💎🐵Happy to share our recently published study on the origin of our fascination with crystals! #OpenAccess #crystals #chimpanzees www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...

Experiments show that chimpanzees are naturally attracted to crystals, suggesting that early humans may have shared this fascination due to the stones’ unique transparency and geometric shapes.

¿Es la estética un invento humano o una herencia evolutiva? Un estudio con chimpancés en España demuestra que nuestra fascinación por los cristales no nació con las joyas, sino que tiene raíces profundas en un pasado compartido hace más de seis millones de años.

Experimentos con chimpancés inspirados en el monolito de '2001' muestran por qué nos fascinan los cristales

Every single day, with no exception, Israel is carrying out massacre after massacre in Gaza. The livestreamed genocide continues thanks to Israel's western allies that are too busy cracking down on any signs of dissent at home

"No one knows what will come to replace the international system that is currently collapsing around us, but any political system that prioritizes punishing those who protest genocide rather than stopping the killing has clearly exhausted itself." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

#Gaza #ProfitsOfWar Francesca Albanese describes the dark, self-serving reason that no UN member states have stopped the genocide in Gaza — namely, the economy of war, crisis and genocide that fuels the slaughter and fills the pockets of craven private actors. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-9y...

On "temporal flattening" of doomscrolling: "A war crime appears beside a meme. Systemic inequality beside a product launch. The recursive timeline offers no stable horizon for meaning. Everything is urgent. Nothing is grounded. … We're not wired to metabolise a world-scale crisis every 15 min." 1/2

Meta-analysis forest plots begin to look too crowded if you're reporting around 50 effect sizes or more. This 'orchard plot' is a really nice alternative for visualising 50+ effect sizes (paper link: doi.org/10.1111/ele....). Can anyone point me to other similar visualisations that they like?
