Yesterday I presented my @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org #polpsy element at my home @sotonpolitics.bsky.social: brilliant panel discussants @piariggirozzi.bsky.social @terezacapelos.bsky.social @florianfoos.bsky.social,Konstantinos Katsikopoulos & exceptionally supportive colleagues! THANK YOU! 🙏

Thanks to the anonymous reviewers and the editor @plosone.org and everyone who gave feedback on the project! We are working in redesigning the game with a more hopeful ending to enhance the benefits of playing the game for pro-environmental beliefs. A new design was presented @ispsyale.bsky.social

🚨📝Can intergenerational empathy promote pro-environmental beliefs, policy support and behaviour?
journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... This is the RQ of this article published @plosone.org w/ Edana Beauvais. My favourite project so far, & the most creative!

It is one of those mornings that I have this existential career crisis questioning the value of my work as an academic. The world is on 🔥What can we do to improve the state of affairs around the world? What is the contribution I can make as an individual, mom, academic, and a citizen?

🚨My small book with
@cambridgeuppolisci.bsky.social
on timely #empathy #politics is online and I can't be happier! 🚨

This was a fantastic workshop, organized by @antolw.bsky.social & Hélène Landemore @ispsyale.bsky.social. Glad to see cool studies on emotions and democracy, meet new people, and hang out w/ friends, despite the political misery of these days,heavy jetlag, & my sore throat! See you, New Haven!

Some of the academic books that I loved reading in 2024!

A short list of some non-academic books I enjoyed reading in 2024, finished reading them, and still remember them! [a much bigger list includes those I abandoned either after a few pages, or half-way; those I didn't enjoy; those I don't remember; those I'm reading at the moment...).

Super interesting @sotonpolitics.bsky.social seminar, by @mikebankole.bsky.social!
