Thanks @columbiamag for doing a deep-dive on our work!
Subconsciously, we all make snap judgments about people based on their facial features. A recent study by @Columbia psychologists unmasks the perceptual biases that shape our impressions of one another. magazine.columbia.edu/article/what-y…
Good times with past & present lab at SPSP 🌴 @margauxwienk @SamAWKlein @Gabriel35193931 @jahchwe @dongwon_oh @HennaVartiainen @SPSPnews Soon to be AI-ed in: @HehmanLab @MBMeshar @Youngki
New in @PsychScience led by Youngki Hong: Facial stereotypes (e.g., trustworthiness) lead to consequential biases in criminal sentencing, hiring, and politics. We show these biases can be eliminated via a training that dismantles the associations. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… (1/6)
Now that large-scale piloting of LGBTQ+ questions for national surveys of the scientific workforce is finally underway, @TravisYork at @AAAS and I have asked @NSF to consider making crucial information about these efforts available to the public. PDF: shorturl.at/ghkz9
New work in SPPS led by Youngki Hong: The dimensional structure of face impressions shifts across group boundaries, and this goes above and beyond mere ingroup favoritism. Ingroup facial dominance = trustworthy, outgroup facial dominance = untrustworthy. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19…
My lab has 1-2 open postdoc positions for September 2024 (or earlier)! We study person perception, bias and stereotyping, social categorization, emotion, and other topics using fMRI, behavior, and computational modeling. Non-neuro or neuro focus welcome. freemanlab.org/postdocs2024
NSF is conducting mass piloting of LGBTQ+ questions on college graduates & PhDs, on target to produce the first official statistics on LGBTQ+ representation in STEM in 2026. This would ensure equity via data-driven policies & benefit science for all. (1/2)news.columbia.edu/news/national-…
Excited to present my first lead-author paper with @freemanjb, published in SPPS! We find that people perceive trustworthiness from groups of faces in a half second. Link: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19…
Registration is now open! Join us for a FREE, first-of-its-kind symposium & think tank on the inclusion & advancement of LGBTQ+ people in STEM at @AAAS in DC on May 30, featuring policymakers, researchers, community members, @NSF, @NIH, & @WHOSTP. eventbrite.com/e/inclusion-an…
Save the date! We'll be hosting a first-of-its-kind symposium & think tank on the inclusion & advancement of LGBTQ+ people in STEM at @aaas in DC. Join us for the symposium as we bring together policymakers, researchers, & community members on May 30. 🏳️🌈 bit.ly/3UcT0Au
If you're going to #SPSP2023, check out presentations by @freemanlab folks, including @youngkidhong, @jahchwe, @MBMeshar, and @dongwon_oh! Details below. @SPSPnews
Thank you @ScienceMagazine for the coverage and @k_langin for tracking this issue for 5 years now lnkd.in/eCmt2cuX
1700 scientists, including me, have signed a letter by @freemanjb calling for the @NSF to include questions regarding #LGBTQ orientation to enact data-driven policies to improve equity in science. Let's see some change. 🏳️🌈🥼🧪 nature.com/articles/d4158… #queerinSTEM #LGBTQinSTEM
🚨SIGN-ON: NSF is refusing to move forward with collecting LGBTQ+ data on its national STEM workforce surveys to ensure the equity of LGBTQ+ scientists. It has made its final decision. Please sign this open letter to the NSF Director and share widely! docs.google.com/document/d/1qW…
Update: @NSF is making a decision now whether or not to collect LGBTQ+ data on the US STEM workforce. After years of delays, it completed a pilot with n=7,800. There weren’t any issues. The scientific community can’t improve a problem it refuses to measure.nature.com/articles/d4158…
Thrilled to announce @AAAS & I have secured a $2M award to improve LGBTQ+ disparities in STEM! We'll work with U.S. universities to transition them to legal & ethical sexual orientation & gender identity data collection to create transformative change in LGBTQ+ equity in STEM.
📣 News 📣: AAAS is pleased to announce three awards totaling nearly $20M from @NSF, @SloanFoundation, and Tiger Global Impact Ventures to drive inclusivity in #STEM. fal.cn/3tDZC
I am so thrilled to be a part of this brilliant, collaborative lab and work on some cool science! Especially grateful for my time at @nyuniversity with @freemanlab
We've been delighted to welcome our newest lab member, @amishavyas_, to @SCRAP_Lab & @DartmouthPBS this month! Amisha joins us as lab manager, having just graduated from @NYUPsych, where she did an award-winning senior thesis w/ @freemanlab. We're so excited to work with her!
Congratulations to @freemanjb, our 2022 @SANS_news Early Career Award Winner and @EACrone, our 2022 @SANS_news Distinguished Scholar Award Winner!
Job alert 🚨 We’re hiring a lab manager for my lab at Columbia starting Fall 2022! We study the cognitive and neural mechanisms involved in person perception, emotion, social decision-making, stereotyping/bias, social vision, & other phenomena. Link: freemanlab.org/labmanager2022
