I edited 2 volumes for Frontiers back in 2021 - before I knew better. Never again - it was challenging to get them to adhere to their own ethics guidelines & the “review” system is set up to avoid rejection as much as possible.

@frontiersin.bsky.social is a predatory publisher, and not an acceptable venue to publish in. For all those who still think the opposite, here’s an invitation to edit an issue of their earth science journal (I’m a philosopher), with an equally mind-boggling explanation.

Acabamos de sacar un libro blanco sobre desacuerdos en contextos digitales, uno de los resultados del proyecto #digi_morals financiado por #fundacionBBVA Resultado de la colaboración entre tres ámbitos: la filosofía, la comunicación y la ciencia política 👇👇🎉🎉📣 e-archivo.uc3m.es/entities/pub...

Talking about variation in philosophical intuitions in philosophy bites

Togo lizards prefer “pizza Quattro Formaggi”. Feeling inspired by this ig Nobel prize winning study onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

‼️Next month: Great workshop in Beijing on AI and online communication 👇👇

For those who might be interested: I have a new paper forthcoming in Erkenntnis. It's about whether linguistic data on hedging support the popular knowledge norm of assertion (spoiler: it's not so clear that they do). philpapers.org/rec/MOREHA-6

At the 11th SEFA in Sevilla, Neri Marsili (@narsimarsi.bsky.social) speaks on: “Posting and Reposting: Investigating Reputation, Trust, and Deniability in Online Communication”

Community Notes were never going to replace fact checking. It could offer something else, something complementary. So far it does not look like it is offering much. Saying that it is a new system still being tested is simply not good enough when you are Meta. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Like sexy Kant

Like the widely reported study showing that 59% of social media users repost news without reading them – a percentage which must include all journalist reporting on this, since the study makes no such claim digitaledition.chicagotribune.com/tribune/arti...

Got some spare budget for software 💰. Any good advice on paid tools that you couldn't do your research without?

"Misplaced Trust in Expertise: Pseudo-Experts and Unreliable Experts" by Michel Croce & Neri Marsili doi.org/10.1080/0269... The persistence of scientific misconceptions is often attributed to a decline in trust in experts. #socialepistemology #journal #article #trust #expertise #misinformation

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

🎉Exciting times ahead for @elmanubohn.bsky.social, Michael Franke, and me! We will soon be advertising 2 PhD positions (linguistics/biology/psychology) for our SFB subproject "Modeling Great Ape Signaling Behaviour" 🧮 🐵 Stay tuned!

this came to me in a fever dream

Nature ran a piece finding that 25 million people could die as a result of ending USAID. This puts Trump and Musk in the category of the most brutal leaders of the 20th century in terms of unnecessary lives lost. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Everyone involved in trying to pass off that ChatGPT-extruded disinformation manifesto as a scientific report should be, at the very least, barred from public office for life. The MAHA report is dangerous criminal misconduct and an offence to the process of science.

If you haven't been looking recently at the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (oecs.mit.edu), here's your reminder that we are a free, open access resource for learning about the science of mind. Today we are launching our new Thematic Collections to organize our growing set of articles!

Can't wait to share our new #RSA model of #indirect communication developed with Michael Franke @meanwhileina.bsky.social‬ and Martin V. Butz! We model how speakers choose utterances, such as "The election outcome was interesting!", and how listeners interpret them. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

My deepest respect to all those who didn’t wait for it to be safe to call out atrocities & the risk of genocide in Gaza, who didn’t distract from the truth of what was happening, who called perpetrators out & demanded justice, & who always side with civilian life regardless of the cost.

If you happen to see a friend across the street, odds are you might raise an arm and wiggle your hand to say hello. Cuttlefish apparently do something similar—and that’s not the only arm gesture they use to communicate. Learn more: scim.ag/4j5nmQv
