Some of you may have seen Elon Musk's endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s crazy antivax conspiracy theories today.

Over at post.news, I just posted a long-form piece about this, and about how science education needs to adapt to online disinformation.

Please a look. If you like it, boost it there or here or — if you dare — over on the birdsite.

Sue Watt speaking about tracking community attitudes towards a refugee settlement in Armidale over 4 years. in general, it's positive. fascinating data, that suggest over time the community is a welcoming place for those settling from other places #sasp2022

Dr Lydia Woodyatt opens #SASP2022 social psychology in the wild session with a reminder of the value of #HDR & #postgraduates outside of #academia:
'The skills you have as graduates are really valued & there are lots of opportunities 'out there'. It takes curiosity to find them.'

let's hope we all arrive in one piece for the 50th anniversary of #sasp2022 in Adelaide, Australia. it's been 3.5 years since the last conference, so am looking forward to seeing everyone there.

New study interviews UK university students and finds “both support and lack of support for meritocracy are strategies used by disadvantaged groups to navigate and cope with the lack of opportunities and socioeconomic disadvantages in [higher education].”
