Helpful review of four types of interventions targeting misinformation at the individual level (boosting, nudging, debunking, and automated content labeling). No magic solutions, here. I suspect a combination of individual- and system-level efforts are necessary. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Psychologists, apply! Apparently we've mainly gotten CS applicants so far. I'd (selfishly) love to have a psychologist. Interests in AI in relation to e.g., implicit bias; cultural influences; fairness; perception; learning & memory; decision making etc. would be a good fit!

Really interesting listen on the impacts of FDA cuts on the safety of drinking milk. TLDR: not risky, but potential long-term consequences for our food safety system in the US. #rawmilk #scicomm #birdflu

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced questions from lawmakers in a pair of hearings Wednesday and did not directly answer whether he would vaccinate his own children against chicken pox and polio. He paused before answering, “Probably.”

How does the EPA know a pesticide is safe to use in my yard?

The EPA must evaluate both the risks and the benefits of each pesticide – and revisit that analysis at least every 15 years for every pesticide used in the U.S. An agricultural science professor explains the process: buff.ly/4HJim9h
