As Professor Clark notes: "Understanding how we communicate with each other is fundamental to human interaction. These ideas about identity and behaviour are relevant to all of us throughout our lives." 🧵5/5

💡 Building on relevance theory and 'fast and frugal heuristics', this work has significant practical applications for improving communication skills, informing teaching materials, and helping students feel more confident in their interactions. 🧵4/5

🔬 Using experimental studies and stimulated recall techniques, the research will map people's imagined communication effects against actual outcomes - revealing the real-time decision-making that shapes how we express ourselves. 🧵3/5

🧠 Professor Clark's two-year fellowship will investigate the mental processes behind everyday conversation - exploring how we decide to communicate in particular ways and how we evaluate what others really mean when they speak to us. 🧵2/5

The findings were recently presented at the @europlanetmedia.bsky.social EPSC-DPS2025 Joint Meeting in Helsinki, where over 2,000 planetary scientists gathered. This discovery showcases Northumbria's world-leading space research! 🚀

This represents 20+ years of planetary science work, building on Prof Stallard's NASA Cassini mission contributions. JWST is providing unprecedented insights into Saturn's upper atmosphere - one of the least understood regions in our solar system.
