I am sad to share that Project Implicit, my first non-profit and foundation of my career, is closing. The IAT website will continue, managed by the next generation of leaders in implicit bias research.
Here's the statement I posted to LinkedIn. It didn't vibe right as a bsky thread.

Exciting to see some research I co-authored get some press! Working on this highlighted how difficult it is to find data needed to develop these kinds of estimates. Findings indicate universities serve a much larger group of autistic students than thought & need to ramp up their support in kind
