An engaging debate, organised by @mitfreespeech on the question of gender-gap in STEM. I highly recommend watching the whole thing, but if short on time, jump to timestamp 22:50 and watch the peerless @ImHardcory shine with her characteristic brilliance. https://t.co/vb00E26Egm
And the winners of the MIT "gender gap" debate are: @ImHardcory & @CHSommers, who understand that gene- environment interactions, not simply "barriers" & "discrimination," explain why we don't have 50-50 representation across STEM professions. A lively, interesting debate, and a

Please help my girlfriend @SaffronMarli recruit participants for her masters dissertation study! Take the study or share it with your followers to encourage them to take it!
Currently in a “situationship” or had a few? Please spare 10 mins for my MSc dissertation study! Survey link below. Situationships = relationships that fall between casual dating and committed partnerships, often lacking clear labels or commitment. https://t.co/8ozlae31By

An honest reflection on adversarial collaborations by @APA_Monitor: They are hard. Current incentives in science are misaligned w/adcollabs. But they are less intimidating than they seem. Adversaries become friendlier, & teams mutually assimilate new data: https://t.co/o9iH9mIRyY
