    🚨 New in @PNASNews 🚨 We find that people see more of their #biases in #algorithms' decisions than in their own #decisions, even when algorithms are trained on their decisions and when those decisions are the same. 1/n pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

    Off to your first conference this fall? #PhdAdvice 1. Every talk is a job talk. 2. Introduce yourself! (Your heroes aren't THAT famous.) 3. It's work, not a party. 4. Business causal attire. 5. Make an impression you're proud of. 6. If you're harassed, report it.

    Ok, now I'm emboldened. More unsolicited #sciencewriting advice. Today's is on titles. The words in your title are the most important words in your manuscript. The title is seen when people do a google scholar search, and it determines whether ppl read your paper, so... 1/6

    Corrections, often misinterpreted as criticism, are a sign that your advisor/collaborator cares about you and your work.
    Note to mentors: remember to warn new mentees that this👇is normal. Although I’m totally used to seeing my work come back to me like this (one of my old grants), it can be shocking the first time. I forgot to warn a new grad student and regrettably caused a lot of distress 🤦‍♀️

    New paper in @TrendsCognSci: People don't exhibit a domain-general #algorithm aversion. People are (positively) biased in evaluations of self and other humans in domains where their identity can be threatened and evaluative criteria are ambiguous. #AI authors.elsevier.com/a/1fXVP4sIRvLY…

    It's a sad day for behavioral science. I am grateful to Danny Kahneman for teaching me to use vision as a model of judgment. I admire his tenacity in the pursuit of knowledge. And I thank him for making possible my love, family, and life with @profcikara.
    Many of you will share tributes today to Danny Kahneman, highlighting how he informed your work or paved the way for your career, and so on. Today I would like to honor DK for financing my relationship and eventual marriage to @morewedge (1/n)

    New in @NatureHumBehav. People don't use #medical #AI because #algorithms' decisions are a black box. But also because people overestimate their understanding of human medical decision making, of which they have similarly little understanding. nature.com/articles/s4156…
