A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

Evidence for Infant-directed Speech Preference Is Consistent Across Large-scale, Multi-site Replication and Meta-analysis Abstract. There is substantial evidence that infants prefer infant-directed speech (IDS) to adult-directed speech (ADS). The strongest evidence for this claim has come from two large-scale investigati...

MetaLab

I'll give a quick run through @manybabies.org and metalab.stanford.edu and the journey towards analyzing data from both within one framework
Thanks to the amazing team @mzettersten.bsky.social, @chrismmcox.bsky.social, @mayamathur.bsky.social et al.

Happening online today at 2:30 Berlin time:

Learn more about what meta-analyses and large scale replications can tell us, at the #LoveReplicationsWeek

Thanks, @forrt.bsky.social

Not just lit reviews. I get an email like this every few weeks. They are selling hard to academics to offload the analysis to make space for other work
But analysis & writing IS the work that honors the voices of intellectual ancestors, centers the participants & connects the two to to build theory

Vielleeeeeeeeeeeeeicht habe ich einen sehr schlechten Vortrag gesehen, der gespickt war mit Fehlinformation, wie etwa "KI spricht alle Sprachen" ...

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Gibt es eine goldene Himbeere der #WissKomm? Ein Zertifikat für garantiert uninformative Arbeit? Ein Badge für halluzinierte Fakten?

Wenn nein, könnten wir das einrichten?

Das ist glaub ich nicht ganz das, was ich suche, schade. Haben wir also ne echte Marktlücke entdeckt

YouTube video by MN Center for Philosophy of Science AI and the Nature of Science: Keynote presentation by Carl Bergstrom

how LLMs change incentives for research - a great talk by @carlbergstrom.com , had to watch in parts, a lot to digest. #institutional_epistemology at its best! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mj3... #philsci

Toward the end of his two-volume Treatise on the Venom of the Viper, published in 1781, the Tuscan naturalist Deluxe Fontana declared: "I have made more than 6000 experiments; I have had more than 4000 animals bit; I have employed upwards of 3000 vipers and may have been deceived; some essential circumstance may have escaped me: I may have neglected some other, not thinking it necessary; my consequences may have been too general, my experiments too few in number. In a word, I may very easily have been mistaken, and it would be almost impossible that I should never have been so in a matter so difficult, so obscure, and likewise so new."

Fontana thinking his 6000+ experiments may not have been enough to feel confident in his conclusions in the 18th century while we expect our singular experiments and their standalone replications to do wonders some 250 years later... (excerpt from the intro of Jutta Schickore's About Experiment)

Oh yes, come on, folks, we can do iiit

Hm what if I write: Most of this proposal was written 2019 and is therefore AI free

Can we get certificates? Academia likes certificates

Das gilt ja schon, sobald die Möglichkeit im Raum steht. Bewirbst du dich auf Alternativen, bist du weniger schlau, belastbar, und geeignet

Nearing 1,000 users on @eurosky.social!!

Anyone can join. You get the exact same features as Bluesky, login the same way, etc. And see all the same posts. So why move to Eurosky? It’s run by a European non-profit, on European servers and bound by European laws (eg GDPR).

Lasst uns mal kompetente Speaker*innen sammeln, die das Thema KI ohne Quatsch (aber gern mit Humor) vermitteln können.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.

Understood instantly what it meant.

Scientists: for a new story, I have one big question—>

What is a “good day” in the lab?

I’m looking for epic examples of the best day ever to general criteria for what constitutes a “good day” compared to a nothing-burger day.

Ping me if you have examples to share!

Re-posts appreciated!

Unmasking Academe’s Gilded Boys’ Club The Epstein files reveal an elite, chummy, and venal scholarly network.

I’m quoted quite a bit here so perhaps I’m biased but I feel this is a good run down of what the Epstein files tell us about how power works in academia. with some good commentary from @jessicacalarco.com, too:

Only two days left to submit your abstract for this year's @mathpsych.org meeting. Some things to consider:
1. The conference is in Canada.
2. If you cannot attend in person, there is a virtual track. Consider submitting there! You can pick the track during the submission process.
See you there!

Es gibt KI #WissKomm Speaker, die hauen mehr Falschinformationen raus als ein LLM. Also falls ihr je an euch zweifeln solltet, denkt dran dass solche Leute gebucht und bezahlt werden

"Endlich Licht am Ende des Tunnels"

Können wir mal drüber reden, wie viel dieses akademische Nomadentum eigentlich so kostet? Also hartes Geld, von den anderen Kosten ganz zu schweigen.

Ich habe Kolleg*innen, die einfach schon 10 Jahre in ihrer Wohnung wohnen und pro Monat 100e € weniger zahlen. #IchbinHanna #ArmeAkademie

Außerdem die Energie die man auf wendet ständig Bewerbungen zu schreiben, anstatt die Forschung gerade im Bereich der Geisteswissenschaften sinnvoll in die Gesellschaft einzubringen 🤷

An interesting experiment in reproducibility: the NanoBubbles project is looking for researchers/labs in nanotechnology who can help with understanding the discrepancy between an widely cited work and its mostly failed replication
