I have to admit I was kind of heartbroken that Nolan cut so many of my favorite parts of The Odyssey. It was still decent, but I felt a real missed opportunity for magic, and those moments could have helped.

In our latest @HarvardBiz , @RachelSchlund & I argue that obtaining true informed consent requires more than locking in a signature or verbal agreement & that organizations willing to prioritize transparency and clarity over mere compliance reap benefits.

A “real” yes? Even when an agreement meets the legal criteria for consent, individuals may not feel they’ve truly given consent, which can have serious consequences in the workplace, according to new @cornellilr research. @profbohns @sciencedirect news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

New paper on informed consent! I’m so proud of this work led by @RachelSchlund. We show that regardless of how clueless WE feel about the terms we agree to when signing a contract or clicking accept, others assume we knew what we were getting into. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I have learned so much more today from the responses to the posts that have *asked* people why they voted for Trump/didn't vote for Harris than the posts electionsplaining why people voted for Trump instead of Harris.
