Our paper (first one in a journal as first author for me) is now out. 🙂

sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
(open access)

Thanks again to our incredible participants for all what they shared with us, which made writing this a very intense experience and at the same time facilitated it very much.

Screenshot of the details of the article linked:

"More than noise: Lived experiences of autistic people in real-life acoustic environments"

Highlights:

-Qualitative study based on the thematic analysis of interviews with 12 autistic adults living in the United Kingdom.

-There is a lack of understanding and acceptance towards autistic people and what they experience in relation to noise.

-The negative impact is experienced on a personal, social, educative and professional level since childhood.

-High sensitivity to sound can also lead to great pleasure of music and nature sounds.

-There is a need to increase auditory accessibility, as many daily life environments present important aural barriers.

"We document the participation of women in European academia [from the year 1000 to 1800]. A total of 108 women taught at universities or were members of academies of arts and sciences. Comparing them with 58,995 male scholars, we find that they were on average better."

A repetitive thing we hear a lot as women in cognitive sciences — which comes up especially when we talk to each other about our reviews, how peers talk to us, etc. — is our writing is not accessible, does this generalise to other fields? Weaponised "you're unclear" is so pathetic IMHO of course

Por lo que dices, parece que han copiado a los sistemas en UK (donde te dicen q te dejes de libros q no sean Routledge etc) y otros países europeos, supongo por "igualar" y q la gente pueda ir y venir sin unos criterios tan diferentes. Con cosas que tienen menos sentido? Aro, pa eso es la academia.

Just subscribed to the WA of a COST action project I participate in, and the only message for now was the reply of ChatGPT to the question "How has the issue of ... evolved in doctoral thesis in the last ten years?" that the admin (main PI) pasted.

No thoughts on even what's in/out of that reply. 🙈

And here is an interactive website with time-series data from 2000 to 2022: doughnuteconomics.org/doughnut

Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance - Nature

A revised ‘Doughnut’ providing a visual assessment of trends in social deprivation and planetary degradation over the past two decades shows more than doubling of global GDP accompanied by accelerating ecological overshoot but only a modest reduction in human deprivation.

One of the biggest dangers of AI is that it facilitates the concentration of the power to manipulate information flows, without any requirement to understand its content. This process has been ongoing for decades (e.g. the failure to control COVID is a direct result), but LLMs are accelerating it.

Happy International Women's Day!

On the video call, tensions rose. At one point, Lidia Morawska, a revered atmospheric physicist who had arranged the meeting, tried to explain how far infectious particles of different sizes could potentially travel. One of the WHO experts abruptly cut her off, telling her she was wrong, Marr recalls. His rudeness shocked her. “You just don’t argue with Lidia about physics,” she says.

Morawska had spent more than two decades advising a different branch of the WHO on the impacts of air pollution. When it came to flecks of soot and ash belched out by smokestacks and tailpipes, the organization readily accepted the physics she was describing—that particles of many sizes can hang aloft, travel far, and be inhaled. Now, though, the WHO’s advisers seemed to be saying those same laws didn’t apply to virus-laced respiratory particles. To them, the word airborne only applied to particles smaller than 5 microns. Trapped in their group-specific jargon, the two camps on Zoom literally couldn’t understand one another.

Le he puesto un comentario al autor. El estudio es de hace unos meses y se ve que ahora vendía más, pero lo bueno es que ya hay muchas críticas pq la metodología es muy dudosa. Lo malo es q han puesto comentarios de señores de corriente eugenésica y uno antivacunas y negacionista del Covid. 😳

Buenas @aberron.bsky.social, a este estudio no le has dado todas las vueltas necesarias. Por favor, lee y ve las críticas que hay de muchos expertos, q con este tema no se debe hacer clickbait por estar de moda. Los dos de UK citados son de la corriente eugenésica, y uno directamente antivacunas. :(

Los hogares ricos compran vivienda como inversión, aprovechando la alta rentabilidad del alquiler.

Esa demanda especulativa es clave en la crisis de vivienda.

Se puede solucionar con una ley que prohíba la compra de vivienda para fines no residenciales.

Los hogares ricos multiplican la compra de vivienda como inversión por la alta rentabilidad del alquiler

La adquisición inmobiliaria ya explica casi un tercio del patrimonio de los hogares más pudientes de España, pero es inexistente o testimonial en los más pobres

Monotropism.org @monotropism.bsky.social · 15d

Ania Atkinson's chapter discusses the results of a study exploring monotropism among school students.

She looks at the joy, wellbeing and calmness associated with Autistic learners' intense interests.

Hers is one of two monotropism-themed chapters in this volume; several others also touch on it.

Joy is a concept that is so often missing from today’s society. We have become fixated with the daily
motions and rhythms of modern life that act to conform and restrain us. We live to work, to pay our
mortgages, to behave. Our children live to work, and to behave. We have become joyless. Anyone who
is themselves autistic or knows someone who is, will testify to the powerful joy that monotropic interests
can bring. There is something pure and whole about autistic joy, yet it is so frequently misunderstood
by non-autistic individuals (Kapp et al., 2019). Stimming is a dominant feature of autistic joy (Goodall,
2018), but it is a behaviour which can be discouraged by neuronormative society and seen as something
that should be suppressed (Kapp et al., 2019). Schools are under enormous pressure and may struggle
to keep the joy in learning when faced with so many competing and conflicting demands such as high accountability, workload and budget cuts

We need allies that accept the fact that not everyone is an ally.

This goes for everything, but today is on autism and employment.
