Putting myself out there a bit. Honest request from an open-source developer: Can I please ask you to encourage people you know to stop with the "any updates on this?" discussion post? Every post like that genuinely makes me die inside a little bit. I'll try to explain in this thread. 1/

Our mini review in JEP: Animal Learning & Cognition is now online ahead of print. It's a concise and hopefully thought-provoking discussion of our work over the past couple decades on interoceptive conditioning with nicotine. Also featuring a recurring vignette that we had far too much fun writing.
