What do my fellow researchers in cooperation research think of this?https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/ceq1000742go

today I learned: Es gibt in Hamburg eine Poliklinik die Menschen ohne Versicherung behandelt, mit komplett ehrenamtlichen Mitarbeitenden, modernen Geräten und verschiedenen Fachrichtungen! Komplett spendenfinanziert. Traurig dass es das braucht, aber Respekt! www.praxisohnegrenzen-hh.de

Hab Gänsehaut, das ist unglaublich! youtu.be/bhExSMZt1zs?...

One thing I have learned ever since talking openly about my life with bipolar disorder is that, yeah, there are still many people interpreting hypomanic or depressive states as character flaws.

A feature in Nature outlines how researchers are using artificial intelligence to decode the speech of animals, and the technology may enable humans someday to talk back to them. 🧪

📣 New registered report in @nathumbehav.nature.com with Ivan Soraperra, @jonathanschulz.bsky.social, and Shaul Shalvi: rdcu.be/eAcMA With data from 7,978 participants in 20 countries, we find that information about negative externalities promotes prosociality, especially in guilt-prone individuals.

On the left is a rabbit. On the right is an elephant. But guess what: They’re the *same image*, rotated 90°! In @currentbiology.bsky.social, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I show how these images—known as “visual anagrams”—can help solve a longstanding problem in cognitive science. bit.ly/45BVnCZ

Too often, I see people talk about a replication as if the first study has established something, and the replication study is a double-check. What people often fail to understand is that we do not do replication studies to *check* a finding, but to *establish* a finding. 1/x

Through experiments and simulations, this study shows how individuals learn to learn from others, dynamically shaping the processes involved in cultural evolution. @davidschultner.bsky.social @bjornlindstrom.bsky.social @lucasmolleman.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I should get credit for not attending Jeff Bezo's wedding even though I wasn't invited.

Another Ivy League psychology professor just lent his credentials to an organisation which promotes scientific racism. Don’t think psychology’s biggest problem has anything to do with p values

Our new paper suggests that transmissible sender characteristics, such as the ability to persuade people and communicate effectively, might play a more significant role in cultural evolution than how we learn and from whom.

A little text about my journey with bipolar disorder. Seeing scientists speak openly about their experiences encouraged me to help break the stigma too. A part of me feels insecure about sharing this, but it also feels like the right thing to do. adileyasar.github.io/one-of-these...

Wanted to share a handy little resource with you all (especially those in dev psych) — my lab & I made a "journal submission cheat sheet" that summarizes article types, word limits, & other requirements for the journals we typically submit to. Link below 👇🏼 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Econ friends, this may be a stupid question but alas: I have data from two different historical time points (2011 and 2022) in Germany. I need to add 1-2 sentences on macro-economic developments / differences in Germany between those time points. Any reference I could use? Thanks a lot!

Some people seem to have grown a spine.

„Ursache für die Entlassung ist nach MAZ-Recherchen eine grundsätzlich unterschiedliche Einschätzung von Müller und Innenministerin Lange, wie mit der AfD umzugehen sei. Müller fuhr eine konsequente Linie der Offenlegung extremistischer Tendenzen in der AfD.“ www.maz-online.de/brandenburg/...

Computational theory is about computers (i.e. "technology") in the same way that astronomy is about telescopes. Thinking that computation is not fundamentally important for biology because "a cell is not like a laptop" is to miss the forest for the trees. N/N
