My lab (u.osu.edu/spal/) and Ken Fujita’s lab (u.osu.edu/fujita/) at OSU are hiring a joint lab manager (a full-time postgraduate researcher) to start this summer! Come work in two incredibly fun labs in a thriving social psychology department. Application and more information soon to come!

I had the opportunity to present Study 1 of my thesis at Texas Christian University’s Student Research Syposium this past week! Fun fact: I did not meet a single person that identified as a “time affluent” individual! Definitely a curse of the academic life. #socialpsych #existentialpsychology

Come join the 2027 SPSP Misinformation & Belief Science Preconference Committee! You would serve for 3 years: 1 as Future Co-Chair, 1 as Co-Chair (Cameron Kay and Sze Yuh Nina Wang), and 1 as Past Co-Chair (me & @jgranadossamayoa.bsky.social).
