Alyssa Guthrie had trouble finding a research opportunity her freshman year @DukeU because she lacked previous lab experience—until she discovered the CNRI program, designed to make #UndergraduateResearch more accessible.🎓#Duke2023 duke.is/c9pf3 @DukeBrain @DukeTrinity

So excited to have the opportunity to talk about the benefits of curiosity! Lovely article from BBC's David Robson. If you're interested in learning more about our preprint, check it out here: psyarxiv.com/x5hgc @DukeBrain @DukePsychNeuro

David Robson@d_a_robson

My latest piece for @BBC_Worklife looks at a trait that I personally value a lot in other people: curiosity New research shows that curiosity improves memory, boosts creativity, and reduces burnout. It features Houdini and his elephant Jennie! bbc.com/worklife/artic…

🚨Cool study alert!🚨 Work from awesome colleagues looking at curiosity as information unfolds

Abby Hsiung@HsiungAbby

Really excited to share our new preprint! We find that curiosity isn't always about resolving uncertainty ASAP and will even promote delaying resolution to see the natural unfolding of information. @JiaHou_Poh @rAlisonAdcock @scott_huettel Check it out: psyarxiv.com/x5hgc

New preprint on emotion regulation from our lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We found that the implicit assumption in the field that up- and down-regulation act on the same affect-generating brain regions is wrong.

Reappraising COVID-19 threats had mental health benefits, but was associated with lower health-protective behaviours. BUT reappraisal to cultivate positive emotions had benefits without the costs: cool work by @Angela_Moriah @ecwillroth1 @BrettQFord et al. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Many of us assume COVID has been a mental health catastrophe, and the suffering it's produced is undeniable. But a new paper finds a surprising amount (85+%) of people retained good mental health or recovered quickly (blue, purple, and green curves). (Note: this is in the UK)
