#CalBigGive is live NOW! 🐻 We have 11 hours to raise $10,000 and unlock our matching gift. Whether it's $5 or $50, your support fuels groundbreaking research and our amazing students. Double your impact here: givingday.berkeley.edu/giving-day/108…
Did you know experiencing awe can boost your happiness? @BerkeleyPsych Prof. Dacher Keltner joined @Oprah on her podcast to discuss this idea in his new book “Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life.” Watch here: bit.ly/3MoAm9m
I'm happy to now be able to share a talk I gave at @TEDxNewEngland last Fall! The talk is about our lab's work on what makes decisions costly, and how to make them less so. I discuss lessons for all kinds of decisions, including getting people to vote. youtube.com/watch?v=zeHg1r…
science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Excited to share our new paper in @ScienceAdvances ! We report a novel phenomenon in motor control: your current movement is repelled away from your previous one. Modeling suggests this repulsion reflects efficient coding in motor planning.
Excited to share that our paper "Continuous affect tracking reveals that overestimation during the recollection of affect is idiosyncratic and stable" is out now in @ARVOJOV ! doi.org/10.1167/jov.25… A short thread on the findings below 👇🏽📷(1/7)
🤩 Congratulations to Dacher Keltner, @UCBerkeley psychologist, who recently received a lifetime achievement award from the Association for Psychological Science 🏆 Read more >> bit.ly/4nPcrwR @BerkeleyPsych

📷 Celebrate Oski’s 84th with a gift to Berkeley Psychology! Your support powers fellowships that free grad students to focus on transformative research—from mental health to neuroscience to inclusive communities. Help us unlock an extra $500: givingday.berkeley.edu/giving-day/106…
📷 Berkeley Psychology grad students are breaking new ground—exploring treatments for anxiety & depression, decision-making, and building inclusive communities. This Oski’s Birthday, your gift helps fuel their research! Give today: givingday.berkeley.edu/giving-day/106…
📷 Tomorrow kicks off Oski’s 84th Birthday celebration! Support Berkeley Psychology grad students as they push boundaries in research on mental health, decision-making & inclusive communities. Join us Sept 17–19: givingday.berkeley.edu/giving-day/106…
Mental health treatments often fall short because of 2 simple reasons: our memories are flawed + forming new habits is hard. @BerkeleyPsych Prof. Allison Harvey suggests that small changes, like text reminders, could improve patient outcomes. Learn more: bit.ly/4mGMmj4
