I strongly urge people to support @DataColada — investigating scientific claims and data fraud is incredibly important for a healthy and trustworthy science. It’s horrifying to me that these rigorous scientific investigations (that were independently confirmed) could lead to a
My twitter feed is full of people supporting Data Colada against a $25 million dollar lawsuit from Francesca Gino when they blew the whistle on her data fraud. At the exact same time Harvard Business Review is promoting an article from Gino about how “speaking up” is dangerous!

Can't believe this work w/ Anita Tusche is *finally* out. https://t.co/DG1yaz5bW5. We find evidence accumulation (not self-control) may better explain why dlPFC activates for generous v. selfish and healthy v. unhealthy choices. Thanks @Todd_A_Hare & @HPlassmann for sharing data!

A computational model of decision making suggests that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex's role in self-control is more associated with evidence accumulation processes than with inhibition or...

So excited this work by the incomparable @iandavidroberts is now out at Psych Science! https://t.co/RHIX9xoVZ1 We show that previous findings that framing effects increase under time pressure may not be evidence of dual systems, but of prioritized eye gaze and attention!

Decades of research have established the ubiquity and importance of choice biases, such as the framing effect, yet why these seemingly irrational behaviors occu...

Some over-speculation (forgive me, please): this may be one reason why self-control is often only effective in the short-term - it’s not suppressing the underlying valuation of taste, just changing how it’s used in the moment.

Excited this work by the amazing @Azadeh_HH is now in press! https://t.co/J4JJJY3B4j. We use modeling to dissociate neural signals of early taste attribute representations & later evidence accumulation, then show that self regulation changes the latter but not the former.

Alpha oscillations represent an intermediate stage of evidence accumulation that is influenced by self-regulation in value-based decision making.

As faculty, childhood SES is mostly invisible. You can blend in and when people find out, they celebrate that you overcame and that you "escaped" and in some ways you did, but in other ways, you never do. There can be this sense that you have challenges your peers don't (1)

Read this thread if you want to spend a minute feeling love and delight
With all the loneliness out there, I wanted to share a love story about two people I've never met. The story begins with a book, and that book begins: "There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it." 1/Thread.
