Two years after the Prime Minister said he'd ban teens from social media, 80% of them are still on there. No policy is going to be perfect from the get go, but it's worth considering the time and effort put towards this instead of other reforms.

More than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report finds

The report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

Happy 108th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social

the real story behind this viral photo is even more heartbreaking than the one the public created.

“You cannot blame a scientist for unconsciously resisting a theory which may, in some cases, render his entire life’s work obsolete.” Martin Gardner (1952)

On today's #WomenInMusic Spotlight, we feature Emma Bell Miles (1879-1919), who did the hard work of tramping through the Appalachians, collecting women's mountain songs and preserving them in her 1905 classic text The Spirit of the Mountains, which launched a movement. #MusicSky #BookSky

There is more, but I'll stop because I need to sleep. My personal take: biology is complicated, men and women have more in common than not, and anyone looking for a simple story about sex and the brain is probably going to be frustrated by the reality. I'll end with two quotes from the study: 17/n

Dal Domenicale di oggi leggo la recensione al libro di Marco Rossi Doria, "Scuola. Educare quando tutto sta cambiando" e lo metto nella lista di letture. "Per fortuna in queste pagine non c’è nessuna demonizzazione degli strumenti che oggi sono le nostre protesi abituali, né verso la Ai. Anzi."

Have people stopped trusting science? The data tell a surprising story

Some say there’s a global crisis of trust — but research reveals where the real problems lie.

I wrote this essay to correct recent obituaries of Craig Venter, which overstate the significance of his human genome sequencing work, repeating the hype and exaggerated promises of his own self-promotion, which was designed to fuel speculative investment in his biotech companies

@jonothingeb.bsky.social, on Craig Venter's life and science under neoliberalism.

In the early 20th century, the telephone was advertised as a cure for loneliness - especially for rural women. Bit ironic today, given the links we now draw between phones and loneliness.

This book is so bad that when my colleagues and I (all trauma specialists specifically in IPV/SV) read it for our office book club we could hear each other yelling about it through the walls. Fuck this book and this man's shitty fucking science and gross ass writing.

Goodness me what bollocks. Of both kinds. Neuro- and AI-bollocks. Tell me how the 30 neurons in the lobster‘s stomach do what they do, lads - dig out the “core algorithm” of that and we might be getting somewhere...

In 1908 the Lancet called for an 18+ age limit on reading in bed for U.K. children.

We must make the online world safer for children and young people, but a social media ban alone might not achieve that. Experience from Australia suggests that compliance with the ban is low because young people remain online if their peers do - they don't want to miss out on social connections. 3/4
