www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01... Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, in an address to the nation, “the masks had fallen off, revealing only one objective: regime change in Venezuela. This regime change would also allow for the seizure of our energy, mineral, and natural resources."

Spent some time today playing around with the #Rstats package orchaRd 2.0 It offers a really nice way of visualizing #metaanalysis, especially moderator meta-regression models (with both categorical & continuous moderators!) #dataviz 🔗 daniel1noble.github.io/orchaRd/ 📄 doi.org/10.1111/2041...

Wait. Wait WHAT. You can accidentally turn your lasagna into a three volt battery that melts aluminum. WHAT.

All this case is about is some cis white woman who didn‘t even bother engaging with the assignment going after a trans TA because she‘s a bigoted cunt. She wrote a transphobic rant and it got put on blast by Turning Point USA. Nobody needs to argue about grading here.

Our paper on the ☀️ "summer slide" 🛝 is out now @pnas.org! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Summer slide is a replicable phenomenon across diverse datasets that's more than "forgetting" school material in vacation months, but effects of socioeconomic inequality are ➡️ 7x bigger! ⬅️ #PsychSciSky #DevPsy 🧵👇

🚨New paper forthcoming in the Journal of Affective Disorders! Regulatory flexibility—using strategies based on situational demands—has been a central topic in affective science in recent years. It’s often assumed that more flexibility is better. But is that really the case? osf.io/preprints/ps...

Your stomach called – your striatum picked up! But does this actually happen in humans? Using simultaneous dopamine PET/fMRI, we show that the gut hormone ghrelin helps the brain adjust motivation to current metabolic need. Here’s what we found👇 Preprint: shorturl.at/pq4A3 #neuroskyence #🩺

Out now in @ebiomedicine.bsky.social 🚨. Hunger often affects our mood, but is this a conscious or a subconscious process? Using continuous glucose monitoring, we show that differences in mood are driven by hunger ratings, not just glucose. #neuroskyence 🩺 www.thelancet.com/journals/EBI...

Important point: this ISN'T about willpower. It is about our food environment. 👇 The ultra-processed foods problem is driven by commercial interests, not individual weakness. Here’s how to fix it theconversation.com/the-ultra-pr... by @philbakernz.bsky.social et al.

Last week the Lancet series on 'ultra-processed' foods was published, a one-sided view on #UPFs and their impact on health. But, is the fact these foods are processed actually relevant? It was a pleasure to give my take on this for Inside Science on BBC Radio 4! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct8txm

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Recovery, relapse, and genetic risk in eating disorders. A Danish study of more than 10,000 people with anorexia, bulimia, or EDNOS found that almost 9 in 10 reached a period of remission, and that genetic factors shaped who recovered and who relapsed. #EatingDisorders #Genetics 🧵 THREAD

Generative AI causes so many demonstrable harms, from counseling kids into suicide, stealing creative work and destroying the market for it, perverting education, and this predictable horror. Any other product like this would be regulated into the smallest possible box by a responsible society.

“data show an increase of 10% in submissions & 23% in funded projects from female applicants with the lottery-first approach compared to a previously used procedure.

There are strict rules around the advertising of pharmaceuticals in Canada, so it's extremely jarring right now that I can't turn on the radio, watch TV or go to the movies without being inundated by GLP-1 commercials.

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly. Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer. Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.
