For those of you who had the Frontiers family of journals as the first quasi-reputable* journals to be utter enshittified by AI editorial systems, you're today's lucky winner. Thread. *this has been debatable since their inception, but they somehow have always attracted good authors.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

I wrote a tiny LaTeX package that creates a wordcount environment. You can use it to auto-print word counts, when paring down text to meet limits. For example: \begin{wordcount}{\abstractcount} This is my abstract. \end{wordcount} \textbf{Word count:} \abstractcount % prints 4 Source code below…

Nonnumerical stimuli exert surprisingly strong behavioral control in an unconstrained numerical discrimination learning task

Does number exert greater behavioral control during numerical discrimination learning than do nonnumerical properties of multi-stimulus arrays? Existi…

Ger man vild natur en chans så kommer arter tillbaka, i höga tätheter: "Instead, the decisive factor appears to be the sudden absence of people. Hunting stopped. Roads fell apart. Farming ceased. Human disturbance – often the most consistent pressure on large wildlife – dropped almost overnight."
