I didn't grab a photo, but it was great to spend a few hours out for coffee and brainstorming this afternoon in the middle of an Arctic blast. Such a great team, and expect some exciting things from the EMP Lab soon! @amormino.bsky.social

2nd annual EMP Lab hike to David's Vista on Jackson Trail in Rothrock State Forest. One of the best vistas near Penn State. Catching the fade of the foliage with many members of our amazing team!

An EMP Lab congrats to @farvk.bsky.social for defending his masters thesis today, about moral outrage and information-seeking! On National Coffee Day, a coffee and curiously outraged toast!

New preprint with @dcameron.bsky.social and @minzlicht.bsky.social!

We find that people choose to receive empathy from human over AI empathizers, despite finding AI responses superior in terms of empathy and making them feel more heard.

Proud advisor moment, x2!! Yesterday I helped both @farvk.bsky.social and @jdweng.bsky.social each submit their first manuscripts as members of the EMP Lab. It was a wonderful and well-timed lab moment to end the week, worthy of celebration and savoring. What thriving team science is all about!
