Have you heard of the halo effect? It describes your tendency to assume if someone is pretty or funny or smart, they're more likely to have other good attributes. Sometimes "halos" exist, but often the halo effect is a bias. Learn more from @danielmabuse:.

A heat wave is currently baking half of the U.S. Research on the "local warming effect" shows that today (more so than other days), people facing extreme heat will be be more prone to believe in global warming and more willing to donate to charities that tackle climate change.

Ever heard of the hedonic editing hypothesis? The idea is that we can live happier lives if we deliberately spread out good experiences while trying to combine bad ones. And it's the topic of our season finale of #Choiceology featuring Prof. @squig.

I've never been big on school swag, but today my husband & I decided to order some hats from @Harvard (where we earned our PhDs) to broadcast our support. When the @Harvard store wrote to say our shipment will be delayed due to huge surge in orders, I was pleased! #GladToWait.

Do you think the current # of children who die from cancer each year is about right? If so, go ahead: support the attack on research universities + @Harvard specifically. A wonderful piece from @sapinker defending an imperfect but valuable institution.

Have you heard of left-digit bias? It’s our tendency to focus on the left-most digit of numbers, and it helps explain why a product on sale for $9.99 feels like a bargain compared to a product on sale for $10. Learn more on #Choiceology with @Devin_G_Pope!.

It was a huge treat to belatedly celebrate 2020 @Wharton PhD grad Edward Chang this weekend. Edward is now an @Harvard Professor but missed the chance to be hooded in 2020 due to Covid. I loved having the chance to hood him this year and am so proud of the amazing scholar he’s
