“If I go to a hotel and there’s one tree, I will sometimes move my bed around so I can just be there and see the tree. A little bird comes on the palm tree outside the window. I like it.” Jane Goodall She showed us that science rooted in empathy can reshape how we see the planet

My new blog on Gender and Competitiveness: Changing the Rules Matters | Psychology Today

Research shows the gender gap in competitiveness isn’t about talent — it’s about systems built around a narrow definition of success that favors male-coded traits.

Our new research in PNAS! Kids who do better in school also coordinate better in complex games like Hawk–Dove and Battle of the Sexes. Academic achievement seems to reflect broader strategic + social abilities. https://t.co/zmMaD1lVxC

Hosted PJ Healy (OSU) at the ECON 693 Seminar! He presented work on the efficacy of Multiple Price Lists and Binarized Scoring Rules in eliciting true beliefs, finding they led to minimal misrepresentation. #econtwitter #behavioralecon #academia #Academictwitter #USC #USCEcon

Also hosted Shachar Kariv (UC Berkeley) at the ECON 693 Seminar! He spoke about violations of expected utility, providing evidence that it may originate from violations of monotonicity and transitivity! #econtwitter #behavioralecon #academia #Academictwitter #USC #USCEcon

The Path to Strategic Unpredictability! How do kids & teens develop the skill to be unpredictable? Turns out, they do randomize—but not well -- and adults are not better at it! https://t.co/EiUAO15tNa

Unpredictability, rooted in evolution, remains key today. A study shows that children grasp randomization basics, yet full mastery remains elusive, even as they grow older.
