Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Interesting and relevant, @damcotto.bsky.social
Akira Miyake@amiyake.bsky.social · last yr.If you're curious about Bunge's (2024) paper, here is the link (open access): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
