If you care about higher education in the UK, read the @britishacademy.bsky.social 's response to the Government's Immigration White Paper. It is well worth the time.

Our experiments are only as strong as their ability to be replicated

Pleased to see our 2022 study on intelligence & strategy in repeated games validated by a high-powered experiment.

Thanks to Michalis & Graeme.
