Thanks, Anna! Hope you are doing well!

Your slides were a true inspiration ❤️

Yessss. Any day now.... Thanks so much!

The course was a blend of technical lectures and applied discussions, and it was an opportunity for me to brush up on some open questions I had (DiD👀) and read exciting work from across all subfields in political science. Here is the syllabus: www.chagaiweiss.com/teaching/Cau...

Hi from My Toronto office ❄️☃️

I think the literature on intergroup contact is a good example. Initial meta-analyses of correlational work and small sample lab studies offer a very optimistic outlook, but recent large-scale RCTs draw a more complex picture....

ahh! APSA 2025!

Yes! One day someone (me?!) should do a placebo control trial, assigning people to take uber/waymo, to examine how waymo experience makes people more positive on AI...

Basically the story of every person who ever visited us in SF. They are pretty awesome!

Our lab partnered Gov Cox & @natlgovsassoc.bsky.social to test their Disagree Better initiative. Their PSAs showed positive impacts in our field experiment (w/ @chagaiweiss.bsky.social & Don Green).

Results: osf.io/preprints/os...

We also found in survey experiments that ppl liked and supported the govs in the videos across party lines and among strong partisans

These results show you *can* succeed in American politics - on Left and Right - by showing basic decency for those you disagree with

Then, as chair of @natlgovsassoc.bsky.social, Gov Cox recruited govs to film bipartisan endorsements of civility, nonviolence, and "disagreeing better." In a field RCT, we found these videos increased interest in pro-bipartisan orgs and openness to convos with those they disagree with politically
