Reviewing is dead (citation needed). Well, not quite dead. But in no fit state to be at work. Wonder what we do.

A Swedish word for a stepparent is bonusförälder, which means “bonus parent.” Similarly, a bonusbarn is a “bonus child.”

We want to extend a published study on applied attention in men and women... but the author won't respond any longer to our emails (now about 5 months!) It'd be a great pity not to use the same stimuli.. any ideas?

Strong emergence

Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) is not on Bsky yet, but they have a new website. If you are interested in vision research, RPB is a source of funding for your work. I owe my career to RPB in many ways. www.rpbusa.org

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/

It's been a little while, but I've got a new Science of #Chess post up over on my lichess site - this time about the challenges of trying to estimate a "Chess Personality." Enjoy! lichess.org/@/NDpatzer/b...

Watching light bulbs go up over students' heads is one of the most rewarding parts of my life. #LoveWhatIDo 💕

Don't forget to add this white text to all your publications.

Everyone is equal before nature and that Everyone's Rights belong to everyone, according to Liina Aulin, Metsähallitus communications director. "Words influence our thinking, and we want our communication to be part of the effort to promote equality," Aulin noted. yle.fi/a/74-20038364

This chart is wild. Near vertical direction on solar capacity globally, led by China. And as Ember notes in a new report today, that trend is accelerating with nearly 400GW new capacity in first 6 months of 2025.

Awesome new preprint from @jasonleng.bsky.social! Deadlines in decision making often truncate too-slow responses. Failing to account for these omissions can (severely) bias your DDM parameter estimates. They offer a great solution to correct for this issue. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Rewatching Jim Carey et al. *masterpiece* Series of Unfortunate Events

I have N projects that need writing up. I have T time available. Each project takes t(n) time to write up. The total time to write up all projects is greater than T: Σt(n)(1...N) > T I divide my time proportionally. ∴ I will wrote no papers ever again. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buridan...

I need a #mathematician to help with a project. Ideally UK-based. I've emailed a few folks in my uni, but none replied... Anyone interested? My need is nonlinear modelling of brain and muscle signals, optimisation, decomposition. Anyone?

🧠 Interested in how the brain constructs and uses meaning? 
In my Journal Club piece for @natrevpsychol.nature.com, I summarize the Controlled Semantic Cognition Framework by Lambon Ralph et al. — a leading model of how the brain represents and flexibly applies semantic knowledge. 👉🏼 rdcu.be/eE31i

Whole thread + abstract about work on ‘the visual cortex’ reader shdnt have to guess from context it’s in mice Not dishonest… but feels not straightforwardly honest, to me.
