Feeling really sad with the news of #Zomi Frankcom's death

She was an old friend. A founding member of the Beh Sci team at #CommBank . She had a big heart, constantly looking to serve others and do good.

𝚁𝚊𝚏𝚊𝚎𝚕 𝙼 𝙱𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊 Everlane J.Crew In Europe it is illegal to opt anyone into any mailing list they haven't actively subscribed to. Here it's like a jungle, every time you purchase something you have to unsubscribe again as if they've magically forgotten your preferences. I miss EU regulation! 🇪🇺😂

Biased perception of debt—we tend to ignore others’ debt when evaluating their wealth—tends to perpetuate the ‘Keeping Up with the Joneses’ effect, research by 𝚁𝚊𝚏𝚊𝚎𝚕 𝙼 𝙱𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊 & co suggests: buff.ly/3OfdhD1

It's the #SJDM conference and I am not there, so my contribution is to start a JDM dictionary. Please add further entries! Richard H Thaler Katy Milkman Peter Ayton Abby Sussman Suzanne Shu George Wu 𝚁𝚊𝚏𝚊𝚎𝚕 𝙼 𝙱𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊 Eric J. Johnson Carey Morewedge

A good research question is a big step towards interesting findings—exhibit A: can people tell, just by observing someone’s movements, what they are trying to learn? Ingenious research by @sholeicroom et a suggests the answer is yes: buff.ly/3SYwHjr

I find myself reluctant to shop at certain places because I don't want to deal with their barrage of promotional emails

Everlane & J.Crew both come to mind. Shopped there, got a ton of emails, #unsubscribed , shopped again & now back on their mailing list

𝚁𝚊𝚏𝚊𝚎𝚕 𝙼 𝙱𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊 Sana Saeed The Associated Press That’s a really useful article and it was helpful to learn. I think it’s also important (and the article can’t say this directly) to remind ourselves that the WH knows the data is pretty good and are engaging in propoganda to facilitate genocide

💯Also applies when reaching out to phd students! I've learned from 𝚁𝚊𝚏𝚊𝚎𝚕 𝙼 𝙱𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊 to ask prospectives to email their Qs first, and if I can't sufficiently answer via email then we can meet. Fewer than 20% follow up. If you cant write your Qs then rethink whether a mtg is necessary

𝚁𝚊𝚏𝚊𝚎𝚕 𝙼 𝙱𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚊 William Mailer Gah! I missed out on this again this year…one day I promise!
