New study! The messages that American kids receive about immigrants are really mixed 😕 but kids who see and hear good things (e.g., online) are more open to including new immigrant peers in their own social circles 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 #devpsyc #socialpsyc doi.org/10.1016/j.ap...

With Daudi van Veen (@daudivanveen.nl), Lena-Emilia Schenker, and Lynn Weisscher, children drew what they think a scientist looks like — sometimes resembling Harry Potter 🧙🏽‍♀️ — and explored how to break stereotypes. Their message was clear: They want the university to be a place for everyone.

👽 “Everyone is welcome — yes, even aliens” 🦺 “No more dull, dusty white lab coats!” 🍕 “Beanbags everywhere, and pizza in the cafeteria” What does the university of the future look like? On behalf of KiDLAB and Lil’Scientist, we asked children this question at the lustrum of The Young Academy.
