I included a parsing question in my Cognitive exam. The sentences featured pirates and mermaids, and encouraged students to include illustrations to help explain their answer -
More than 50 students included drawings 🥹

while sadly none of my students took up my offer of writing me a haiku ab Cognition on the back of their cheat-sheet for their final essay exam, one DID write "One of my favorite classes at Harvard and helped my love for Psych grow!" 🥰 I'll take it! Fuel for the grading trenches. #PsychSciSky

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."
Pq democratizar a arte não é toda pessoa ter um desenho bonitinho feito em segundos, democratizar arte é toda pessoa ter tempo e saúde pra aprender e produzir arte se quiser mas principalmente ter condição pra pensar e se relacionar com arte com introspecção.

Really happy to have contributed a chapter to this epic collection, and excited to see it finally almost out!
The Oxford Handbook of Language & Prejudice, edited by Jane Setter, Sender Dovchin, and yours truly, rearticulates and expands upon the connections between language and prejudice.

I won't highlight them all, but here's an obvious one:
"The literature review is thorough but could be more focused. Some references (e.g., classic Piagetian theories of childhood play) seem tangential to the primary argument and could be condensed"
We simply don't reference these theories.

New model shows dogs could have domesticated themselves
They may have been drawn to the discarded remains from ancient human meals, and a new model shows tame wolves could have become dogs in as little as 8,000 years.
