Universities show their true colors during crises so I'm proud to read that my US employer, Yale School of Medicine, is funding faculty whose labs have been hit by political meddling In addition to bridge funding I gather Yale lawyers are directly challenging anti-science actions in Washington

I have decided that encoding movie formats was a mistake. A series of jpgs and an audio file, that's all it should ever have been. (Yes, I have been wrestling with Python libraries for movie playback, why do you ask)

Good start. Keep going.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but a private officer of the executive branch taking over the system that disburses money according to the laws that congress has passed is the textbook definition of a constitutional crisis, yes? And yet I have not seen the term used even once today.

Academic workers across the country are organizing to call on our congressional representatives on Thursday, 1/30, at 3pm ET / 12pm PT to demand these restrictions be lifted immediately. There will be a training over zoom at the beginning of the event. Join us! form.jotform.com/250226137228...

Just reflecting that one of the reasons my immigration to Austria came with very generous perks is that they are still undoing the fascism-generated brain drain that turned a country that was basically a Nobel prize factory into a wasteland for science.

Does anyone know if there are conversations about organizing scientists through our societies (e.g., Cog Dev, SRCD, or cog sci?). To put pressure on our politicians about NIH/NSF? I can't find it, but saw someone who used to work in the capitol blue-skied this could be an effective strategy.

Does the culture you grow up in shape the way you see the world? In a new Psych Review paper, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I tackle this centuries-old question using the Müller-Lyer illusion as a case study. Come think through one of history's mysteries with us🧵(1/13):

Attn #CogSci #PsychSci colleagues: What textbook would you recommend for an introduction to cognitive science course for students who will not have taken any related intro courses (psychology, linguistics, compsci) beforehand?

Canceled my WaPo subscription after the non-endorsement, because it was clear that the oligarch in charge would use the paper as a platform for the regime. Set up a monthly donation to Wikipedia instead.

I checked myself to be sure, and yes, this is real. The ADL has been questionable for a while, but this is explicitly selling out the safety of American Jews just to preserve some kind of political relevance. They are vichy mamzers who don't deserve the slightest bit of legitimacy or respect.

Non-passionate minds also welcome at this point, mind you. But seriously - reviewing CogSci papers is a great way to quickly learn about a bunch of new work and provide constructive feedback that helps folks refine their work!

I have got to say, @openmindjournal.bsky.social has the most user-friendly article submission system I have ever dealt with. Clear instructions, simple and straightforward interface. Took me all of 15 minutes, when I usually block an hour of my schedule to wrestle editorial manager to the ground.

The whole thread is good but i wanted to highlight this point. I think this may be an unavoidable problem at some level, but it's a problem worth considering.

Three ManyBabies projects - big collaborative replications of infancy phenomena - wrapped up this year. The first paper came out this fall. I thought I'd take this chance to comment on what I make of the non-replication result. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/laur...

Glad to see this out in print! I've been involved from the early stages because I built a custom version of PyHab for it. There are a lot of complex challenges doing these kinds of multi-lab studies, but it was a great experience and something I'd be happy to be involved with again in the future
