#PMIG2025 and #SESP2025 were great: inspiring talks, plenty of time for networking, and taking place in beautiful Lisbon.
Hopefully the two conferences will continue to take place in Europe from time to time..? 😇

Ratings are relative - we judge a 5’ 7” woman to be “taller” than a 5’ 7” man. The same is true for social judgments - a woman who interrupts is seen as more assertive than a man.
Subjective ratings like this can “mask” stereotypes (stereotype = women are LESS assertive!)

Mainstream media’s coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict is biased in at least three ways:
Bias #1: Individualized vs group-level narratives
Bias #2: False balance
Bias #3: Differential doubt casting

Is unconscious bias real? @davidamodio.bsky.social points out critiques (people are aware of “implicit bias”) rely on semantics. In experiments, people have biased priors, which leads to biased “learning” (noticing stereotype-consistent info)…and. They aren’t aware and can’t suppress it. #PMIG2025
