I've always liked the theory that academia is a mechanism to keep smart but economically unproductive people out of the workforce so we don't slow down the normies with our
"actually wait a minute it is more complicated than that"
New conspiracy theory just dropped:

What if peer review, committee meetings, strategic plans, promotion & tenure processes, and letter-writing requests are all part of a secret plot to keep smart, creative, active minds from thinking and writing the big ideas that would *really* change the world?

A short letter I wrote was published in today’s @nytimes.com .

With so much public discussion about AI and consciousness, I wanted to emphasize that the real transformation may be happening in us, not the machines.

This paper is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Very compelling evidence that the extensive covariance of diverse psychopathology is not an artifact of cross-sectional factor analysis.

They show extensive "co-morbidity" across generations and within-person, over time.

New paper led by @drlynam.bsky.social on the need for more training in and engagement with open science practices in clinical psych programs. It has been difficult to make progress due to a variety of barriers, including students working in labs uninterested or hostile to these approaches.

There's a really nice new study using phone data from Americans who relocated from one city to another to look at the effect of walkable environments on physical activity. E.g., people move TO New York and walk more, they move FROM New York and walk less www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Countrywide natural experiment links built environment to physical activity - Nature
By analysing the smartphone data of 2,112,288 participants, in particular observing and comparing the activity of the same individual in two different environments, we find that increases in the walkability of environments result in increases in daily physical activity, providing evidence of the importance of the built environment on physical health.
