Not sure it's shocking, but definitely seems to confuse people: Psychiatrist = Doctor who specialises in mental disorders Psychologist = Scientist who studies the mind Neurologist = Doctor who specialises in neurological disorders Neuroscientist = Scientist who studies the brain

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. I will no longer be reviewing for any journals that use 'Editorial Manager' as their interface. I've just had a week of back-and-forth with editorial assistants and multiple failed login attempts just to submit a review that I really didn't want to do in the first place.

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Myself and the mighty @robincarhartharris.bsky.social have a new book chapter out... except you can get a PDF, so it's kinda like a paper? I don't know... Anyway, it's on psychedelics and human neuroimaging: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The same way a lot of people didn't realize how big the QAnon problem was until those fuckers literally stormed the capital, I fear we're a year or two away from a shocking discovery of just how many "seemingly normal" people have lost their minds "talking" with ChatGPT.

Check this out: the runtimes of the no. 1 songs for each year show a clear trend towards longer songs until around 1990, and since then they’ve been going down again. But here’s what caught my eye: they’ve excluded two songs because they’re too long. 1972’s “American Pie” & “All Too Well” by Taylor

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Nice write-up by @psypost.bsky.social on our latest paper on psilocybin vs. escitalopram for depression and the distinct mechanisms behind their effects: www.psypost.org/psilocybin-a... #neuroskyence

This new article in the Journal of Eating Disorders seems to uncritically portray psilocybin as a truth serum that can accurately recover "historical autobiographical material" from repressed traumatic memories... What could possibly go wrong? jeatdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

One way of thinking about it is, why wouldn’t I use ChatGPT to write a paper? 1. It’s a matter of self-respect. 2. I believe my writing says something basic about who I am. 3. I believe research and writing are valuable activities. +

‘Scrap’ as in not implement them in the first place. This will only lower prices compared to what they would have been had the checks been introduced next month. So it’s very much a notional saving and continuation of business as usual. 🤷‍♂️ #BrexitReality #EUReset

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...
