Out now in Open Mind, @chencheng.bsky.social and I investigated the kinds of computations young children can do with non-symbolic representations of small, exact quantities. We find small, exact reps are more computationally flexible than analog magnitude reps! direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...

Thank you Tamar Kushnir (scholars.duke.edu/person/TAMAR...) for sharing your work with us on "Becoming a moral agent". 👶 🔜 👼 Tamar argues that developing meta-cognitive abilities are key for understanding that moral choices are "up to us" and not fully determined by circumstances.

Out today: we discovered a new class of social hallucination - perception of chasing with high confidence. It is elevated in people who are paranoid and people who perceive meaning in the universe www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Women make up over half of the U.S. population, but research on #WomensHealth conditions is severely lacking. Our new report makes recommendations for NIH women's health research priorities, workforce, systems, funding, and more. Learn more: https://buff.ly/3ZD7SfY

As community organizers for Tight Lipped, we are so excited to have helped guide these funding priorities. You can read a small piece of my story as a vulvo-vaginal pain patient and donate to help us improve access to care for these conditions here www.flipcause.com/secure/fundr...

A groundbreaking new report from the The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine calls for the creation of a new NIH institute dedicated to women's health. The report included my testimony on vulvodynia (chronic vulvar pain)!
