Welcome
Researching, Teaching & Organizing on The Climate Crisis
The lab has parallel streams:
(1) We study how people control themselves. In experimental psychology, this is the field of “executive function” or “cognitive control”. We design behavioral paradigms and study the underlying brain systems using imaging and stimulation methods in healthy volunteers as well as neurological patients.
(2) Prof Aron is also Teaching, Organizing and Researching around the climate crisis.
@ucsdgreennewde1: We are now regularly protesting Chase Bank on campus, as well as Bank of America, CITI and others.
Chase provided financing of over $300 billion to fossil extraction in the last 4 years, including to Enbridge Line 3, and the other banks are close behind.

Few universities are innocent. This stunning report
" ... demonstrates how academics at the University of Oxford carry out extractive research that is of immense value to the fossil fuel industry."

Oppressed, denied #ClimateJustice and barely listened to respectively.
Earth is tearing apart, justice delayed is justice denied. https://t.co/iLFXGZUFiC
