Hivemind, what are your favorite platforms for scientific collaborations/networks in their early stages? Listserv (Google Groups?) is easy but limited functionality + would prefer to move away from Google Dedicated channels (Slack, discord) often fall out of use Hoping to avoid platform lock-in

Excited to see @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social tomorrow to learn about the most impactful climate actions! Join the webinar 👇 us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

I'm looking for an intersection that might not exist, but if it does I'd be excited. I already know: - People study interventions for ecological thinking: e.g., increasing climate awareness, increasing climate action - People do work on climate-aware computing, software Does anyone do both?

🚨 first time ever full brain-wide map of the activity of single neurons during decision-making. 600k+ neurons covering 279 brain areas, which together represent 95% of the mouse brain volume! Exciting times ahead! 🐭🧠🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Neurons all across the brain! Check out the flagship projects I worked on as a postdoc 👇

Decision-making modellers - any tips for interactive classroom demonstrations to teach about sequential sampling models (DDMs)? Sure, it's fine to show an RT distribution but more fun to have the students do a few trials themselves and see outcomes. Online or offline games could work.

Teaching statistics 101 with some insights from Russell.

He knew once more, at last, after this long, bitter, wasted time, who he was and where he was. But where he must go in the years to come, that he could not see; and he feared to see it.

This is such an insane statistic that it's hard to understand. 40% of what is shipped is fossil fuels -- not 40% of things are shipped *by* fossil fuels. 40% of *what is being carried* is the fossil fuels themselves.

We are excited to share a new resource for teaching climate politics! @jeffcolgan.bsky.social and @maxbradley.bsky.social introduce the framework here www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI20.... Visit the Syllabus Bank for more details climate.watson.brown.edu/syllabus-bank - we'd love your feedback!

Poster time #ccn2025! Come see @phil-johnson.bsky.social talk HMM models of engagement and dynamical models of arousal

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.

@anne-urai.bsky.social , @weijima.bsky.social , Ili Ma and @tsonj.bsky.social organised an amazing workshop on 'Science for Social Good' at #CCN2025 @cogcompneuro.bsky.social We wrote a blog reflecting on it: anneurai.net/2025/08/14/r...

Inspired by @davidpoeppel.bsky.social #CCN2025 to not look away? Check out @georgiaturner.bsky.social’s blog post Scientists for social good!

As always, Ted Chiang is great in this interview. cdh.princeton.edu/blog/2025/08...

It is so hard, with all the fascism, to decide what kind of activism to put your efforts into; there are countless phone calls I could be making or protests I could be attending everyday. But I think you really have to pick a topic/approach and specialize in it. 1/

@phil-johnson.bsky.social presenting her work on estimating latent engagement states in @intlbrainlab.bsky.social mice #CCN2025

@davidpoeppel.bsky.social points out the elephant in the conference: whichever direction of the planet we look, things are bad. Einstein, chomsky and arendt point out to us that silence is not neutral 👏 #CCN2025

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

Good to see the AI hype and AGI nonsense called out on Dutch national television! Hele goede en informatieve video van Emil van Oers bij NOS op 3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WDd... Het kijken waard! 🎬 🍿 1/2

Don’t miss Robin Vloeberghs’ poster 92 now: an explicit model of trial to trial fluctuations in decision criterion captures variability in confidence judgments

@isabellehoxha.bsky.social rocking her first #CCN2025 poster on her work with @stepalminteri.bsky.social on range adaptation. Stay tuned for her second poster on Friday afternoon, and @phil-johnson.bsky.social’ talk on Thursday!

On Friday, meet @anne-urai.bsky.social and I at poster C77 to discuss how we are applying Recurrent Neural Networks to perceptual decision making in mice. Looks like recurrence could explain how even perceptual decisions are made!

“Kin are ripening in the fields; kin are nesting under the eaves; kin are flying south for the winter, come back soon. Our words can be an opening to kinship….We need words that heal that relationship, that invite us into an inclusive worldview of personhood for all beings.” ~Robin Wall Kimmerer 🤎

J. D. Bernal in 1939 discussing how graduate students (only a thing from 1917 in the UK) are evaluated based on number and bulk, the publication pressure stifling originality, and filling the literature with useless papers.

In this world on fire, with misinformation, science and democracy under threat, how can scientists be a force for social good? This Monday in Amsterdam, join @weijima.bsky.social @tsonj.bsky.social Ili Ma + me for an interactive workshop as part of #CCN2025 anneurai.net/2025/05/05/c...

We are recruiting a new PI at the FIL @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social, Associate or Full Professor. This is an amazing place to do cognitive neuroscience, in the heart of London. If you or someone you know might be interested, please pass it on. #neuroskyence www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Less than 2 weeks until CCN 2025 in Amsterdam! Here's everything you need to know to prepare for the 8th Cognitive Computational Neuroscience conference, August 12-15 at University of Amsterdam 🧠

We're calling for submissions for a new PLOS Climate Focus Topic on Misinformation and Disinformation- an initiative supported by editors @profsanderlinden.bsky.social, @pammcelwee.bsky.social and @mgrasso.bsky.social Read more about the call and how to submit 👇 latitude.plos.org/2025/08/plos...

"Calls for transforming academia have multiplied over the past decade. These include demands for a change in how the university responds to the climate crisis, how it engages with its colonial past &present &how it is governed [with]calls for truly democratic governance" @ferracimo.bsky.social et al

If we want men to be less lonely, we should start by socializing them in boyhood to be part of a shared project of care. Give them dolls, toy kitchens, and tea sets. Ask them to help care for younger children. Expect them to clean up after themselves. Let them feel the work and value of care. 1/

Workshop announcement! On 25 August 2025 I organize a workshop titled 'Mechanistic explanation and scientific progress in neuroscience and beyond' in Amsterdam. Line-up: Carl Craver, Nazanin Abshari, @joel-h-anderson.bsky.social, Riet van Bork, Umberto Olcese #philsci #neuroscience shorturl.at/6yXVB

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

✨We are organising (again) an online workshop on Theoretical Modeling for PhD candidates and Master students in cognitive science and psychology. Check out the website and the schedule: Registration is open! (closes July 1, spaces are limited) 🧵1/n computationalcognitivescience.github.io/workshop/

My latest inspired by a conversation with Jonathon Porritt during last week’s @gsiexeter.bsky.social Global Tipping Points Conference . jamesdyke.substack.com/p/eco-grief-...

I would love (and am trying) to build a whole lab off of data reuse + modeling. This article pointed to some useful resources I hadn't heard of. I would also add that reuse can be for things far afield from what the data was originally collected for. Your data may have value you've never dreamt of!

In our now published letter in @pnas.org, we raise two wider issues for behavioral science: 1) Intentions are poor predictors of behavior 2) Effects on intentions need not generalize to effects on behavior We join calls for researchers to measure actual behavior: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

What a week @Global Tipping Points conference @gsiexeter.bsky.social From stark warnings on very-near climate tipping points to identifying feedback loops, system rules (in finance, markets and culture) and mindset change we need for climate action 🌍 Heavy-hearted but determined & inspired ✊

The key takeaway from the Global Tipping Points Conference at @exeter.ac.uk, where I've been this week, convening over 500 earth-system & other scientists: Global heating over 1.5C risks setting off tipping points that would destroy the world. The hotter, the more danger. 1/
