Rather than submitting papers to (or reviewing for) Frontiers journals, consider these alternatives:
-PLOS
-Collabra
-eLife
-OpenMind
I’d like to add something else to this convo: many of people who qualify for permanent residency in the United States would no longer qualify if they went home — because their existing visa is on the basis of refugee status (fear of home) or a job they’d lose.
Like it’s absurd at every level.
Adding pointless administrative burdens to deter legal immigration
Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised.
No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.
I'll be recruiting PhD students (2027 entry) and a postdoc to join the lab at Berkeley.
Interests:
• continuous person perception in interactive contexts
• impression management and its biases
• social perception in digital spaces
Get in touch if there's overlap.
Very excited for this next chapter!

danah boyd recently argued that social media (as we knew it) is mostly dead; what we have now is parasocial media: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
I agree. Networked social media is disappearing, replaced by a new logic/structure of content creator, creator-centered community, & algorithm.
