People who have created a fediverse account for your lab: how did you decide on a server?

We want to share our research updates with a lab account, but there are so many considerations to make regarding moderation, federation, donation, visibility, etc etc 🫨

Science vs intuition

...intuition is a crappy tool for understanding the world. System 1 wasn't built for that purpose. It was built for speed. can't understand a terrestrial ball. It doesn't expect a caterpillar to turn into a butterfly. It can't help you understand how ice can fall from the sky an hour after the temperature peaked (in Tucson) at 105 F (40 C). It has never seen continents move.

1/2

genuine and terrified question: what do we as scientists do now re: the massive rise in conspiracist anti-vax / anti-medicine / climate change denial / general mistrust of science rhetoric? it seems even in just the last 6 months to have gotten so much worse, especially following the 15 minute cities protests in the uk, rogan/musk on twitter hounding vaccine scientists, etc

I work for a company that deals extensively with ‘lay summaries’ – short descriptions of academic articles that are easier for the general public to understand. I’ve never read a summary that was as easy and fun to read as this *entire* paper documenting psychological research. Honestly, give it a read: psyarxiv.com/2uxwk for PDF; experimentalhistory.substack.c for a mobile-friendly version
