Who else watched Severance and thought it was great? @rachaelelward.bsky.social and I liked it so much we wrote an article for @uk.theconversation.com, thinking about what science might be behind the fictional Severance procedure. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it!

We Europeans (including the UK) have no time to be depressed, to be angry, or to be scared. Too much time has been wasted over the past two years. No more burying one’s head in the sand, no more hoping for the best. Time to step up. For our security, for Ukraine, for our future.

I was shocked to hear that eLife will be replacing Michael Eisen @mbeisen.bsky.social as the journal's Editor in Chief for reposting a tweet by the Onion about the loss of lives among Palestinian civilians. I just sent in my resignation from my membership on eLife's Ethics Committee. /

So happy to see this paper finally out - a model that explains the recency effect in choice, supported by both behavioural and fMRI data; thanks to the co-authors and especially Aldo Rustichini, the brain behind this! journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #CogScience #BehEcon

Most academics know that MDPI is not the most reputable publisher but this is particularly grim: a special issue in which 27th of the 28th papers are authored by the two guest editors. https://www.mdpi.com/journal/processes/special_issues/Biologics_Botanicals
