They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Great news before my winter holidays. I am honored and excited to join the @csh.ac.at as an external faculty member. Besides continuing to work at the wonderful @ddc-sdu.bsky.social (we hire, just say'in :-)) I will also be in Vienna from time to time and work with the amazing folks at both places.
We have a new paper in Science today on how malicious AI swarms can threaten democracy.

Trust in others and institutions predicts subjective well-being and vice versa. This makes me even more attuned to the costs of people and systems that undermine trust. The decay of trust as a public health issue. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1037/bul0...

1) those groups (women, African Americans, lower SES, rural) that are underrepresented in science have been less trusting of science.
