Nature Human Behaviour has requested a couple more minor revisions of the Stage 1 Registered Report. The lead team is working on these changes and will resubmit the manuscript very soon. Data collection preparations are ongoing. https://manybabies.github.io/MB3/

PSA-JTF-001: Moral Experiences (https://psysciacc.org/news/2022-04-20_special-call-for-studies-studying-generalizability-with-global-samples.html)

The lead team thanks those who have expressed interest in joining the project thus far. They will start reaching out to potential collaborators soon.

The team continues to seek collaborators from all world regions, but especially those who can collect data in Africa or the Middle East. They will be choosing approximately 25 countries in which to collect data. This list will likely include Pakistan, Turkey, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia, Greece, and Poland, so data collection teams in these countries are also encouraged to express interest.

CBNEC launches Regional Hubs for South Asia & Latin America and Caribbean The Community Building & Network Expansion committee of the PSA aims to increase the access and reach of the PSA within and outside its network. To better build a community of researchers that is region-specific and focused on discussing community-centered research, we are launching Regional Hubs! We are testing regional hubs in two regions with PSA members: South Asia & Latin America and the Caribbean. For more information, check out this blog post (https://psysciacc.org/news/2023-05-22_cbnec-launches-regional-hubs-for-south-asia-latin-america-and-caribbean.html) .
