I'm hoping to recruit one grad student for 2026-27, in the developmental science area!

Huge congratulations to our PhD student, Craig, for his fantastic poster spotlight talk yesterday at @ieee-icdl.bsky.social - well done on a great talk and poster presentation! #ICDL2025

Particular congratulations to Agata from Babylab PAN (supervised by @tomalski.bsky.social) on her fantastic spotlight talk and poster yesterday! What a wonderful presentation! #ICDL2025

Congratulations, also, to Joanna from Babylab PAN (supervised by @tomalski.bsky.social) who delivered a fantastic 15 minute presentation titled "Talking Hands: Maternal Speech and Hand Movements in Mother-Infant Interactions" 🌟 #ICDL2025

Very proud and glad to be on the team for this study! Want to know more about semantic integration of bilingual Polish-Norwegian toddlers? Check-out our new paper!

I have just finished The Dawn Of Everything and I highly recommend it if you're interested in the structure of society or how we look at history. It's a commitment (525 pages and reasonably dense) but it's eye-opening. And gives you hope for the future - there are *other* ways of doing things.

The former Attorney General of Israel, Michael Benyair is now calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide. "To eternal shame. Jews, who suffered a genocide 80 years ago, are committing genocide in Gaza. Shame, rage, and sorrow"

In a sane world, every newspaper would run on A1 tomorrow: “IDF THREAT: IF JOURNALISTS PHOTOGRAPH GAZA, WE WILL STARVE GAZA”

Czy musimy ciągle powielać stare błędy? – pyta prof. Maria Lewicka #UMK, odnosząc się do propozycji zmian w kryterium I ewaluacji. Wśród pomysłów: zmniejszenie limitu osiągnięć do 2N, odejście od dzielenia udziałów w publikacjach wieloautorskich oraz „wycenianie” publikacji przez komitety #PAN ⬇️

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Our new study in Psych Science @psychscience.bsky.social reveals many interesting-- and concerning -- things about the language on kids' shows, including a grammatical bias in favor of men and boys as agents or "doers" 👇

“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening.” “I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.” — Francesca Albanese

I will forever be haunted by this footage. Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity. What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives. 🌎🦑🧪

Interesting article, but read the methods carefully. It is cross-sectional with a limited, online survey sample. Lacks descriptive stats on percent that listen to popular podcasts. "Contentious politics" is "would do" not "have done." Overall effect is small. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Curious how infant brains fold? I’m excited to share our new study spearheaded by Sarah Tung and Vaidehi Natu now on bioRxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Sarah and Vaidehi examined how the grooves of the brain (sulci) develop in individual infant’s brain during the first year of life.

Genocidal Russia continues to try to depopulate Ukrainian cities of Ukrainians, attacking Zaporizhzhia in the afternoon in another barbaric attack on civilians. The only path to peace is Russia's crushing military and political defeat in Russia.

This is an important statement on academic freedom. It is signed by Ghent University and a few Belgian institutions but no other Belgian universities, which is a shame. Many Dutch universities on the list of signers. allea.org/portfolio-it...

„Plan Trumpa” to nie propozycja pokoju, lecz geopolityczna kapitulacja... Uznanie aneksji Krymu, oddanie Donbasu, ryzykowna quasi-gwarancja bezpieczeństwa dla Ukrainy i uśmiech do Putina... to nie dyplomacja, to zdrada wartości i legalizacja agresji... www.osw.waw.pl/pl/publikacj...

Dutch psychology programs have produced the most important research and researchers during the last 20 years on a per capita basis IMHO. This doesn't seem like it will help maintain that stature and impact (though the US is certainly doing its part in a race to the bottom).

New paper out at @openmindjournal.bsky.social!! We studied early vocab in deaf, hearing, blind, and sighted children in order to learn how sensory access (vision 👀, hearing 👂) and linguistic experiences shape how children learn words... Read on for a quick summary! 1/N
