Their successful approach: don't send cops after students, talk seriously with the protestors, and enforce *preexisting* codes about speech and harassment.
My surviving family in Rafah is about to be wiped out & "pro-Palestine" & "pro-Israel" folks are seemingly in a bizarre agreement that they don't want a ceasefire/hostage deal because it's "too temporary" or "would allow Hamas to survive." And damned be Gazans & Israeli hostages.

Research suggests confidence in relation to scientific knowledge grows much faster than knowledge, with the largest confidence gaps for individuals with intermediate knowledge levels, who also exhibit the least positive attitudes towards science: buff.ly/3Qouig0
While I also admired our President’s message, it seems to me that the most successful movements find the red lines and then cross them cleverly. Protest is supposed to be transgressive, violating boundaries. It’s a proven strategy to get attention and support. If the protesters…

Relatedly: The research people learn of early in grad school is almost exclusively from the top 1% in quality. Partly why second-year Ph.D. students are a brutal audience—they are comparing the random paper they are seeing to the top 50 ever.
just occurred to me impostor syndrome might also be a form of network effect: on average, the peers we interact with are more successful than us, because more successful scientists have more exposure

I love stuff like this where the critique of economics is clearly several iterations into a game of "telephone". chowcollection.medium.com/michael-saylor…
One real concern in our field is too many people that love to say "economists got it wrong" or "nothing in psychology replicates". Stating this implies you have never taken a course in economics or psychological methods and are just repeating tweets that got 30,000 likes in 2018.

Great talk on the “Art and Science of Difficult Conversations” with @HiddenBrain’s @ShankarVedantam and @fearless_greene. It’s hard to hear someone else’s perspective when you are angry or afraid. But doing so adds nuance to the narrative and can even open them up to your view

It so happens that @cailinmeister & @weatherall_jim wrote a book with that very title - might have some useful insights to consider!
Lots of scientific and popular articles on misinformation feature some variation on "misinformation is a growing problem" or "we are living through a misinformation age" and yet do not provide any evidence or even arguments in defence of these claims.
@jayvanbavel We fight not with people but principalities and powers that rule the day.
I think the University of Chicago president's note on protests and encampments is very much worth reading, for several reasons 1. Clear statement of values: Free speech, even when it's offensive, is a paramount value to be protected on college campuses—except when it comes into…

I never thought that during World Immunization week in 2024, we’d have to be dealing with resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases like measles because of persistent misinformation. Thanks @GeneticLiteracy for sharing my piece on harmful myths related to vaccines and autism.
