I don't usually jump into Twitter debates, but I'm ready to offer my 2 cents on the growth mindset meta-analyses. I've already seen comments that I agree with pointing out that growth mindsets aren't intended to be considered as an overall main effect; (1/n)
This was my thought as well - a huge confounding variable that the people who get paid for their mindset expertise are also the people with the deep, nuanced understanding to design interventions in complex contexts that are the most likely to "work," e.g., have a positive impact
If her studies work better than other people's, it's because she understands mindset theory better than anyone else. Tagging other mentees who can confirm: @AndreiCimpian @mcmpsych @olsonista @KaliTJames @catherinegood @davenuss79 @AneetaRattan @melismuradoglu @davepaunesku (end)

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.
The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.
Better choices instead of excuses.
Do you miss your college years or do you just miss living in a walkable community?
I LOVED working on this study - not only because of our amazing team, but because we found that a short, scalable video intervention improved the experience of people getting the COVID vaccine. And because the "immune system training" scene of our video was inspired by Mulan 🤩.
What if symptoms were a positive signal? Our latest study now out in @BehavioralMed shows that changing #mindsets about common #sideeffects of the covid19 vaccine can ⬆️ vaccine experience and ⬇️ vaccine hesitancy. A 🧵 (1/5)

A reminder that the best way to fight traffic is not with more roads, but with better alternatives to driving. Even taking away major highways often doesn't worsen traffic the way we think it will.
"as the week went on, people adjusted their travel behavior.”
READ: “Apocalyptic gridlock did not ensnare the Philadelphia area. Truck traffic did not come to a halt. In fact, more people rode the train or took alternate routes and life marched on.”
Sound surprising? Actually, it’s not surprising at all.

The fees charged to scientists to make our taxpayer-funded research open access. These fees are charged by a company that makes more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year.

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…
And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0
My favorite part of this is if this happened in synagogue on the High Holidays...everyone in my family would be LOSING THEIR MIND excited about the matchmaking potential

My husband wrote a fake book proposal that contains instructions for taking care of me while I'm writing my book. My favorite line: "There is a very high chance that if you have followed these steps, the beautiful genius that you have married will do something amazing!"

Bicycling in 🇩🇰Copenhagen revolutionized my 🇺🇸American mind. In Copenhagen, I saw an efficient & safe transportation system that is not centered upon the car. I am told over and over again by Americans that is impossible in the US - but it’s only impossible in the American mind.
Sometimes I forget how much cycling is a part of the Danish society. I got a letter today with a stamp of a cargo bike. It is not perfect here, but this is probably the best stamp in the world. 😉 🚲❤️ #cycling @CyclingEmbassy @EuCyclistsFed
We need to protect winter or we will lose the parts of winter that are the most magical and the most joyful. If you want to get involved in the US, check out @ProtectWinters movement.
