I focus on #pubic perceptions of #science and #scientists, #SciComm in #DigitalMedia, #norms of science #communication, #trust in science as well as #skepticism, #hostility, and #criticism towards science – for example, in the context of #ClimateChange, #vaccination, or #GMOs 🥵 💉 🌽
So far, most of my research has centered on “science-related #populism”… 🔬

Hi Mastodon! I'm Candice, a professor of #developmental #psychology at UT Dallas. I study children's #thinking and #learning.
Much of my research examines the development of #skepticism: how children come to recognize limits of their own knowledge as well as limits of claims made by others.
