the ability to understand and use numeric information. doi.org/10.1017/jdm.20…

Very excited to share my first preprint of graduate school! "Contextual familiarity rescues the cost of switching" w/ the amazing @vpmurty and @sarahdubrow psyarxiv.com/7sfh4/

Great contribution to science on emotion-driven choosing in breast cancer treatment. Led by @msilverstein18, it's his very first first-authored publication!! @UOPsych @uoregon

nice paper by @ellenpetersjdm about the power of numeric self-efficacy. many medical decisions and behaviors require persistence to be successful over time. #MDMTwitter journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

With his recent Bower Award, @PaulatDR has joined Marie Curie, Orville Wright, Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein as a Franklin Institute Award laureate. Read more about the award and his incredible work here: psychology.uoregon.edu/news-faculty-a…

Ed Yong speaking @UOsojc @uoregon "Instead of asking "What's my risk?" I've tried to ask "What's my contribution to everyone's risk?""

New @ScienceMagazine Podcast: Finland puts the finishing touches on the world’s first high-level permanent nuclear repository w/ @inspiringsci, and why being good at math might make you both happy and sad @PBjalkebring science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share that my research with @KrajbichLab, @stephsmithphd and Jan Hausfeld (not on Twitter) was published in PNAS paper today! Tweet-thread soon to come, but for now here's a summary article at ZME Science zmescience.com/science/news-s…

@ldscherer So crazy. Hoping for a smooth recovery for your community.

@ldscherer Keeping you in my thoughts!

The rise and fall of rationality After the year 1850, the use of words associated with fact-based (vs. emotional) arguments rose steadily in books and the @nytimes But the pattern reversed in the 1980s, and emotion-based arguments accelerated around 2007. pnas.org/content/118/51…
