In work recently out in Affective Science we investigated how accurately people can forecast their emotions in everyday life. Study 1 focused on forecasts for specific time periods (tomorrow, next week). Study 2 focused on forecasts for daily unpleasant events. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Perspective:
Open-ended responses can improve ESM data by grounding it in real-world experiences and phenomena as they are experienced in everyday life. Handbooks and guidelines on ESM should include sections on collecting and analyzing open-ended text items.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once
I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊
Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.
It’s linked on our lab website if anyone wants to check it out! Along with several other papers by Alix MacVittie who is investigating all things subjective body awareness!

Pokémon Go is still a reliable standby for my 9yo who got into it with her (70+yo) grandma during the pandemic. The number of times having a Pokémon game/index on my phone has been a life saver is wild!

** Recruiting a postdoc ** We are looking for a postdoc to work on emotion, mental health, and interoception, based in London at @ucl.ac.uk in my lab (Clinical and Affective Neuroscience). Part of a large Wellcome Grant (co-led with the brilliant @camillanord.bsky.social)

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.
Just heard from someone who had a 1% grant not funded through NIMH.
Why?
Perhaps no payline for 2026?
2025 all full up?
Unclear. But totally bonkers and indicative of the complete gutting of the NIH/NIMH senior and grants processing peeps.
The ones who remain are working so hard.

My former institution Colby College is hiring a tenure track in intergroup relations, broadly defined & open to many psych areas (not just social). This is my replacement line. I truly enjoyed my time at Colby and it's a great dept! Happy to answer Qs if I can.

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.
I just posted the same video in response to this 😂 My partner and I reference this skit more often than I’d like to admit

We got what I believe to be close to a "perfect" NSF score after our first submission--three "Excellent" reviews, highly competitive. The only minor weakness was that we could reduce our budget. It won't be funded. There is no path forward. I'm devastated.
Quite a long read, but super important - recognising the assumptions we make in psych research is something more of us should do🫣
