"Science is not broken, and it most certainly is not dying. It is an inefficient human activity....When we catastrophize, we feed a disillusionment which political actors can weaponize to get rid of scientific evidence they find inconvenient."

Difficult for me to put into words how disappointed I am in Sabine Hossenfelder. Many years back when she was just blogging about physics I was a huge fan, and she published a lot of intriguing papers. Now she makes money as a social media arsonist. 🧪 www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

Kudos to you! Was just saying I do feel good to edit a nice paper and have it accepted. I have also been more selective with accepting review invitations lately. Although if I am late (and if I even remember that I am late) I usually let the editor know.

Dear other editors, this is unfortunately not an invitation to send me more review invitations. I am spent!

I sent out two positive editorial decisions last week and accepted two review invitations today. What do I get for trading in these karma points?

📽️ We have an official video for the European Association of Social Psychology (EASP) summer school 2025! Not only does it show my face as a still (why, oh why??), it also features my best take on #socialpsychology yet... youtu.be/JDcGJJuyRto?...

The last guardian is just an insult. Why would it show up there like that? It might be game breaking for me - to go deal with the widow, get the bells, and no hint of another boss then BAM.
Not that other guy, that's for sure@neogliberal.bsky.social
Maybe I'll eat my hat on this, but Silksong isn't notably harder than the original Hollow Knight. I'm not a 'get good' kinda guy, but I don't see what everyone is complaining about. (Yet?). Like the original: if you can't do an area, back off, go upgrade, and come back with a new ability.

may help to ease distress. It can be hard for people who aren't neurodivergent to conceptualise what it's like to lose yourself in masking. But for a lot of autistic people it seems to be something so heartbreakingly relatable. Autistic people are denied authenticity through discrimination

Essentially perpetual masking can make it hard to understand who you are, what you like, what your goals are or what you want across multiple domains in life, all to avoid stigma and discrimination from society. We need to change the world, but while it is changing, facilitating identity development

In our study, led by the amazing Taylor Burns, we found that masking of autistic traits may leave autistic people vulnerable to identity distress which in turn effects mental health. This means constantly adapting to neurotypical norms may make it hard for autistic people to hold on to who they are
Durham University@durham-university.bsky.social
New research involving @drmbothapsych.bsky.social in our @durhampsych.bsky.social finds that identity distress (where someone has difficulty forming a cohesive sense of identity) is at the heart of higher rates of poor mental health experienced by autistic people. Find out more 👉 bit.ly/3KMtz88

Thanks Chris. Yes, I really appreciate the more nuanced takes re. transparency and trust.
FYI, I found this from Peterson and Panofsky (2021) on Shapin’s “Panopticon of Truth”!
doi.org/10.1177/0306...
![Beyond its epistemic value, replication has been of interest to sociologists as a social practice central to the organization of scientific communities. For Merton, the mere possibility of replication served a powerful social control function. Famously appealing to the ‘virtual absence of fraud in the annals of science’ (Merton, 1973: 276), he argued that replication kept scientists honest and careful and, thus, improved science as a whole. As Zuckerman (1977) later argued, the real power of replication is not in the replication itself, but in its anticipation. Given the risk of reputational damage, it is wiser to anticipate the threat of a failed replication and only share unimpeachable work. The idea that
scientists internalize feelings of ongoing surveillance leads Shapin (1994: 413) to quip that ‘The modern place of knowledge [in Merton’s account] appears not as a gentleman’s drawing room but as a great Panopticon of Truth’. Mutual surveillance and critique are the basis of a ‘hidden hand’ mechanism that supposedly aligns the selfish motives of the individual scientist with the social good by rewarding good science and punishing nonreplicable claims (Hull, 2001: 145).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4jb3re5tvklsvhuc3lkerj5q/bafkreid3tqlp77lxhizji5gcp6ilxfhgfinui6bzftpxkxxngrdobsijb4@jpeg)

I love Moana so much that I have never watched the sequel on principle. It could only ever disturb the emotional power of the original.
See also: my deep regret at having watched Frozen 2, Independance Day 2, and any of the Land Before Time sequels.

I'd love to know the tipping point of age and or experience where attitudes predict intentions. I also wonder whether authority scaffolding from adults (hostility, frustration, correcting) is a thing which builds up over time to change behaviour intentions to what we see in adulthood.

In school-aged children (N=37, age 5-12 years), "more negative first impressions of autistic compared to non-autistic children"? link.springer.com/article/10.1... "Children in this study rated the autistic children they viewed in brief video clips as more strange, mean, and less likeable..."?

It's a global problem!

Staff who leave UK universities report "the absence of an ethics of care within universities other than perhaps through collegiality (amidst crisis); the non-accountability among senior managers and dereliction of leadership." https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20230721132953122

"The relationship between explicitness and transparency on the one hand, and trust on the other, is far more complicated than advocates of open science tend to assume."
