Aw, man! We’re so close, folks! SO CLOSE!

Two Weeks In The Death Spiral Of Cardiff University, by an anonymous academic. This is truly shocking read. The Cardiff executive board should hang their heads in shame. voice.cymru/two-weeks-in...

Trump's anti-science measures affecting people worldwide, including the UK: 'In England, volunteers in a malaria vaccine study also lost access to medical oversight and were thus placed at risk of unmonitored adverse reactions'

I was listening to R4 this morning and a @metoffice.bsky.social spox said that English wind speed record was 118mph in Cornwall in 1979 (i.e., when the signal of climate change was only just emerging from noise of nat variability) I then thought of this article: theconversation.com/the-climate-...

My students are researching the possible wellbeing effects of festivals. Do consider taking part in their short survey, or sharing this with others.

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇

So excited to be attending @profjohndrury.bsky.social's professorial lecture! 😊

Open letter of psychologists and neuroscientists for peace in the Middle East tinyurl.com/PsychLetter

Great advice and true for most (all?) disasters. Survivors are sometimes overwhelmed by having to sort through donated items, most of which aren't actually helpful.

Absolutely love hearing stories like this, i.e. of The Psychologist 'out in the wild'... here's that original article www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

The law is the law. For everyone. As it should be. There is no more denial, no more sugarcoating, no more gaslighting. Now, the EU should immediately announce sanctions. apnews.com/article/icc-...

"Bluesky is awesome now, for how long?" I mean, look, all things change and end, we will all die, earth will be uninhabitable in a billion years, then the sun will expand and destroy the planet, and the universe will die a slow death of proton decay. But BEFORE THAT, let's make this place fun, okay?

Call for papers! At BJSP we are having a special issue on the social psychology of Collective Racial and Ethnic Violence. Full information can be found here: bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/...  #socialpsychology
