Hey all.
Last week was lots of fun. Thanks to all who came out last week for our Yom H celebration. And thanks so much to those who brought goodies. Such a nice time.
 Thanks to Dina for teaching the last couple of weeks. 😀 And great to welcome Sarah back and dancing. Kol Hakavod! Now we need Sara and Donald to rejoin our circle as soon as possible!
So here is a cute (I think) tidbit for you all. This coming Thursday, Tamar will be teaching a circle dance called Yeled Aba Ve'ima. It is a joint choreography from Dudu Barzilay and Smadar Asor. Smadar just happens to be a good bud of Ziva's. So we are doing this dance in honor of their friendship (and also because it is a nice dance). 😊❤️😊
We'll continue to do our best to dance safely, now with boosters, masks, still required. Masks are still required by Beth Emet
(See below for instructions on how to get your booster information to me, by Wednesday please.)
Jordan Suchow's Research Project: Our friend Eva is asking for people to help participate in her son's research project. Very interesting (though not related to dance). See the article and zoom link near the very end of this newsletter. Thanks Eva for the info!

[ed: if you choose to participate, give as many responses as you want. There is not specific end to the questions.)
Hi everyone,
We recently had a paper come out in PNAS (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2115228119) where we study people's biased first impressions of each other's faces using a dataset of 1 million judgments. Now we're collecting the second round, aiming for 10 million judgments across a bigger range of faces and attributes.
You can help us reach our goal of 10 million judgments by participating in the study, looking at faces and rating them along one of many attributes.
To participate, go to the "Contribute" section at the following link: https://onemillionimpressions.com/.
Feel free to share the link with anyone else you think may be interested in taking part!
Thanks,
Jordan
