Dr Schwartau is back! Unfortunately, the heat and the fact that we don’t usually water our garden severely minimized the cherry harvest. But the few survivors are top quality!

My new Experiment on 4e cognition. Result: several hours of hard yakka in the garden can change your perspective on the use of Roundup considerably 😂
Daughter woke me up this morning saying, “Daddy, play ‘Walking on, walking on,” by which she means this specific performance of Annie Lennox doing “Walking on Broken Glass” on Jools Holland. I guess I’m doing something right.

Many of us were taught experiments are for testing hypotheses. In Ch 1 of Experimentology, our free, open methods textbook, my coauthors and I argue differently: experiments are for estimating the magnitude of causal effects. This reframing has important consequences. 🧵 experimentology.io

Kann man sich nicht ausdenken: "Wir sind hier in DO zum Halten gekommen. Leider ist unser Triebwagenführer verschwunden. Er wird jetzt händeringend gesucht. Die Leitstelle ist informiert. Wenn er wieder da ist, setzen wir die Fahrt fort... "
Just a wild thought, totally unrelated to some future events. The German Research Council decided not to fund any scientific activities that in any way involve collaboration with Russia as aggressor. Debatable, but anyhow. The US attacks on Iran can also be seen as acts of aggression. Same rules?

this may sound kind of silly, but: just tried rumpsteak from the airfryer and it was excellent!!! Perfectly medium rare, super simple and even looked kind of nice. The only thing you might miss are some these roasting/caramel flavors... but then... 98/100.K2 loved it, if that says something.
