Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Les capacités de concentration humaine sont-elles tombées en-dessous de celle d'un poisson rouge?
Non, d'après une méta-analyse de 287 études sur 21000 participants dans 32 pays, elles sont restées stables de 2000 à 2020 (chez les enfants, et ont légèrement progressé chez les adultes).

Seeing the Mind, Educating the Brain

If you are in Paris on October 1-3 : we are organizing a fantastic cognitive neuroscience conference at Collège de France, on topics ranging from language to math, education and consciousness, with many of my favorite scientists !

Others—like 26 or 34—don’t get the same attention.Why? In our new paper with @standehaene.bsky.social and @mathiassablemeyer.bsky.social, we argue it's because of how the mind builds number concepts.

I love the audacity of some nature/science papers on psych

"you're wondering about nature v nurture? cool we studied ALL THE KIDS IN FRANCE"

Boys surpass girls in maths in the first year of school A gender gap in mathematical ability arises shortly after children begin school — irrespective of the type of school they attend and their socio-economic background.

I was going through my open tabs and realized I forgot to highlight this great News & Views in @nature.com by John List and Andrew Simon discussing @standehaene.bsky.social et al's paper showing that a gender gap in math arises soon after children begin school 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Do girls and boys really differ in their mathematical skills? A recent @nature.com paper by @standehaene.bsky.social et al shows that French boys and girls enter school with similar abilities, but after just four months, boys pull ahead 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Je précise que l'article est purement descriptif, tout comme l'est la note de la DEPP documentant l'évolution de ces écarts au fil des niveaux scolaires.

Lovely work — and yet another proof that perceptual integration, likely based on recurrent connections, can occur without awareness during the attentional blink.

Two black-and-white headshot photographs presented side by side: on the left that of a human (Charles Darwin) and on the right that of a chimpanzee. In both cases their eyes are gazing intently at the camera.

I’m interested in how we can better communicate genetic science, when cool soundbites may confuse more than they clarify. An example: “You share 98.8% of your genes with a chimpanzee!” Is this true? What does it really mean? Let’s unpack this oft-quoted pearl of wisdom in a 🧵 all about sharing. 🧪1/n
