This document, marked as a House Oversight record, details four specific incidents (numbered 3 through 6) of alleged sexual misconduct by an unnamed academic, contextually identifiable as Lawrence Krauss. The allegations span from 2008 to 2016 and include inappropriate touching at conferences, propositioning a woman on a cruise, and grabbing a woman's breast during a photo in Australia. The document references formal complaints filed with Arizona State University, Australian National University, and the New College of the Humanities in July 2017.

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.
