🚨 I set off today on research journey to the Marshall Islands! 🚨 UCL Voyage to Aur Here is the 1st instalment in a set of videos covering the project. I explain the background to the project and introduce a Marshallese stick chart held in a museum in London: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g3m...

Donald Trump wasn’t making much from foreign deals. Then he regained power—and set aside the pretense that he cared about ethics.

#neuroskyence folks: as my postdoc grant is running out soon, I am looking for new opportunities in systems neuroscience! Keywords: patch clamp ephys, opto, mouse behavior, (in vivo) voltage imaging. Would love to return to the Basal Ganglia. Sharing appreciated, and happy #FluorescenceFriday !

This morning: Anna Abraham speaks to the storied history of creativity theories and definitions in her keynote address. #SfNC2025

Looking forward to the start of the 10th #SfNC! Yesterday's symposium on AI, Creativity and a Changing World was already

I had someone tell me today his lab "is trying to use ChatGPT to design and implement experiments". They literally are asking it "to come up with experiments, write a protocol and communicate with other machines to implement it". I am in hell. We are in hell.

Congratulations Australia! The people have crushed the fascists. The Labor party’s PM Anthony Albanese has secured a second term in office in an election wipeout. The push back against the Trump / Putin aligned global regressive movement continues strong.

God, that was hard to bear. Students told a physics town hall that grad schools have rescinded admission. NSF proposals are censored for words like “bias,” even when the meaning is technical. Physics curricula are being banned by school districts for encouraging girls. #APSGlobalSummit2025 #APSMarch

Your regular reminder that t-Rump and Brexshit are the same thing... #FuckTrump #FBR #Brexshit #FBPE

The @principlesfirst.bsky.social conference was just evacuated due to a bomb threat. This is after Enrique Tarrio and members of the Proud Boys showed up and tried to disrupt the conference yesterday.

Five things I did last week #1

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

What's the bluesky equivalent of a "tweet" and "tweeted"? "blueski" and "blueskied"? "sky" and "skyed"? Or do we keep "tweet" and "tweeted" as homage to the OG Twitter?

A year ago,Putin killed Navalny in prison.This didn't push the Russian opposition into uniting&fighting Ukraine is the one who continues fighting Putin,paying the price with lives of Ukrainians Unite around Ukraine.Support our Defense Forces. This is where the battle for the future is taking place

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

Just based on the abstract I like this, reading it now and adding it to my noheroes list (sootyempiric.blogspot.com/p/no-heroes-...). philpapers.org/rec/SVOWTG?r...

What a united Europe does next will determine future of not only Ukraine but the whole of the continent, and then the whole world. 2025 is going to be about what actions democracies (don’t) take, not what some others say. Actions speak louder than words. Europe it’s your move. Make it a good one.

PhD opening in the UK: cognitive, computational, and sociocultural basis of pro-environmental decision-making www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/cen...

Evidence is what powerful people say it is. Brace for a very rough ride over the next few years.

Important to know, but relevant only in the reality-based community.

"Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk have challenged decades-long approaches to political extremism that were designed to prevent another Hitler."

If anyone knows a potential PhD student, I can highly recommend this PI and the Icelandic Vision Lab-- it is such a great environment! And, I know this because I'm basically an honorary member of the Lab-- haha!

Clearly, JD Vance learned so much from his trip to Dachau the day before.

Just a reminder that Germany was the center of scientific progress until the Nazis suppressed, drove away, or killed all the non-Nazi scientists.

“The loss of Democracy is not an event, it’s a process”. Ewan Mawarire explains how people in a dictatorship are secretly looking for other people to dissent. He shares his story about how he stood up to a dictator and started a revolution in Zimbabwe. www.powerofusnewsletter.com/p/how-to-cha...

Hello! I'm looking to hire a post-doc, to start this Summer or Fall. It'd be great if you could share this widely with people you think might be interested. More details on the position & how to apply: bit.ly/cocodev_post... Official posting here: academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/14723

I found this to be an informative and provocative read - what happened to cognitive science? Authors argue, based on bibliometric and scientometric analysis, that cognitive science as a discipline is basically dead. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to report that APA wrote this letter, gathered a coalition across science, and will now pay for ads for it to be disseminated in Science and Chronicle of Higher Ed to spread the word!! unitedsciencealliance.org

Canada & the world face two primary threats - the right wing & climate change. How to fight both at the same time? Use Canadian steel & aluminum to manufacture the things needed to replace USA exports to the world that also reduce O&G use. Heat pumps Renewables Hydrogen related Transit ... Canada...
