For a PhD, you need to be a romantic at some level. Your papers will get rejected. Your ideas will get scooped. All while you peers flourish. And yes--It will sting. 2023 was one such year for me. Yet I call it my golden year, because that’s when I truly fell in love with my

https://t.co/iohZYB50Sp My article on phantom costs is now officially published. We found that people imagine hidden costs when someone offers a deal "too good to be true". Moreover, paying someone too much can backfire--making them less likely to buy than if you paid less.

A model for the rest of us to follow. It's time we stopped losing out on opportunities to go share our science with the international community due to visa issues. Let's bring some major cogsci/neuro conferences to Asia!
Bringing international conferences to the global south empowers many more. Thanks to all who made @Behaviour2025 possible. Fantastic talks, meeting old friends, interacting with so many students and meeting @toshitaka_szk in India was the highlight for me. #Behaviour

When we die, our atoms do not vanish into mystery. They return to the Earth, becoming part of the soil, the air, and the water that sustain life. Guided by entropy, they break apart and scatter, only to be gathered again into new forms of life. Nothing is truly lost; the matter
