Actually, I reposted your own post instead. I didn't know you were one of the finalists! Good luck!

This is great. I played Wordle this morning, but didn't notice this NYT article. Thanks!
I'll quote this message and share a "gift article" version so that non-NYT subscribers can also enjoy the article.

I have my own favorites, but won't say anything now to avoid biasing your votes. It'd be fun, though, to compare notes once the voting is over & the winner is announced.
As somebody who isn't artistic at all, I wonder how they invented these creative illusions. That's what I want to know.

Yes, thanks for mentioning this! I noticed this voting opportunity a bit after I made my initial post. I'll make a follow-up post w/ the link.

After examining the pictures of my two cats, I see substantial within-individual variability for both. In particular, my girl cat Tiger exhibits both sleeping patterns equally frequently. This finding calls for a more rigorous study (EMA?) & suggests a need to explore situational influences.

Great news. Congrats, @marthaalibali.bsky.social!

I've forgotten about this one. I'll add that to the thinking section.

I don't know what your favorite psychology topics are, so it's hard to give you recommendations that best suit your interests. But I enjoyed Charan Ranganath's "Why We Remember," Woo-Kyoung Ahn's "Thinking 101," Wendy Wood's "Good Habits, Bad Habits," & Todd Rose's "End of Average." Check them out.

P.S. I'd like to add one last post to this🧵& share this terrific quote👇 from @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social.
What a great way to think about language-related struggles many non-native English speakers experience! Such a mindset shift should benefit both non-fluent & fluent/native speakers alike!

When I heard that "rog" sentence during my walk, I had to stop, rewind, & listen to it again. It was funny. Must have been tough not to laugh.

I've never written and posted a review on Amazon before, but let me see what I can do.
FYI, I'll be incorporating some ideas/findings discussed in your book into some of my cog psych lectures this fall (those on not just language but also attention & effective learning).

Thank YOU & your colleagues for having a clear vision & making coordinated efforts to implement those specific changes derived from that vision. It's truly inspiring!

You did a great job of narrating your own book!
I wonder, though, how many takes you needed to successfully complete the reading of that sentence involving "rog" & their variants (rôg, rrôg, rrôgg, rrôôg, etc.) in the language change chapter.....😂

I just realized that I had forgotten to say that Maryellen did a great job of narrating her own book. I enjoyed listening to her voice during my morning walks.

I know doing all of these right away isn't feasible for psych confs. But if we're interested in studying cultural universality/specificity, promoting globalization of science, & supporting ECRs w/ diverse backgrounds, we should learn from such amazing efforts by our bio colleagues. BRAVO! 👏🎉 (10/10)

This simultaneous language translation/transcription service made it possible for multiple ECRs to present their work in the language they feel most comfortable with. You can see 👇 an example of the live translation of a talk given in Bahasa Indonesian into English & Japanese, respectively. (9/10)

What blew my mind away, though, is that #ICCB2025 offered LIVE, REAL-TIME English transcription/translation services for their oral presentations via their conference app. That's truly unbelievable! 🤯 (8/10)

They also try to provide (via short videos) personal tips & suggestions for the first-time attendees to international conferences. Those big international conferences can be scary (esp. if you don't know anybody there). I'm sure these personal tips would help them feel welcome. (7/10)

This sort of support for reducing language barriers starts early. This #ICCB2025 website, for example, describes what sort of support interested ECRs can expect (e.g., support for abstract submission for non-native English speakers). (6/10)

The biology conservation folks have also established a "buddy" system to support non-native English speakers at conferences. For example, they offered personal translation support for non-fluent ECR poster presenters at their conference. (5/10)

For example, they have developed & disseminated the guidelines for giving linguistically friendly presentations in English for the #ICCB2025 conference (available as a Word file & an infographic). This is something that can readily adopted in psychology conferences. (4/10)

In the same @plosbiology.org paper (tinyurl.com/yc4nm8he), Amano et al. made several suggestions for making conferences more friendly to ECRs not yet fluent in English (see the bottom row 👇). What I find impressive is that the conservation biology folks have been implementing their own recs. (3/10)

This effort has been spearheaded by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social. If you're a native speaker or already fluent in English, you might not consider your English proficiency a privilege, but it actually is. Being non-fluent in English comes w/ many disadvantages, as shown👇 (tinyurl.com/yc4nm8he). (2/10)

@yukomunakata.bsky.social also introduced me to Minute Cryptic during my Davis visit last month, but I haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

You’ll find the learning chapter especially interesting, then. Enjoy!
