    e no, niente di nuovo quando i giornali - oltre a dare notizie di false scoperte e a esaltare un nazionalismo fuori luogo - rappresentano le scienziate come eccezionali, superdonne, angeli, dream team rosa:

    My family and their community's beliefs have change over time, but there is still a distrust of science and medicine. It's made for tough conversations, particularly about hot-button issues such as vaccines. I wrote about it for :

    THIS IS THE OTHER THING Do you know how many *widely prescribed* and necessary medications have weight gain as a side-effect? A lot. I look up medication info nearly every day for work, and at least half can cause weight gain. Some of them cause diabetes too, for funsies.

    New episode available where I put Elon Musk’s business venture Neuralink under a spotlight. After you watch the video, feel free to keep the conversation going. Would you be willing to undergo surgery for the device created by Neuralink?

    My bet is on "participants fail to notice mismatches between what they choose and what they get, and then they confabulate tons of arguments to justify the mismatches". These kind of Cognitive Science studies are my guilty pleasure. They are so good🥰

    "From Theodore Roosevelt […] to the Freakonomics team a hundred years later, politicians and scientists have lapped up just-so stories of racial and gender essentialism, without being too picky about the strength of the scientific evidence being offered."

    It's alive! I wrote an article on Jeff Epstein, the MIT Media Lab, gee-whiz demos that don't work in real life, and the problem that unites them: Sugar Daddy Science.

    In case you need more evidence that Stallman (and his inner circle) is a super-creepy dude-bro. 👇👇👇

    Stallman is resigning from CSAIL at MIT. He claims it is due to "misunderstandings and mischaracterizations" of his words (fat chance). That is expected. Martyrdom is the safest way to acquire new privileges after you are caught red-handed and outed.

    The visual system of mice is different from primates and its architecture---especially its feedback connections---arent fully understood. X. Jia from the Allen Inst. uses single cell functional connectivity to understand interactions (shown: v1 and LM as sources)

    Long thread on scientific racism SCIENCE IS POLITICAL!!! Also, as I've always said, Steven Pinker is trash.

    I have talked for years about the toxic ideologies spread by Stallman, and how he smears the tech industry with his unscientific claims. But nobody listens, preferring instead to worship the bozos.

    Richard Stallman, the MIT guy that years ago wrote that children with Down syndrome should be killed 'cause they are more akin to "pets" than humans, now defends and the power of lolis. Twitter is strangely mum on this news.

    In case you weren't aware, Epstein's case isn't an exception. A lot of "philanthropists" use their money to fund fake science as a way to improve their reputation. Often, sci-institutions prefer to do "respectability-laundering" rather than doing science because it pays better
