Preprint out: in the first publication from my PhD project, we model how position and movement in an environment influence the networks that can form between individuals. Information flow is not just a result of behavior, but also of physical constraints https://t.co/ySV5Nk5TYn

In awe of the 17% of the British population who believe that Netanyahu hasn't committed any war crimes, but should be arrested by the British authorities anyway
UK polls show that: • 84% of the public think Netanyahu should be arrested if he comes to the UK • 67% think Israel has committed war crimes • 56% support blocking all arms sales to Israel The British public are on the right side of history. Our political leaders are not.

deliciously ironic how many people take a reasonable tweet (you shouldn't have to read every paper cited within the papers you cite) misread it as something else (you shouldn't have to read every paper you yourself cite) then wax smug about how people need to do better at reading
The idea that you can just cite someone else's paper to say anything you want, and then when people point out that it doesn't actually say what you claimed, you can just shrug and say "Well who has time to actually READ all those papers?", is just incredible.

Deep in the Amazon rainforest live a community where people age more slowly. Studies show the hearts and brains of Bolivia’s indigenous Tsimane people are the healthiest on the planet. What's their secret? 🫀🧠

Always funny to see populist conservatives make anti-immigration arguments based on social trust when urbane libs who encounter immigrants daily have 10x their social trust It's not a desire for a more trusting society, it's a demand that the low-trust be coddled
Mass illegal migration turns high-trust societies into low-trust ones. It turns coherent societies into incoherent ones. You can’t just address the backlash to that. You have to address the cause. Unless our leaders do that this will get infinitely worse.

This is like trying to solve the housing crisis by banning people from renting for more than 5 years
Germany tried this. It is a disaster. Pushes ppl out of research. The positions they are supposed to transition into don't exist. I can't keep my research team here because of arbitrary contract limits like this. Tragic and demoralizing for all of us. #WissZeitVG #IchbinHanna

Those claiming this “rewards Hamas” have it exactly backward. Hamas feeds off of Palestinian hopelessness. Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights has functioned as a Hamas recruitment program. Diplomatic recognition offers a credible alternative nonviolent path to liberation.
BREAKING: Ireland and Spain recognized a Palestinian state shortly after Norway announced its recognition

A real pleasure to spend 2 days @TheSchoolofCI hearing from leading academics on the psychology, primatology, biology, philosophy, computer sci etc of CI. These ideas are still novel for many but will be common sense before long. @Collective_CI

I highly recommend applying if you are looking for a fully funded PhD. This is an excellent (and truly original) program: https://t.co/eGta1cZmtA

I have a job where explaining what my job is using a powerpoint is a major part of my job.
if you and your friends all have the kind of jobs that need to be explained with a powerpoint then you are probably part of society’s least productive and most annoying demographic

In general, bivariate plots are a terrible way of assessing the importance of an effect, don't teach people to make snap judgements based on them.
