We'll be looking at how phenomena at the societal level (from polarization to extreme inequality) reflect & shape psychological functioning. Stay tuned for research & events!

5 yrs ago, I emailed Jennifer Sheehy-Skeffington asking if she'd take me on as a PhD student. She rightly declined.
5yrs later, she is taking me on as a postdoc in Psychology in Political & Economic Systems (PIPES) lab at NYU Abu Dhabi (probably shouldn't have)!

Excellent study by @vukasin.bsky.social (2025) finds US liberals trust scientists more than conservatives across all fields. Despite generally high trust levels overall, the gap is largest for climatologists. 5 interventions failed to increase trust, suggesting attitudes resistant to interventions 🧪

Heightened psychopathy, cynicism, and threat perception linked to harassment of scientists
New research indicates that distrust in scientists, perceiving them as threats, and personality traits like narcissism and psychopathy contribute to the harassment of scientists.

In the past several years, and especially in the first few years of COVID-19, scientists have experienced harassment - from unwanted emails and doxxing to death threats and even lynching attempts. But who wants to harm scientists? Find out in our new paper just published in Scientific Reports! 🎉💥✨

This has to be the project filled with the most innocence and purity I've ever taken part in. It all started ab 6 years ago while we were still undergraduates and were starting our very first research project on analytic/intuitive thinking and conspiracy theories... 1/2
Analytic thinking is related to lower belief in conspiracies. So can analytic thinking decrease belief in conspiracy theories? We don’t really know, as the one set of studies in support of this does not seem to replicate.
