Hello, Bluesky! ⛅️

Excited to share my new paper w/ Ike Silver and Alex Shaw accepted at JEP:Applied (postprint: psyarxiv.com/r9kag)!

This is Red. He is gentle and extremely devoted. Nine years ago, I rescued him and his siblings as tiny kittens near the railroad tracks.

If you're new here, I cordially invite you to post a pet pic. Or several.
