800 million people live in the southern hemisphere. Summer in the south is winter in the north. Plea to academics to stop using ‘spring’ etc as a universal timekeeper. Just say the actual month/date of the deadline. 🙏

It may seem strange to folks outside of academia, but there has been a line of prominent research within it arguing that misinformation isn't a problem. This paper pushes back, noting how those arguments often rely on poor definitions & operationalizations of what misinformation is & how it works.
In this new article in American Psychologist we respond to critics in detail and clarify two key points for the field;

(1) The prevalence of misinformation in society is substantial when properly defined.

(2) Misinformation causally impacts attitudes and behaviors.

Haven't opened this business yet, but I have orders for January already. 🤩🤩🤩
I totally forgot that I've been here over a year ago. 😬

Anyway, friends, I'm starting a business in Manila next year! Y'all who are here heard it first! Will let you know in January!

A friend said that I’m somewhat in a withdrawal syndrome from being in a relationship for the longest time. I forgot the sense of being single already, they said.
