First paper is out! Here, we suggest that meritocracy doesn’t just justify inequality—it mediates how we respond to it.

Paper title page, 'From Perceived Economic Inequality to Support for Redistribution: The Role of Meritocracy Perception.'

If you also want organisations with a spine who can speak truth to power when atrocities take place, then sign the petition and boycott the next #ISPP conference unless its current leadership decides to condemn the genocide in Gaza. Enough is enough.

¿¡ Pero qué es esto de marcar como "contenido para adultos" la nota de prensa de una revisión sistemática sobre la menstruación @bsky.app , @moderation.bsky.app ?!

Fatal lo de favorecer mitos, desinformación, tabús y estigma en torno a la salud y bienestar de la población menstruante.

Hilo de bluesky de la cuenta del centro de investigación mete, cerebro y comportamiento en el que explican los hallazgos de una revisión sistemática sobre creencias y prácticas dañinas sobre la menstruación. Junto al link de la nota de prensa aparece un aviso de bluesky que marca como "contenido para adultos" el enlace.

Too many people fail to understand the role poverty plays in chronic illness.

Money can’t buy health or happiness, but a lack of money can make your health worse & life harder.

Universal healthcare & basic income would do more to create a healthier society than all the “wellness” in the world.

TLDR: Academics from low-income backgrounds are more like to push the needle on science, but less likely to receive credit for doing so. 🥴

#econsky #academicsky

Florian Ederer @florianederer.bsky.social · Dec 23

Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to
- not publish
- have outstanding publication records
- introduce more novel scientific concepts
- less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.
