Very proud to have launched our manifesto and report to make Dutch academia more sustainable - a moment to celebrate after two years of hard work with the Green Young Academy, DJA and many inspiring colleagues dejongeakademie.nl/en/news/3148...

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

Years ago I started the Green Young Academy with @sanlifaez.bsky.social & @anne-urai.bsky.social. Across meetings, zoom calls, pitches and even a meeting with the King, this grew into 2 projects launched today: A report on Universities' sustainability plans & a manifesto with sustainability pledges

Proud to share our manifesto - with a vision and concrete steps towards just sustainability transitions in Dutch academia! With @rogierk.bsky.social, De Jonge Akademie, Green Young Academy www.dejongeakademie.nl/en/news/3148...

We show that pouring knowledge & beliefs about the climate crisis into students' heads DOES NOT RELATE to their collective action 🫨Thus knowledge/beliefs are insufficient for action, as Albarracin & Kahan have long shown 🤜We employed verified collective action rather than hypothetical intentions

Hi @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social, perhaps weird Q: with @phil-johnson.bsky.social we have submitted a preprint which we'd love to list in a grant (deadline Tuesday 4th Nov, ~24hrs from now). Any bioRxiv affiliates who have time to take a quick look? 🙏

I've been thinking about this thread all week, about how we live with the knowledge of climate change, genocide, racism, sexism. How we wake up every morning with this knowledge and yet endeavour to be happy in our own small ways because how can we live otherwise?

Wise cartoon posted outside a @princetonneuro.bsky.social PhD student office. Let’s all remember to enjoy the journey today (and all days).

Congratulations to our colleague @thijsbouman.bsky.social for being awarded a prestigious Vidi grant for his project A Climate of Cynicism! Thijs (together with a PhD + post doc) will examine whether cynicism rather than indifference hinders climate efforts @rug.nl epgroningen.nl/associate-pr...

The Global Tipping Points Report 2025 is out: How can societies trigger positive shifts for people and planet? The technologies chapter (which I contributed to) looks at how innovation can drive these transformations. #GTP2025 #ClimateAction global-tipping-points.org

I'm trying to remember what something is called so I can google about it. Edu toy from the '80s. We had it in The Netherlands. A flat plastic box with tiles that you placed based on quizzes and questions. When you finished you flipped the box and if your answers were correct it formed a picture.

Happening in half an hour: webinar with @swaziadam.bsky.social on the role of social science in collective climate action 👇

Join me for a webinar with @swaziadam.bsky.social, co-hosted by @scientists4future.nl and @scientistrebellion.nl What Now for Social Science and Local Collective Action? 13 October 2025, 20:00-21:00 (NL time)

Introducing hMFC: A Bayesian hierarchical model of trial-to-trial fluctuations in decision criterion! Now out in @plos.org Comp Bio. led by Robin Vloeberghs with @anne-urai.bsky.social Scott Linderman Paper: desenderlab.com/wp-content/u... Thread ↓↓↓ #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

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/

@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
