Hilarious reading. Is this really the feeling in the Hamptons?

It sounds like someone is missing grounding at all in evolutionary biology.

I have a colleague who is having trouble getting her vaccine from CVS. Do you mind sharing what pharmacy you used? I used Vons.

Just got mine as well. No problem at all although the pharmacist did share that they don't know when or if there will be another update.

I'm pretty sure he was a reviewer on my first manuscript. He gave me great guidance, sprinkled with humor over my amateur mistakes. About a particularly weak analysis, "it is the wont of every scientist to publish all of their available data."

This is very nice. Even though it's from UM, it would make a nice introduction to my lifespan course.

Alt Natl Park: "Local authorities provided crowd estimates, which were then reported back and compiled for the final count."

Thanks.

Yeah. Me too. I'm just not fine with casting unnecessary or unjustified doubt on a good resource. Seems like a lot of chest puffing going on in this thread.

Well, I mean we could also use official estimates from the relevant police departments. They at least have good info on the metrics of the location and expertise in estimating crowd size for reasons of public safety.

Agree if the numbers are impossible but it is completely possible that ppl outside the city limits joined the Boston protest. Who is claiming 1M in Boston anyway? I haven't seen that from Alt Natl Park Service. Isn't this thread about whether their numbers are valid?

His methodology is literally, "According to our back-of-the-envelope math, that puts total attendance somewhere in the 4-6 million people range. That means roughly 1.2-1.8% of the U.S. population attended a No Kings Day event somewhere in the country yesterday." He acknowledges this is unofficial.

There are common metrics for determining crowd size used by both PDs and Natl Park Service. No reason to go all conspiracy theory on this. www.eventhosts.org/wp-content/u....

It's also consistent with the Alt Nat Park estimate based on local PD reports. What is the basis of gelliot's "crowdsourcing?"

Revolution, human cognition, and AI. Three powerful strands that, woven together, perfectly capture the tension of the present moment. Well worth 20 minutes of your time.

You did work hard on this. That was a lot to pack into 20 min and it was powerful. Thanks for weaving those threads together.

Great analogy.

She should be released. She should never have been detained in the first place.

This is just so damned destructive! Really sorry that you have to go through this so early in your career!

Why Adolescents Are Especially Vulnerable โ€” And What That Says About Design
Kids arenโ€™t gullible.

Theyโ€™re developing.
And this study shows: fake news detection tracks closely with brain development.

That has big implications for educationโ€”and for the platforms they use.

Thanks for your two cents. I was thinking primarily of travel concerns but I had not factored in lingering concerns about the society.

Elephant in the room. Who's going to SRCD? Normally there's excitement leading up to it but I'm not seeing it this year. Are we all just overwhelmed? Will we still show up? Some of my students are afraid to travel and I imagine our foreign colleagues will sit this one out. #devpsych #devsci

No. It's worse. From my understanding CISA has been instructed to ignore Russian cybersecurity threats. This is much worse.
