The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

Very excited to see our paper on aging&cognitive skills out in the neuroscience section of Science Advances 🎉
@science.org

We show that usage of skills seems to be the key to maintaining them 💡

Great collaboration with my co authors E.A. Hanushek, F. Witthöft and @woessmann.bsky.social!

🚨 Thrilled that our 🆕 paper
“Age and Cognitive Skills: Use It or Lose It”
just came out in #ScienceAdvances @science.org

💡 Longitudinal evidence: age pattern of literacy+numeracy not as bleak as cross-section suggests + strongly differs by skill usage

Female content creators on YouTube received significantly more negative feedback for comparable content.

But the removal of public display of dislikes eliminated this gender gap and persistently increased female creator productivity and consumer demand.
