Every week it seems more and more preposterous that I’m supposed to just go to work on Monday and talk about hypothesis testing as though everything is just normal and reasonable.

The three genders? #bucld50

I taught a graduate level Cognition class this past semester using OECS for the course materials. 10/10 do recommend!

If you haven't been looking recently at the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (oecs.mit.edu), here's your reminder that we are a free, open access resource for learning about the science of mind. Today we are launching our new Thematic Collections to organize our growing set of articles!

Well said. It was never about antisemitism. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/o...

At which point will we agree that we must consider going back to a hybrid option for academic conference attendance?

Everything feels awful but at least I can spend my next 60-ish hours refreshing Keith's page for Barkley updates.

After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

English pronouns always out here catching strays when there are much more elaborate systems that people could be worried about 😆

Common Classical Chinese pronouns: 6 pronouns for first person, 5 pronouns for second person, 5 for third person, 3 for referencing oneself, and endless forms of honorific and humble forms English speakers should not be complaining 😂

The Onion should buy Elsevier next

all jokes aside, we shouldn't forget the real Reason for the Season

Apparently when I agreed to review for #CogSci2024 I neglected to list my expertise. I see words I know but not how I understand they go together. …I have some apologetic emails to write.

IRB: do everything in your power to protect the confidentiality of participants. Controller’s Office: we’re going to need the name, SSN, mother’s maiden name, and first car of everyone who receives research participation fees. 🙃

Oh hey, this one was written by me (and my awesome co-authors)!

Today a child study participant told me that my prizes were boring and I should do something to make it up to her. In case you needed a reminder that academia requires a thick skin.

Feeling the #BUCLD fomo, as I take a desperately needed travel break this weekend and miss my first one in nearly a decade. Thanks for the semi-hybrid option!

I received an email this morning that signs off with “with sunshine,” and I want to know where they got this optimism from.

Hey #AcademicSky, what’s with faculty scheduling exams for a lot longer than their class period in the middle of the semester? I’m having to find alts for class participation for students who will miss due to exams in *other* classes. Feel disrespectful to the student and to me.

I will never get over leaf changing time in the Northeast.

Another great quote from an academic article: “Brain patterns composing an episode are often claimed to be measurable in principle, in terms of information processing or whatever.” (Pereira & Ricke, 2009)

Whose feral child is running around in the dirt with one shoe on? Oh wait. It’s mine.

Tortilla and I feel similarly about tomorrow being Monday.

You know we’re off to a good start when the first faculty meeting of the semester comes with a reminder not to name-call.

Friends, my research group is looking for someone to share their knowledge on SES constructs in research with us in a group meeting. If this is you or someone you know, msg me! Deaf and/or ASL signers especially welcome.

Arnold does not seem to care that fall classes start tomorrow and I am not ready.
