I wish there was a repository for people to share stories! Someone set up a shared google doc when one of my undergraduate mentors, Jeff Farrar, passed away, and it was lovely to read so many stories over the years.

Flavell seemed like a brilliant but also kind person.

It is amazing how often children seem to revise their beliefs about fantastical characters to make them seem more logical within our world!

Yes! @thaliargoldstein.bsky.social and I will probably submit it for review in January. Thalia will be first author on that one, but please feel free to reach out to either of us via email about it.

I'd love to hear more about your paper/book!

Thanks for mentioning our "Debunking the Santa Myth" paper! This was a fun read. @thaliargoldstein.bsky.social and I have also been working on a study with parents about "lying" about Santa. Perhaps not surprisingly, there's a lot of variability in how acceptable parents view statements about Santa.
