It was great to present some of my PhD research today in the Intergroup Relations session - thanks so much to everyone that came along & to those that asked some really cool questions!! . #SASP2023 / #ACPID2023

had a great time, as usual, at #sasp2023! nobody reminded me to take pictures to commemorate said great time, so i leave you with @EdenVClarke's incredible model, my favourite slide of the weekend from @jamesnewton87, and me trying to figure out where the noosa vintage shop is.

Thrilled to discuss our work on understanding pain in others at the Compassion, Empathy & Prosocial Behaviour symposium during #SASP2023 #ACPID2023 ✨The rest of today’s talks were fascinating! Also, big kudos for the availability of vegan options💚 @SASPoutreach @ACPIDCongress
