Book: The Dawn of Everything, by David Graeber and David Wengrow

I have just finished The Dawn Of Everything and I highly recommend it if you're interested in the structure of society or how we look at history. It's a commitment (525 pages and reasonably dense) but it's eye-opening. And gives you hope for the future - there are *other* ways of doing things.

The former Attorney General of Israel, Michael Benyair is now calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide.

"To eternal shame. Jews, who suffered a genocide 80 years ago, are committing genocide in Gaza. Shame, rage, and sorrow"

In a sane world, every newspaper would run on A1 tomorrow:

“IDF THREAT: IF JOURNALISTS PHOTOGRAPH GAZA, WE WILL STARVE GAZA”

We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work with Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd and WWT on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership!

Dark blue background to the left of image with Cardiff University logo in top left corner, red Babylab dragon and ident to the centre. Cream box overlays the blue background. Centred dark blue text reads "are you a medical or allied health professional based in the UK? Do you work with children with Down syndrome under 5? We want to hear your thoughts on using wearable head-mounted cameras in your practice". A QR code to the bottom left with dark blue text that reads "Find out more about our new remote study using the QR code or link in the caption" Right side of image shows a young child with Down syndrome in a light blue t-shirt with the Babylab Dragon and text reading “Little Scientist”. She is wearing a soft, light blue foam helmet with a small camera attached to the front, just above eye level.

Cardiff Babylab is excited to launch a new, remote study for medical and allied health professionals in the UK!

We are inviting professionals to give their thoughts on integrating wearable head cameras into their practice.

Dlaczego ciągle musimy powielać stare błędy? Zniesienie N0 to jeden z bardziej kontrowersyjnych pomysłów, choć nie bezsensowny. „Wycenianie” publikacji przez komitety PAN już przerabialiśmy, podobnie jak limit 2N, który nie bez powodu wiele lat ...

Czy musimy ciągle powielać stare błędy? – pyta prof. Maria Lewicka #UMK, odnosząc się do propozycji zmian w kryterium I ewaluacji.

Wśród pomysłów: zmniejszenie limitu osiągnięć do 2N, odejście od dzielenia udziałów w publikacjach wieloautorskich oraz „wycenianie” publikacji przez komitety #PAN ⬇️

Brain Surfaces of 70 primate species

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!

Wishing to see
starving people fed
is not political
it’s not taking sides
it’s being human
and having a heart
that beats for all
not just some.

Our new study in Psych Science @psychscience.bsky.social reveals many interesting-- and concerning -- things about the language on kids' shows, including a grammatical bias in favor of men and boys as agents or "doers" 👇

if any liberal brits are looking at this and going “oh no, that’s a bit hitlerian,” you might want to check out how he sold the practice to the population (read the alt text)

Welcome to Hotel Elsevier: you can check-out any time you like … not » Eiko Fried A journey by Robin Kok and Eiko Fried trying to understand what private data Elsevier collects; what private data Elsevier sells; and what to do about it.

The increasingly militarised state border between Poland and Belarus, running through Białowieża Forest (a unique old-growth forest in Europe), is leading to higher tree damage and wildlife roadkill.

Ok, czyli na naukę w tym @polskaakademianauk.bsky.social rząd ściboli, ale na instytut propagandowy dla ludowców 10 mln się znajdzie! Absolutny skandal! Co na to @ministerstwonauki.bsky.social ?

PSL dostanie instytut naukowy. Będzie "szerzyć myśl narodową i patriotyczną" Wincentego Witosa Instytut dostanie na początek 10 mln zł. Będzie podlegał ministrowi rolnictwa, bo 'Witos kojarzy się z rolnictwem i wsią'.

Really happy to see Claire Essex’s brilliant work on the immediate cognitive effects of kid’s TV published after a long journey during her PhD. Watch this space for her continued work on this in our @ukri.org funded #animatingminds project 🧠🎞️👶

“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening.”

“I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.”

ABCD Study omits gender-identity data from latest release The removal counteracts the goals of the longitudinal study by “pretending that some aspects of adolescent brain development don’t exist,” says sex differences researcher Nicola Grissom.

The National Institutes of Health has removed gender identity variables from the ongoing Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, @thetransmitter.bsky.social has learned.

Is curiosity good for us, or should we learn a lesson from what curiosity did to the cat?

Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries Exclusive: The climate cost is more than than the combined 2023 emissions of Costa Rica and Estonia, study finds

By me: Climate cost of Israel’s war on Gaza will exceed the annual greenhouse gas emissions of >100 countries - exacerbating planetary catastrophe on top of the horrific death toll and suffering of Palestinians

I will forever be haunted by this footage.

Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.

What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.
