Yeah so...this is a pretty good textbook example of how NOT to interpret evidence about change in implicit biases as measured by the IAT.https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1064685124426461185 …

Education about implicit bias doesn't reduce implicit bias, just as learning about dieting doesn't reduce weight. Evidence shows that bias education does change beliefs and arms people with strategies to prevent potential bias (eg, Forscher et al 2017, Carnes et al, 2015)
This seems arguably contradicted by the conclusions referenced in the abstract for your 2017 paper, no? "Together, these findings suggest that implicit bias is malleable, but that changing implicit bias does not necessarily lead to changes in explicit bias or behavior."pic.twitter.com/HwC0No6Zw1
