This document, marked as House Oversight evidence, outlines multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against Dr. Lawrence Krauss (referred to as 'You' and 'Dr. Krauss'). It details specific incidents at Case Western Reserve University in 2007 involving inappropriate comments and unwanted advances toward a student, resulting in a university investigation that found his behavior could constitute sexual harassment. It also notes his subsequent move to Arizona State University in 2008 and another incident at an American Atheists Convention in Minneapolis.

A cognitive neuroscience experiment where college students' expectations were manipulated (primed with positive or negative words) before a cognitive task, while their brains were scanned to observe responses to mistakes.
Date unknown • Not specified
A neuroscience experiment was conducted to test how expectations affect reality. College students were 'primed' with positive words (e.g., 'smart', 'clever') or negative words (e.g., 'stupid', 'ignorant') before a cognitive test. Those primed positively performed better. Brain scans showed that when positively-primed students made an error, their prefrontal cortex showed increased activity (a sign of learning), whereas negatively-primed students' brains showed no such response, indicating they expected to fail and did not process the error as a learning opportunity.
