my dept is arguably the strongest psych/cogsci place in NZ and we've been hemorrhaging people in the last few years. honestly I'm wondering how many academics who are mobile will stick around if it's the same bullshit govt

Excited to share that in December I'm joining @uofgpsychneuro.bsky.social as a Lecturer! 🎉 I can't wait to start building a research group in Glasgow.

AI damages that, better cogsci protects against damage & promotes — if not constitutes & entails — emancipatory knowledge on what we are as psychological beings, and finally writing down what I think academia is for me, or could be for others, is one other way I believe we can protect all the above.

Just gave this one a read and it was a delight! It provided some nice CogSci stories and provided a rich history of the field!

"Your attention span is 8 seconds, shorter than a goldfish." No research behind it: Microsoft repeated a statistics website's numbers, and when the BBC checked, no one could find the study. Attention depends on the task.

I could see a bit of both. The CogSci movement was also very much a part of Michael Gove’s attempts to reform the UK’s education system. From what I understand the Labour government has been working to undo a lot of them, so he was likely losing clients & under pressure to find a new income stream.

2. How many real ideas does any cogsci/psych researcher actually have? Over a career, I'd say typically 2-3. Sometimes 1, very rarely 4. But 100+papers is now the norm. That's nuts.

CogSci researchers: I am offering to program your experiments for free. I built oTree, the #1 software for behavioral econ experiments. It now can do cognitive tasks also (www.otree.org/psych). I want to prove that it is more advanced than existing software. Send me your spec! #PsychSciSky
oTree AI now supports psychology experiments
The oTree AI (OTAI) platform now supports psychology experiments: Stroop, flanker, IAT, n-back, stop-signal, and essentially any custom experiment.

I harp on Pinker because of my own CogSci background and his prominence therein, but I haven't seen any compelling evidence of him being a transphobe. Though it's not outside the realm of possibility, considering the company he keeps and his identification as a second-wave feminist.
