Ran into some people on Reddit who are angry at games for making these statements. Please repost this to make them angrier

As someone who retracted a paper a couple of years ago after we were alerted to a problem in our data, this is a good take👌

In late 2024, Cuellar et al published a review of all the studies purporting to validate firearms analysis (eg techniques associating a found bullet to a particular gun). They found 'fatal' errors in each one. Surprisingly, we disagree: doi.org/10.1093/lpr/...

I do not want, or see any value, in an AI review of any paper I submit to a journal. If you do this, I will withdraw my paper and submit elsewhere. Or simply post as a preprint never to be reviewed. Fuck this enshittification of scholarship.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

New preprint 🌟 Psychology is core to cognitive science, and so it is vital we preserve it from harmful frames. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I use our psych and computer science expertise to analyse and craft: Critical Artificial Intelligence Literacy for Psychologists. doi.org/10.31234/osf... 🧵 1/

"no worries if not!" But they were, all of them, deceived. For there were some worries if not

The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

Fantastic talk by David White showing that super-recognizers don't pay extra attention to all social cues (e.g. bodies), just to faces #ecp2025 @expsyanz.bsky.social

Great talk by @bethanygrowns.bsky.social looking at overlap between face super-recognizers and object super-matchers #epc2025 @expsyanz.bsky.social

Hey ECRs at @expsyanz.bsky.social this week - if you're interested in object perception and/or neural decoding, come find me for a chat about an upcoming postdoc spot at the @marcsinstitute.bsky.social 👀

Brilliant talk by @andyperfors.bsky.social at #epc2025 encouraging psychology to study the effects of disinformation at the systemic level @expsyanz.bsky.social

In an absolutely barbaric move, the Trump administration is officially cutting off specialized 988 suicide prevention support for LGBTQ+ youth. This is murder. From NPR: "SAMHSA announced Tuesday it was ending these specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth on July 17."

Walking across UNSW campus for a conference, I found myself thinking about how I love academia (for all its flaws) because of what it reflects about humanity. We all decided that it's worth creating and resourcing an entire cultural institution devoted to the acquisition and spread of knowledge.

Australasian Experimental Psychology Conference/Asia-Pacific Conference on Vision kicks off tomorrow! We're all very excited. See the programme it looks fantastic drive.google.com/file/d/1d0KE... website: conference.unsw.edu.au/en/epc-apcv-... follow us here: @expsyanz.bsky.social

the psych department at Waikato (in Hamilton, New Zealand) is recruiting at the junior level, in developmental and/or perception/cognition (in NZ 'lecturer' means 'assistant professor', and is a permanent role)

Pride is in full bloom.

Last chance for applications!

Grad students have to learn both their field of study and how science is communicated, as well as what academic life is like. The Two Psychologists Four Beers podcast really helped me understand the "behind the scenes" of academia. Strongly recommend to any prospective psych academics! [link below]

Bernard Hickey: The Govt’s retrospective law wrecks 33 pay equity deals. $17 billion in wages & back-pay will not now go to over 150,000 workers. That means the $14 billion of tax cuts going mostly to landlords & highest earners are being paid for by wage cuts for the poorest NZers, mostly women.

If you are a feminist academic, you should sign this letter. forms.gle/oDYgnobrMiSc...

If you are a grad student under funding threat who studies something you could imagine sharing with a tech audience, I'd love for you to tell me about it under this thread so I can RT

Being yourself, finding your way through a sea of language and information is an absolutely worthwhile process to take your time with. Use your voice until you can hear how beautiful it is, far more beautiful than anything a LLM can produce. Treasure your voice even in small ways. Its precious

who says that science doesn't generate profit?

For my academics who cook, for me, personally: Someone saying “oh my god” when they take a bite of my cooking >>>>>>>>> “we are pleased to accept…” or “impact score: 16”

reposting because it has new year's energy

Although this is actually easier to explain than a research only postdoc
