I'm presenting my first project of grad school at #SPSP2024 today! Stop by to hear about who children expect to engage in self-promotional behavior 🤔

Best talk of #CDS2024 for me! 🤩

What an honor to present Anna Shusterman with the #CDS2024 award for Excellence in Cognitive Development Research at Undergraduate-Focused Institutions. She’s a model for how to do empirically rich and theoretically meaningful research with undergraduates.

✨👋Just a few days left to apply to our funded 5-year PhD position on inequality and children's self-views at KiDLAB! If you have any questions, please reach out.

👀 Important work from my friend Vikram Jaswal Vikram Jaswal: 'These results suggest that many autistic people who do not talk can learn how to spell. If they are given appropriate opportunities, they might be able to learn to communicate by typing.' journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

Really honored to be selected for this award!

Just got my copy of this bad boy.

For those of you who don't know him, Greg (now Twitterless) is a foundational figure in research on categorization. (His 1985 paper with Doug Medin, 'The Role of Theories in Conceptual Coherence,' got me into psychology.)

Pick up yours today!

With the fabulous Brian M Donovan Andrei Cimpian

New in Science Magazine with Brian M Donovan and BSCS Science Learning!

In a randomized trial with high school classrooms from six U.S. states, we find that more complex genetics education increases students' understanding of race as a social construction.

🌟Excited to share our new paper in Child Development! Four preregistered studies explored the roots of #awe in young minds, revealing children's deep appreciation for diverse 'zooming out' awe-inspiring experiences.

Hi! New paper: How do young kids make sense of achievement differences in the classroom? And why do their explanations matter? Led by Margaux Renoux at CeRCA 🙌

👉New paper on early structural reasoning is out! We tested two methods to increase children's recognition of structural constraints against girls in STEM. Showing that more girls would have participated in STEM without constraints reduces children's biases against girls.

👋Come work with us at KiDLAB! We offer a funded 5-year PhD position to study how socioeconomic gets into children’s heads, and why that matters. The project will be supervised by Eddie Brummelman and Stefanie Nelemans. Apply by March 17! Spread the word! tinyurl.com/mu2pwvp9
