I wrote an article about the psychology by which disinformation campaigns work, with examples from anti-trans propaganda. It's not just about individual beliefs, but also the way our institutions and norms are manipulated. Please read and share! pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/Ant...?

Well that pretty much does it for holding scientific conferences in the US. This is some serious Dear Leader type move. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Tremendo. Linda declaración de principios

🚨 HUGE news from Canada's tricouncils who are harmonizing their scholarship & fellowship programs, upping the total number (huzzah!), and critically, allowing foreigners to apply for doctoral and postdoc fellowships. Want to work with me? Get in touch! 🇨🇦🧪⚒️ www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NewsDetail-D...

“Sobrevuela un concepto de libertad ultra individualista que predica el predominio del más fuerte. Nunca será esa nuestra noción de libertad”, Yamandú Orsi Presidente de la República Oriental del Uruguay en su asunción 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

—Y han dejado a miles de personas sin su ahorros con su estafa. —SI ES QUE YA SABES LO QUE PASA EN LOS PAÍSES COMUNISTAS, NO LES GUSTA LA LIBERTAD, NI EL RIESGO PORQ- —Ha sido Milei. —SABÍAN PERFECTAMENTE LO QUE HACÍAN, ES LO QUE TIENE EL RIESGO, VIVA LA LIBERTAD, CARAJO.

Marina D'or // Estafa D'or

Si te escribe Brad Pitt por internet pidiéndote dinero ¡SOSPECHA! Se trata de un farsante tratando de estafarte. Si te escribe Milei por internet pidiéndote dinero ¡NO SOSPECHES! Realmente es Milei tratando de estafarte.

Propongo cambiar el nombre de Alberto González Amador, novio de Ayuso, por Golfo de Madrid.

When Stanford IT staff and a pro-diversity group shared a list of words they encouraged others not to use, it was national news, despite the fact it never represented campus policy. When the government erases any mention, data or research related to words, will it be treated as a free speech issue?

Very happy to have participated in this *beautiful* documentary from Florent Muller, on the frontiers between humans and machines, following next @yann-lecun.bsky.social and so many humbling figures of AI: www.france.tv/documentaire...

Science will take a huge hit; academic stars will leave; university reputations will crumble, and homegrown talent will be even harder to find. Asia and Europe will profit. Epic unforced errors, all in the overly narrow pursuit of cutting costs.

Shame on this administration! A global disaster, voluntarily caused, is under way, we cannot stay silent. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

Esta marcha antifascista contra Milei en Argentina, merece la pena ser compartida. Impresionante.

Remember this when free markets' gurus come to tell us that opening our markets is always the best for our economy.

fMRI is routine in Cognitive Neuroscience, but so far, we did not have it in Uruguay. Victoria Gradin managed to take advantange of a recently acquired 3T equipment and make this wonderful study, the first ever published fMRI study from Uruguay. academic.oup.com/scan/advance...

Esto es un hito para la Neurociencia Nacional @socneurouy.bsky.social

La resonancia magnética funcional se utiliza hace más de 30 años en el mundo. En Uruguay no había nada. Hasta ahora. Victoria Gradin y Álvaro Cabana, junto con gente del CUDIM y estudiantes Alejo Acuña y Seba Morales hicieron esta maravilla: academic.oup.com/scan/advance... @CIBPsi

Instead of the government spending money on things like vaccine and cancer research, it should be spending money on developing AI tools that China can produce at 1/000th the cost.

Quién nos iba a decir que Chatgpt iba a ser el primero en perder el trabajo por culpa de una IA.

À réaffirmer haut et fort, l'#autisme: -est une condition neurodéveloppementale atypique -n'est ni une maladie psy, ni une erreur éducative, ni un trouble dû aux vaccins, ni une insulte -n'est pas "guérissable" -ne peut être défini par les frasques d'un milliardaire www.jim.fr/viewarticle/...

In the 1930s, as researchers fled German universities, which were then the world’s best, American foundations and universities offered them fellowships and jobs, laying the groundwork for the rise to preeminence of the postwar American university system

La IA china da bastante Nvidia.

Así que la mano invisible consiste en utilizar los aranceles como herramienta coercitiva para que otros países se plieguen a tus exigencias políticas. Joder con los liberales.

Good thread on the (non) cultural bases of visual illusions.

Tailandia se une a los 37 países donde es legal el matrimonio homosexual: "Es una victoria para las generaciones futuras". La ley que legaliza las uniones legales de parejas homosexuales ha entrado en vigor este miércoles. https://dozz.es/rmma46

Multa de 7.400 millones de dólares a Purdue Pharma, principal farmacéutica estadounidense responsable de la epidemia de fentanilo en EE.UU., y sus dueños (familia Sackler), para pagar a las víctimas por dispensar su potente analgésico OxyContin a sabiendas de su gran poder adictivo. Miles de muertos

RFkJr is a threat to human health: when the next pandemic hits we need disease tracking (CDC now silenced) and fast vaccine development (which he opposes). If you live in ME, NC, SD, LA, AK, ID, KY or SD call your senators to oppose his confirmation (hearing this Wed.). (continued, please retweet):

Every person alive today has benefited in some way from work conducted or supported by the National Institutes of Health. Blocking NIH research is malicious and dangerous www.cnn.com/2025/01/24/h...

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

Al parecer no hay un efecto de las altas capacidades sobre la depresión y la ansiedad según este metaanalisis, aunque ellos dicen que hay que tomar esto con cuidado por lo heterogéneo de los artículos de base.
