A wonderful first #MCLS2026! The science was great, the heatwave not so much xD Presented my work on mental & visual representations of ordinality in arithmetic word problems. Great discussions and conversations! Looking forward to the next one! @mcls-official.bsky.social @hippgros.bsky.social

Once again, I had a blast at #MCLS2025! First time participating in a symposium so aligned with my research interests (“Representations of ordinality”). Huge thanks to Maria Brandao for organizing it, and to all the brilliant speakers: @lillyroth.bsky.social, Francesco Sella, and Maria herself

French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated. Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Great PhD opportunity in the team I recently joined here in Marseille: exciting ERC-funded project on thought without language (🐝 & 🐒), amazing people, and the Mediterranean weather isn’t bad either! 😉☀️

I am looking for a PhD student to work on my ERC-funded project to investigate the format of thought in the absence of language in baboons and bees. Details here: tinyurl.com/5ff9hcjj Apply here: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Docto...

New preprint: “Folk Thinking, Fast and Slow: Intuitive Preference for Deliberation in Humans and Machines” Pop culture often praises intuition (“Blink”, Steve Jobs). But do we really trust it? Across 13 studies, we find a strong intuitive preference for deliberation. tinyurl.com/8r54dmyn (1/6)

New paper alert ! 1/ 🚀 We recently discovered that Guinea baboons can recognize trends in scatterplots, using cues like the "t-value", to judge whether data is increasing or decreasing. Their performance shows surprising parallels with human statistical perception. 📊🐒
