Out in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social Can people tell true from false news? Yes! Our meta-analysis shows that people rate true news as more accurate than false news (d = 1.12) and were better at spotting false news than at recognizing true news (d = 0.32). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Sydney's post goes on as a thread with an excellent summary of this work, and a link to the portal for submitting commentaries at BBS. Working on this with Sydney, Josh, and Nick was enormously productive in my own thinking about the structure and function of morality!

Where do moralizing religions come from? Useless cognitive by-products?Cultural group selection for complex societies? Our Psych Review paper argues: neither. Let’s rethink their cognitive & evolutionary origins🧵 w/ @manvir.bsky.social @nbaumard @jbaptistandre.bsky.social doi.org/10.1037/rev0...

🥳 My first publication ever in Personality and Individual Difference, with @edgardubourg.bsky.social and @hugoreasoning.bsky.social. Insight can arise from a wide range of experiences, from making groundbreaking discoveries to reading a whodunit. Are some people more interested in this feeling?

Nobel prize winner Katelyn Karikó has spent endless hours to gain unprecedented insights into nature. But she also enjoys the feelings of insight triggered by watching Columbo. Are there people who just enjoy feelings of insights more, whatever their source? Our recent findings suggest that yes:

There's a strong computational neuroscience track, where you could learn with the best in the field (e.g. Srdjan Ostojic, Alex Cayco-Gajic, Boris Gutkin, @stepalminteri.bsky.social, Valentin Wyart) and the mediocre, too (i.e. yours truly).

Do we cooperate because of institutions, or do institutions exist because we cooperate? In this @pnas.org paper led by @jliep.bsky.social, with @lfitouchi.bsky.social & N. Baumard, we develop a mathematical model that answers this question. 👇 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Deadlines are tomorrow (10 Dec) for EHBEA's New Investigator and Service to the Community awards. Both are fantastic opportunities to celebrate early career researchers and the activities that don't typically get rewarded in academia (teaching, outreach, mentoring, service) respectively 🥳 😀
