We describe these barriers, and propose a psychologically-informed approach to support and increase voter turnout among youth.

This week, J.D. Porter speaks to our grad student working group about AI & LLMs—whether you love them or hate them, tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are increasingly hard to ignore in academic research. J.D. will explain how these tools actually work, enabling us to be better users/critics of AI.
