Anyway, where are my #AcademicTwitter people at? Have you all gone to this friendlier blue sky place instead of Elonnistan? Connect with me if you do research on topics of social psychology, specifically #trust, #scienceskepticism and #citizenscience 😊

Many are cynical about dental "breakthroughs" because similar claims have been made for years without tangible products emerging. It's tough to distinguish real progress from hype when past promises fizzle out. What makes this different? #ScienceSkepticism 2/6

Exploring the edges of belief with the Flat Earth theory. Are we really just ignoring the curve or is it a broader mistrust in science at play #FlatEarth #ScienceSkepticism #Conspiracy

Radical right now supposedly pushing for taking back #BolognaProcess and reinstating outdated Austrian higher education degrees. #ScienceSkepticism meets #EUSkepticism.

The far-right FPÖ supposedly wants to restrict ENG in academic research & make GER the sole research language in AT. Nothing says commitment to excellence like isolating Austrian science from the global community. Tell me you don’t care about scientific progress w/o telling me… 🫣 #ScienceSkepticism

Wer die Forschung dazu nötigt, nur mehr in der Landessprache zu publizieren, torpediert jeden intellektuellen Fortschritt. Aber vielleicht gibt es ja Gründe dies zu tun? #Dummheit #scienceSkepticism

Thread 5/5: 🧬 Amber's preservation capabilities for proteins remain debated.

While promising, paleoproteomics requires exceptional methodology to distinguish genuine ancient proteins from contamination. Let's wait for peer review and independent verification. #paleoproteomics #scienceskepticism 🙂
