Ashley Ruba, PhD Precisely! It’s a job, and I work to live. It isn’t a hobby. For the academics that give me this crappy advice, you need to sit with the fact that this mentality comes from a place of privilege.

'Graduate students need more quantitative methods support', a Comment by Andrea L. Howard (Dr. Andrea Howard) Web: go.nature.com/3wouNQ8 PDF: rdcu.be/dyP0y

The US just issued its 3rd veto in 137 days of genocide to continue it. Against the will of 153 states which invoked Uniting for Peace twice. Against the extraordinary invocation of Art 99 by the UNSG. Against the ICJ ruling finding plausible genocide & a duty to prevent it

🚨WP🚨 We test 9 online samples and find clear tradeoffs between attentiveness and representativeness - which sample is best depends on research q and priorities. For social/political qs I rec Bovitz/Lucid, for complex designs I rec Cloud/Prolific. osf.io/preprints/psya…

The Society for Personality and Social Psychology statements truly just keep getting worse and worse … read: “sorry the Islamophobia was not methodologically rigorous enough”🙄

New from my wonderful colleagues Angela Y. Lee @RyanMooreComm: Digital media literacy interventions designed for communities of color improved literacy skills, but only those recruited via community outreach improved their ability to detect misinformation doi.org/10.1177/146144…

Can we fight fake news without leaving people behind? In a new paper in Current Opinion in Psychology, I argue that current interventions may benefit the users who see the least misinformation to begin with. 1/8 tinyurl.com/mtr3y4hr

Do Community Notes reduce the spread of false information? Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: Yes, but... A 🧵  arxiv.org/abs/2404.02803

Shame on Emory's administration.

One of the more surreal experiences I’ve had in academics tbh. Faculty just wanted to deliver a letter to the chancellor, he wouldn’t come out and instead admin locked the doors, snuck out the back, and then apparently called security. triton.news/2024/05/ucsd-f…

This is personal for me — riot police arrested and beat some of my students. I would still welcome a chance to talk to admin, as a professor who visited the encampment and as a scientist whose research balances safety and protected first amendment rights triton.news/2024/05/ucsd-f…

PhD Mentorship Programs 🧵: Applying to graduate school in psychology is a highly personal process, and in my opinion, no amount of resources can replace 1:1 #mentorship. Luckily, there are several ongoing programs for students seeking this type of support. (1/8)

When we as scientists have a platform to speak to the general public on a topic as scientists, then scientific standards of evidence must still hold. My opinions on art are just some dude's opinions on art, my opinions on psychology and human behavior are professional opinions.

🫨 super excited to talk about my poster with Kip and Nadia Brashier tonight at #psynom24!!!!

Why do people react so differently to being left out? 💔 Check out my #scicomm article for Psyche Magazine on how #ostracism affects us and what drives our varied responses: reaching out, backing out, or lashing out. Read here: psyche.co/ideas/why-bein… #Psychology
