Hi EPS team, a colleague and I submitted our abstracts but did not receive a confirmation email, is this normal at this stage? Thanks 🙏

Yes yes, l'article dit la même chose - mais le plot dit quelque chose de très différent j'ai l'impression ? Bref, je trouvais ça intéressant ayant bossé sur l'influence sociale sur l'image corporelle, et ayant aussi galéré à trouver des effets fiables, j'étais content ça allait dans mon sens haha.

D'accord sur le principe, mais le plot donne vraiment l'impression que l'augmentation est en points de pourcentage..? Ce qui donnerait du x4-5 donc 400-500% en relatif ? Ça reste bien moins que x40 mais quand même ? Mais je pense juste que j'ai pas compris d'où sort le 23, je relirai

Hello, cool newsletter comme d'hab :) sur les likes sur les vidéos de régime, tu (l'article aussi) parles d'un effet petit, mais l'augmentation de 23% selon la symptomatologie c'est en points de pourcentage si j'en crois le plot ? ça m'a l'air massif ! Ou je n'ai pas compris un truc (très possible)

Thanks @adrienfillon.bsky.social for the find!

Data matters too | Thomas Chazelle A quick commentary on Bloom (2024)

Just came across Paul Bloom's criticism of some developmental psychology work and I wanted to share my thoughts.
Tldr: We do need more data to find out, in the future, whether we were trying to fit cylinders (data points) in square holes (bad theories) all along - thomaschazelle.fr/en/data-matt...

Chatting with Matej

What a lovely 3 days in Utrecht for #BRNet2025. Thanks everyone for the thought-provoking talks and chats. I think the computational modelling theme for this year was spot-on, congrats to the organisers @bodyrepnetwork.bsky.social ! Looking forward to seeing some of you again at #IMRF in Durham!

Brilliant workshop, imho definitely a/the direction our field should move towards!

1st day at #BRNet2025 - I thought my nerdiness was sated with the computational modelling workshop, until Pieter Medendorp mentioned the El Greco fallacy 🥹

Can BRNet2025 answer the cartographer / tuner question? | Thomas Chazelle

Can #BRNet2025 answer the cartographer / tuner question? If you're in Utrecht in the next few days and even if you're not coming, feel free to share and, most of all, comment!
