Ali Teymoori and I wrote up a piece for @markrubin.bsky.social's excellent Critical Metascience blog. We summarise our new paper on disciplinary crises in psychology and some of the key take-homes for psychologists.

We've all heard about the replication crisis in psychology. But psychologists have been calling "crisis" for as long as the discipline has been around. Ali Teymoori and I look at this history and what it means for today's crisis. #philsky doi.org/10.1177/1089...

🧵1/4 ⚡🦋 Electrostatic pollination by butterflies and moths Butterflies and moths accumulate electrostatic charge as they fly, allowing them to pull pollen grains off flowers without even touching them. In other words, they can literally attract pollen through the air. doi.org/10.1098/rsif...

I år lanserer vi eit nytt og brennaktuelt emne ved SVT: I vårens danningsemne (VIT219) skal vi diskutere krisene og tryggleikstenkinga si tyding for kunnskaps- og samfunnsutvikling. Emnet er ope for studentar ved UiB med minst 30 avlagte stp. Frist 01.02, les meir 👇 www.uib.no/fag/dannelse...

In an era troubled by threats of ecological tipping points, geopolitical instability, and uncontrollable technological acceleration, security has become a central lens through which societies interpret and address their challenges. Can we imagine other futures? www.uib.no/en/svt/17996...

Security has become a central lens through which societies interpret and address their challenges. Join our annual symposium in Bergen on 12 December, where we will explore how the concept of security permeates our cultural imagination and institutional responses. www.uib.no/en/svt/17996...

Our Professor, Kjetil Rommetveit (@psheek.bsky.social), is currently leading a project at the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) which will create a framework for studying the co-production of artificial intelligence and politics, mainly through the EU's new #AI Act 👇🧪 #STS cas-nor.no/news/meet-pr...

— Vitenskapen trives best når den kritiseres. Nettopp gjennom kritikk kan den ikke bare vise sine kvaliteter, den kan også utbedres, skriv Henrik Berg, professor i vitskapsteori ved SVT & Institutt for klinisk psykologi ved @unibergen.bsky.social og UiA: www.khrono.no/vitenskapeli...

🧵1/n 🦋✨ Welcome back to #PollinatorWeek! We explore how #PollinatorsWeaveConnections across ecosystems, economies, and our everyday lives. Spoiler: the links are deeper than you think! 🌍🐝💚 #FutureForPollinators #ProjectButterfly #pollinators

🧵1/10 🌍🐝 #PollinatorWeek continues! We've explored how #PollinatorsWeaveConnections and uncovered amazing facts about their ecology. But let’s take a step back. 👉 What’s driving #PollinatorDecline? And why should we care? #ProjectButterfly #ButterflyEffect #SaveTheBees #BeeyondHoneybees

🧵1/9 🌍💫🐝💐 #PollinatorsWeaveConnections We kicked off #PollinatorWeek by exploring how pollinators connect with people and ecosystems. Today, let’s flip the lens: how can science help protect these vital creatures and the services they provide? 🧠🦋 #FutureForPollinators #ProjectButterfly #pollinators

Vi gratulerer gjesteforskaren vår, Tore Vagn Lid, med to Hedda-prisar denne helga! 👏🎉 Det filosofiske lesedramaet Triggersystemet er eit fleirårig kunstnarisk forskingsprosjekt ved NTNU, leia av Vagn Lid, med SVT som ein av fleire partnarar. www.dagsavisen.no/kultur/tore-...

🧵1/6 We’re kicking off our #PollinatorWeek series with a bang 💥 — straight from our very own project coordinator @jeroenvandersluijs.bsky.social  @vitenskapsteori.bsky.social 🚀🔥 👇 #PollinatorsWeaveConnections #ProjectButterfly #ButterflyEffect #NatureIsConnected #SaveTheBees #BiodiversityMatters

🌼✨ #PollinatorWeek is here! thx @pollinatororg.bsky.social   16–22 June #PollinatorsWeaveConnections 🦋 Join Butterfly this week! Each day, we’re dropping science-packed snippets from our brilliant researchers! 💡🔬 Curious? You should be. Let’s build a #FutureForPollinators — one post at a time 🦋 🌍💫

(2/2) Willow isn’t just fuel—it’s food for early-spring pollinators and helps bumble bees thrive later in the season. We’re tracking: 🌸 How #willow supports pollinators 🔁 How #pollinators support the willow supply chain #ButterflyEUProject #PollinatorsMatter #LivingLabs #Bioenergy #Agroforestry

(1/2) #LivingLabs focus on 📍 Northern Jutland 🌿🐝 What if bioenergy could boost pollinators too? In #NorthernJutland, agroforestry meets organic pig farming—producing both premium pork 🐖 and willow for bioenergy.

Pollinators severely affected by microplastic: https://f.mtr.cool/ctcfllkaup New threats faced by bees:

🗑️🐛Plastic pollution is a pollinator crisis — clogging nesting sites, contaminating flowers, and disrupting entire food chains. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, rethink plastic, protect #pollinators, and choose action to safeguard life. #BeatPlasticPollution 👇Links to further info in the post below.

(2/2) Intensive almond farming threatens biodiversity & pollinators. We're testing agroecological practices to measure effects on: 🐝 Pollinator health & diversity 🌼 Pollination & almond yield 🗓️ New site every Thursday—stay tuned! #ButterflyEUProject #PollinatorsMatter #Agroecology #AlmondFarming

🌍 We are taking you on a journey across our diverse research sites! First stop: 📍 #LivingLabs – #Murcia @pdelarua.bsky.social 🌸 Did you know 38% of organic crops in Murcia are almond trees? These trees support rural life & heritage—but rising demand brings challenges (1/2).

Our first speaker after lunch was @rosetrappes.bsky.social from @vitenskapsteori.bsky.social, who gave the presentation: Mainstreaming feminist philosophy of science: Time to celebrate?
