        @sapinker It's pretty clear he paid for fake followers to inflate his number.

        @sapinker @SamHarrisOrg Your follows/followers ratio is dominant. Also tweets/followers ratio. Also quality of tweets. Also published works.

        @sapinker Also missing @danieldennett on that list, should be on the 8th spot if I'm not mistaken.

        @empday Dennett isn't a psychologist or a neuroscientist: that explains why he's not on that list.... ;)

        @MarcCountry I know, but he's a cognitive scientist who writes better about science of consciousness & cultural evolution than anyone else:)

        @MarcCountry Not interested of twitter popularity among scientists. Much more interested in impact/clarity/quality. Not a long list, 5-10ish
