✒️ Write! All! The! Things! The Social Psych Lab got together this week for our 2nd writing retreat. 🤓 We head to the mountains, surrounded by a gorgeous scenery... and then try to ignore it and focus on our laptops! We write, we hike, we cook, we play Trial By Trolley... we repeat!

At our #LabMeeting yesterday, we got to listen to @fannylalot.bsky.social from the University of Basel, who presented her interesting research on the influence of future consciousness on political engagement!✨✨ #SocialPsy #Socialidentity #HelpingKidsLab #Lab #Research #Developmentalpsychology

"A lot of the crazy things that keep happening in the world actually can make a lot of sense once you start seeing it through that lens – people get in groups and then they do weird stuff." Yeah that's what you get when you force me to face a camera 😅 #socialpsych #psychology #AcademicSky
