Dr. Julie Chow is a Research Associate at the School of Psychology, Faculty of Science, University of New South Wales (UNSW). Her position focuses on conducting psychological research in the areas of attention, causal learning, and belief formation. Dr. Chow's research primarily investigates how uncertainty and ambiguity affect attentional processes, causal learning, and belief formation. She is particularly interested in understanding how informational uncertainty guides attention, shaping what we learn and the decisions we make. This research is crucial for understanding how people form specific (sometimes false) beliefs in complex and variable environments. Her work employs a multifaceted approach including behavioral experiments, eye-tracking, and computational modeling. Additionally, she engages in applied research examining how cognitive biases in learning might underpin real-world pseudoscientific thinking and misinformation in health contexts. Analysis of Dr. Chow's publication record reveals a strong focus on cognitive mechanisms underlying causal learning and belief formation. Her work consistently explores how uncertainty influences attentional priorities and how these attentional processes shape learning outcomes. A notable trend in her research is the investigation of illusions of causality and how they relate to pseudoscientific beliefs, particularly in health contexts. Her methodological approach combines rigorous experimental designs with computational modeling to provide comprehensive insights into these cognitive phenomena. Dr. Chow has secured research funding as Primary Investigator on the Small Seed Grant Project "Uncertainty in Attention and Causal Learning," awarded by the UNSW Science Early Career Research Network. She also serves as Co-Primary Investigator on the Small Project Grant "From Beliefs to Behaviours: Exploring Sex and Community Dynamics in Sexual and Reproductive Health Beliefs," awarded by the Women's Wellbeing Academy, UNSW Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.

C.M. Fokkema is a Senior Researcher at the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI-KNAW) in the Families & Generations group and serves as an endowed professor of Ageing, Families and Migration at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Erasmus University Rotterdam. Within IMISCOE, she coordinates the Standing Committee 'Older Migrants' and is internationally recognized as a specialist on ageing, intergenerational solidarity, migration, and their intersection. Dr. Fokkema holds a PhD in Economics from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, which has provided the foundation for her interdisciplinary approach to demographic research. Her educational background bridges economic theory with sociological and gerontological perspectives, allowing her to examine complex population dynamics through multiple lenses. Fokkema's research primarily focuses on the experiences of older migrants, with particular attention to loneliness, social networks, intergenerational relationships, and return migration. She has extensive experience analyzing large-scale cross-national surveys including SHARE, GGS, and TIES, and has conducted fieldwork among older migrants in Italy and Morocco. Her work examines how cultural backgrounds, migration histories, and social contexts shape aging experiences, particularly why certain migrant groups experience higher levels of loneliness despite maintaining social contacts. Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on understanding social determinants of well-being among older adults from migrant backgrounds, increasingly addressing intersections of migration status with gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic position. She has made significant contributions to understanding the 'loneliness paradox' among certain migrant groups who maintain social contacts yet still experience high loneliness. Dr. Fokkema was involved in the ERC Research project 'Families in Context' (2014-2018), which examined social implications of growing old in migration contexts. Her research has practical implications for policies addressing social isolation among vulnerable older populations and has been published in leading journals including The Journals of Gerontology, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Population, Space and Place, European Journal of Ageing, and Ageing and Society. She actively participates in research networks focused on migration and aging, contributing to both theoretical advancements and practical interventions in the field.
