Our guest for this latest instalment of the Science & Belief in Society Podcast is Dr. Kimberly Rios, Associate Professor at Ohio University, whose research explores the relationship between science, religion and identity from a social psychological perspective. In this episode, Kim talks about how our perception of things as seemingly fixed as the length of a straight line are shaped by group pressures, discusses the differential impacts membership of majority and minority social groups have on our identity and the potential for us to ‘choke’ under pressure, and even introduces us to her dog Jimmy!
