3) I'm excited about their Local feed.

Reading Flowers for Algernon as a teenager devastated me, and I still get related nightmares. I cannot imagine what this situation must be like to live through.

Abandoned: the human cost of neurotechnology failure

Am I really an academic if I’ve never sent out a doodle poll? #AcademicChatter
Dear early career researchers: I have been writing papers for 17 years. A professional editor just sent back edits on a first draft of a 4 page text. Except for 5 lines, the whole document was red.

Steven Roberts had the guts to make public the shitty editorial practices of Fiedler at PoPS - amazing bravery. For each public case there are 50+ that go unreported (for good reason). There is *so little* accountability for editors, & some of them are *so bad*. Many eds act in ways that are corrupt, bigoted, & unprofessional. Time to make editors accountable: publish decision letters & reviews, or at the very least give authors explicit right to share them publicly.
I never met him but I loved teaching the debate about visual imagery, and after teaching it multiple times, I came to be convinced more about his nuanced point of view, even though most people prob think Kosslyn "won" that debate.
