Less helpful now that citation software like Zotero exists, but i just discovered that cmd-T (or cntrl-T) auto-indents your citations. It's the small things sometimes...

“Research is essential to the task of humanistic formation, even at a teaching-focused college… a prime opportunity to promote the virtues academics are best positioned to model for students: curiosity, persistence, devotion to the truth, and humility in the face of everything we do not know”

The tension between teaching and scholarship is not as acute as critics pretend.

The drama of the Senegal-Belgium game makes me understand why straight men love sports. As good as any reality TV show.

do people know about china's data sovereignty law? says that data can't leave china. seems like a major issue for cross-cultural work/cross-national collaborations...

Had fun chatting with Deon about the work my lab does, and the journey to get there!

The It's Innate! Podcast@theitsinnatepc.bsky.social · 2mo ago

New ep! 🚨 Deon chatted with Dr. Ryan Lei (ryanlei.bsky.social) about his academic journey, his work on intersectionality & intersectional invisibility, & SLACs. Plus, we discuss how race impacts kid's gender categorizations. And of course, plenty of mechanism talk! itsinnate.fireside.fm/41

anybody in my network do YPAR? Would love to chat with you if you do!

I went to go look, and this time last year, NSF SBE had funded 216 awards. This year, they have funded 2.

This is, not hyperbolically, catastrophic

The NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...

I'm at the point of writing where I think nothing I do is interesting. What is this pathology?

Maybe it's because i'm writing a paper about ethics but we're re-watching Grey's anatomy from the beginning and Izzie Stephens is so un-ethical is makes my blood boil

I am generally a big fan of @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social's perspectives but today, I am not sorry to say #COYR

I like the science my lab does and I think it's more important to do now than ever, but uhh...also I'm kinda into event planning (e.g., workshops, conferences)? Did not really expect that to be my post-tenure exploration

I was in the Olympics

Tell me a random fact about yourself that sounds fake but is 100% true.

One thing that I'm increasingly concerned about is people using face database faces in ways that are likely way beyond the scope of what the participants consented to. I hear plenty of discussion around (un)ethical use of AI in writing, but this facet of the AI revolution feels less discussed.

this is so, so sick

Have been thinking of writing something that argues the underrepresentation of non-white samples in dev psych is because of embedded cultures of whiteness into structures -- particularly the primacy of the nuclear family. But where to send something like that

The genius of Jim Sidanius was (among other things) identifying social dominance orientation as a way that people approach the world.

You’ll feel less confused if you admit to yourself that some people don’t care about the suffering of others, and some people like it.

Somebody (maybe on here?) recently called airport lounges upper middle class golden corral and this could not be more accurate

Project Implicit is facing an existential threat. After almost 30 years, 60 million visitors, and hundreds of published papers, funding for our work has disappeared. We’ve never held a fundraising drive before, but we need your support to keep our site running. Please consider donating! 🙏
