Proud to share our new publication led by Dr. Nuria Sánchez on wrongful convictions in Spain (1996–2022). Of the 243 overturned cases, most errors stemmed from professional misconduct. We recommend stronger legal representation, better training, and tighter forensic protocols.Link: shorturl.at/5Kd2O

It is imperative that scientists not remain silent on “controversial” issues to maintain an appearance of being neutral, or say, apolitical. Nor should they give in to political censorship or censor themselves due to dogmatism.

"Although participants were made aware that the consensus from scientists is that non-verbal lie detection is futile, the inclusion of balanced comments alongside the data still decreased perceived scientific consensus" (Han, Snook, & Day, 2025)

Intelligence isn’t a substitute for knowledge. Being smart doesn’t mean you’ve taken the time to be informed.

Knowledge isn’t a substitute for wisdom. Being informed doesn’t mean you’ve developed good judgment.

Good judgment requires the humility to know what you don’t know.
