If you read my work, I have always loved using em-dashes. Now I actually go through & replace them with semicolons or parentheses (even when dashes would be better) because people assume they are AI Reminds me of the great Delve Collapse - use of the word dropped after it became associated with AI.

Can anyone recommend books about the economy & society of the countries of the former "Eastern Block"? 🤔 Especially the periods 1985-1991 & 1991-2010s. I'm curious about Russia/Soviet Union in general but also particular countries like Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova. #EconSky #BookSky #History #NAFO

Honestly, this kind of thinking is part of what's made the political climate in the U.S. so toxic. Centrists stand for democracy—not the authoritarian kind disguised as "people’s rule"—but real democratic values, grounded in egalitarianism and progress.

While ideal impact factor is well known to be a bad proxy of article quality, it is less well known that actual impact factor is negotiated and gamed by journals. You think Nature earned that impact factor? You think that's air you're breathing? (see e.g. journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...)

How do structural incentives, such as job scarcity and metric-based evaluation, shape the questions scholars ask, the methods they use to answer them, and the outlets they prioritize to publish their work? We have an updated draft answering these questions: osf.io/preprints/os...

Do profs respond to student evaluations? On average? Nope. Those who have a more positive view of their own teaching do. But all of these responses are driven by the female teachers. "Male teachers appear to be unresponsive to student feedback." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I think we should also let Americans list all their social media usernames or handles and deny them access to the EU if they have spouted MAGA conspiracy theories.

🚨🚨🚨Blockbuster paper out today! Bear with me as I explain why this one is so important. 🤔 The economic anger about immigration is based on the false notion that immigrants take jobs or lower wages. A major misunderstanding behind this view is that immigrants only increase the supply of labor.

Large parts of American society are, unfortunately, still in "this can't happen here" mode.

That’s unfortunately true. Be especially wary of scientists who comment extensively outside their field of expertise or adopt an overly activist stance.

On the contrary, I find it incredibly tedious when, after reading the abstract and introduction, I still have no idea what the paper is actually about.

Not feeding into the Bluesky debate but I would love to see more academics sharing papers on here. Revive the ‘ol “here’s a thread about this paper” thing. I think it’s good for the information ecosystem.

the level of misinformation sparked because of this bananas EEG preprint is just really tragic. By the way if you think that a researcher caused cognitive decline to happen to participants in a study you should probably be freaked out by that
