Flights and hotel booked for SPSP :-) Speaking at pol psych precon, then attending intervention sci precon organized by former PhD student Julia Buzan. Also excited about Saturday symposium on social psych in Palestine. Check them out, and let me know if you'll be in Denver and want to catch up!

Punchy interjection from Karim Bettache (showing PSPR being more bold),asking why psychology doesn't do more study of capitalism. I agree - it's hard to notice as it's like the water we swim in, yet we'd always check water to be sure it's not getting too harmful! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I feel a bit like this about open science. The reforms will likely lead to positive outcomes, even if we overestimate their ability to solve our problems (e.g., replication crisis) The open science movement got us to THINK about what we're doing. That's a positive spin-off if nothing else.

I taught on a course of Thom's at CEU last year and it was so impressive: smart, thoughtful students from across the disciplinary spectrum, taking a deep dive with big thinkers on questions that matter. This one looks excellent, hope you will take a look.
