Here is what i think the head-to-head comparison of ResearchBox vs Zenodo look like as OSF replacements. If I am missing an important attribute, let me know, will update accordingly.
Interesting thread about the narrative that sign language education is more expensive
lmfao dude the opposite is true. The issue is that the cost centers are spread out for oralist education rather than for deaf- or sign-language-centric education in the USA.

Jenni Sander's PhD manuscript was approved yesterday (hooray!). To celebrate I thought I'd share a thread of her publications to date. Her work is on the challenge of reference - how children learn to connect novel labels with their referent objects - in both spoken and sign languages. 1/
It’s interesting to reconcile the idea that LLMs learn and use language just like humans do with the fact that their training and data storage needs are so resource-intensive they’re going to destroy the planet.
🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/
Whoever designed the recommendation letter forms that make the assumption that I categorize my students into percentiles of how they rank among all students I've ever taught: I rank you in the bottom 1% of all survey designers.

Avoiding unintended consequences: science of reading policies may harm deaf children
Abstract. Many U.S. policies inspired by the Science of Reading rest on two assumptions: (1) skilled reading always involves automatic mapping between writ

As a deaf person with a deaf kid, I'm the first to admit IDEA isn't perfect. I fight people's (often willful) misinterpretations of the Least Restrictive Environment every day. Just gave a lecture at BU about how change is needed. Deleting all legal oversight in the middle of the night isn't it.
@clauslamm.bsky.social & I contributed to a global study that analyzed 21 million trials across 30 languages, revealing semantic priming [SP] as a robust cognitive mechanism across cultures and writing systems. Lead by @aggieerin.bsky.social and @slewis5920.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Using standardized ERPCore tasks, our new study shows subtle but consistent neural adaptations in visual recognition, attention, motor preparation or memory updating in deaf ASL signers, possibly due to lifelong experience with visual communication. Poster A48 🙂 with @erinecampbell.bsky.social

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%. #NASADidThat
At the Science Fair for canceled grants, I had the privilege of speaking with @naomicaselli.bsky.social. Her team (which includes deaf researchers) were making breakthroughs to better identify & address language deprivation — when the Trump administration terminated their grant.
Okay y’all, gather round for a chat. It’s been a roller coaster, and I thought I’d share what we’ve learned. 🧵 (1/16) bsky.app/profile/luck...
