In our new open access paper we find that motivation regulation can often act as a buffer on cost except when things get too costly😮‍💨 Check out how the different dimensions of cost play out 👀

My intent was to prepare my students but I didn’t realize how much I’d learn from these replies as a new PI! Thank you all for sharing your questions and the reasons why 🤩
In lab meeting we're talking about how to prep for grad school interviews & practicing with each other. What's your go-to interview question? I really enjoy hearing students' responses to "How have your past experiences shaped your research interests?"

“In the name of protecting free speech, the scientific community is not allowed to speak”- misinformation research is under attack. NIH pulled an initiative to improve health comm, researchers are being harassed. We need a powerful counterresponse from universities & the broader research community.
