You can also find our studies about adults’ perception of sick faces in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity: doi.org/10.1016/j.bb...

Great question! We (@soccoglab.bsky.social) are interested in how humans respond to faces of people who are feeling sick with a contagious disease. Over several studies, we've discovered that children and adults recognize and avoid people who are sick just by looking at pictures of "sick faces."

Thanks, Willow! My work focuses on faces of people with acute contagious diseases (e.g., COVID-19). We’re always looking for more #SelfiesForScience if you or anyone you know is every feeling sick! umiami.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
