I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

How can clinical settings become more responsive for #neurodivergent children and young people? This blog explores an experience-sensitive approach to #Neurodivergence & examines why clinical environments can become barriers. Learn more here ➡️ https://bit.ly/4n73gZw.

Young people grow up in a rapidly digitalizing world, with new opportunities but also risks. We therefore asked which interventions have been tested to help youth navigate the digital world. The DigAble team led by Iuliia Chaplinska now gives the answer doi.org/10.1016/j.ss... /1

ah ja. en in gemeentes waar rechts gestemd wordt, vervalt dan het sociale vangnet; minder zorg, minder AOW, minder minder rechten op de werkvloer. vanuit de rechtse steden/ dorpen gaan de jongeren als eerst bij Defensie, en degelijk openbaar vervoer wordt exclusief iets voor de rode plaatsen. 👍👍👍

Necessary research. Ive been watching this phenomenon happen since around 2015 (?) and it has been wild seeing papers that read like longish posts on Der Sturmer (especially shit on race and IQ and race and violence, etc) seek and acquire a simulacrum of legitimacy this way.

New blog post, inspired by the excellent recent qualitative paper by Makel and colleagues: On the reliability and reproducibility of qualitative research. I reflect on how I will incorporate realist ontologies in my own qualitative research. daniellakens.blogspot.com/2026/02/on-r...

Out in the open: the US administration’s attempt to undermine the EU Digital Services Act (and other regulations) was evident. Now it has been elevated to formal policy and goal of diplomatic efforts. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

It is with profound sadness that we share that Professor Andrea Evers passed away. Andrea was a visionary leader, a brilliant scientist, and a compassionate colleague. As we begin to process this immense loss, let us remember Andrea for her remarkable legacy and kindness she brought into our lives.

Nice piece from my astoundingly well-read friend Mark Edmundson....

About 1 year ago, we received NWO funding for our AIM2CARE study, inspired so much by the insights and questions left by John Bowlby. We had pledged at submission to visit his resting place at Isle of Skye. He could not have picked a more beautiful spot.

Only a small % of people engage in toxic activity online, but they’re responsible for a disproportionate share of hostile or misleading content on nearly every platform Because super-users are so active, they dominate our collective impression of the internet www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Though AI helps, does it dull us over time? A study from MIT found that regular ChatGPT use weakens memory, focus, and brain activity. 83% couldn't quote their own text. Essays became repetitive. Researchers call it "cognitive debt"—a slow erosion of independent thinking. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872

My new Substack is about part-time work for parents. In the Netherlands, 65-75% of mothers work part-time and about 30% of fathers do. Part-time work is supported and even encouraged by the government. Why can’t we pull that off here in the U.S.? open.substack.com/pub/darbysax...

Thank you @natureportfolio.bsky.social for making my review of the Anxious Generation open access for parents, policy-makers, and the public. The story told in this book runs counter science and is leading to poor policy decisions that will ultimately fail our kids. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Are there any parents of autistic adolescents, particularly with a PDA profile, in the house? (Please repost for me, bluesky)
