Great stuff! Is there a non-paywalled version please?

Now out in JPSP! Behavioral economic experiments w/ Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and Jews in the U.S., Israel and Fiji show that belief in God can facilitate cooperation, even across religious divides!

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...

Who needs fancy R packages for graphs, when you can plot them in the sand? Many thanks to @martinlangcz.bsky.social for teaching today's class at our field school in Mauritius

This highlights the point that comparisons between humans and machines are continually muddied by a lack of distinction between evolution and development, both of which contribute to learning in the broad sense.

Post-doc opportunities in religious cognition don't come up too often these days, but here's a good one in the Czech Republic with @martinlangcz.bsky.social www.muni.cz/en/about-us/...

Global scientists that apply for an ERC to relocated to the EU+UK can now apply for 2m + the ERC (which is 1.5, 2, or 2.5) + startup for large facilities (another potential 0.5). Chance of getting it isnt astronomical but with a resume and plan worth a try! Good time to spend a ~decade in the EU?

Can religious beliefs shape peoples' attitudes and behaviours regarding climate change?

We explored this using data from a large-scale UK cohort study (ALSPAC)

In short: Perhaps, but it's complicated. Answer depends on generation, religiosity measure and climate question

Yes, we used them for both kids, liked that they are unscented

Frankly, that was one of the most surprising thing when I moved to the US 10 years ago. I asked my landlords for an account number to send them rent and they had no idea what I mean

If you want to understand why we do the things we do, being trained in cross-cultural and evolutionary perspectives is a pretty good start 😊 excellent thread from CCE's @abbeyepage.bsky.social on our MSc in Psychology, Culture & Evolution, now accepting applications 👇

Sorry no PhD positions at the moment, but thanks for your interest!
