Americans who think British people wear cardigans and turtlenecks all year don’t know those knitwear are 60% wool and 40% mildew.
No matter how dry I keep my sweaters, they sit in the closet and come out smelling damp 🥲

One of the best things I did in Amsterdam is to tell students that I’d make the taped lectures only available to them when the average turnout at lectures was 67%. Taught them a lesson on collective goods and coordination. It worked!

'It is no secret that student attendance has plummeted in recent years, with near-empty lecture halls a staple of the post-pandemic world.'

Really? I lecture to all our 1st years. Lecture hall is full, not near-empty. Student engagement picked up last year and (early days) seems stronger again. 1/2

The discussion 👇 is good. I wish people would spill more tea about how journals work behind the scenes, the operation, the biz to keep it goin’, how to keep submissions coming in and also balance with the demands etc. I don’t know what I am expecting but I want more cause I know nothing!

Matti Vuorre @matti.vuorre.com · 1d

This is really nice.

But at the same time it is sad that a separate journal for replications is needed. Replications are not a different kind of thing but instead a foundational aspect of normal run of the mill science biz. We should not reinforce the idea that they should be treated differently.

Hi everyone, after 6 months, this film production is now ready! 🥳 The Common Films www.commonfilms.co team did an amazing job so I highly recommend them if you are thinking of doing something similar for your research.

The series has 5 parts. This is part 1, so follow the lab's page for more 👇

Solitude Lab @thesolitudelab.bsky.social · 1d

We believe that finding restorative #solitude is much more than just making the time for yourself; it's also about having people that support you to have that time.

This Family Recharge series aims at helping #parents reframe me-time. This is a collab with Common Films, led by UCL Dr Paul Craddock.

This caught my attention; the paper is proposing the circumflex model of affect for fish. As a non-native speaker, I also thought it's always "fish" and never "fishes" but anyway...

Perhaps my retirement project would look at the deactivation effect of solitude in fish.

Had a great time at the ESM Expert Network Meeting in Rotterdam! I presented the first SHARE study results: we found that paying participants per beep boosts compliance as compared to bulk payment (with or without personalised feedback)—and without harming data quality.

Updates on my #Vietnam trip: I met with students at Vietnam National University who will help with my project looking at stress biomarkers 😊 While #psychology research in VN is still young, biology is quite research-active. The students will also use this data for their UG theses.

This time I also figured out public transportation to the university, thanks to the new metro line going directly from the city centre. The National University has its own stop. It is great that the city prioritizes building this line first thing to make it convenient for the students to commute.

Ah ok, good to know. I read that to mean they are anti-PCI rather than anti-preprint.

I wasn’t aware Wiley is anti-preprint 🤔 . I published there recently and shared preprint of the manuscript as well as the postprint.

I am at a beach 2 hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, #Vietnam. I am still jet lagged, have been awake since 2am 🥱 so I thought I will go see the sunrise. It’s 5am now; the locals are already out and about for their morning exercise even on weekends.

Oh what you said speaks to me! Psychosomatic symptoms are my life 😅 so I learned this since college and I agree with you wholeheartedly. What I didn’t know was services I have access to in the UK for free (in US it was all private) so going through Occupational Health helps with those resources too!
