Academic friends, help us spread the word about this event by retweeting and sharing with your RAs, lab managers, and other students. 4/4

Many of our faculty panelists are looking to accept students this cycle (@brialong.bsky.social@adenaschachner.bsky.social@nadiabrashier.bsky.social to name a few), so it’s a chance to hear from them before you apply! Come spend two days learning about our program! We can’t wait to meet you! 3/4

Our event is open to all prospective students but was created for URM applicants. Coming from a #FGLI background myself, I wanted to organize an event to give prospective students resources to apply to graduate school and an inside look at the admissions process. 2/4

These findings suggest that vicarious emotions are rich sources of information about others and, like adults, children use them to make social evaluations. I love doing science with @lindseypowell.bsky.social & Gabe Bonamy! Send us your thoughts and comments, we’re eager to discuss! [4/4]

Children also negatively evaluated empathizers of immoral actions, but still inferred they were friends with the target of their empathy, suggesting children are sensitive to the context of vicarious emotions and not just the emotion itself. [3/4]

Children, overall, more positively evaluated empathizers than less empathic others, except when the counter-empathizer helped the target and the empathizer did not. Though older children weighed these cues more closely than younger children. [2/4]

I can only think of this paper from Sandy Waxman's lab, but may be helpful! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Or biggest advocate? I’m not sure what fits here.
