“When I see people watching the horrible tragedy that is happening here as if it were a Super Bowl of victimhood, in which you support one team and really don’t care about the other, empathy becomes very, very selective. You see only some pain. You don’t want to see other pain.”

The Israeli writer Etgar Keret has spent the last few weeks trying to make sense of the violence and loss around him. So far, he can’t.

I think this is a really great thread that describes a significant problem and ways to deal with it.
My take is that we make mistakes all the time, and we need to correct them, when they occur.
Journal editors should make this a priority. My impression is that they generally do not.

PREPRINT ALERT
Have you ever feared a massive mistake hidden in your published analysis? In this preprint I uncover and correct a tragedy I found while re-analyzing open data by other researchers. Let me summarize this story, which taught me a lot about research and #openscience: psyarxiv.com/usjkn/

I could not be less surprised by this. I am a data point. I've watched so many (and I mean TOO MANY) of my women colleagues experience the same. Women networks in academia are so fragile because there's never a sense of security or permanence. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
