ζητητικός. Computational #math #stats #psych #socialsci and (sometimes) #neuro guy at a large Midwest (US) university.

Research scientist and science communications/education proponent. Interested in why people believe weird things and why conspiracy theories propagate so easily. (Also in the stuff listed at the top, obviously.)

Often #satire, intentionally or not.

I like weird stuff and weird ideas, but I *don't* believe what you believe. Mostly.

What ICE is doing in US airports today, it will be doing at US polling places in November. These photos aren’t funny or incongruous; they should be giving us nightmares. This has to end now.
At this rate, they’ll have to release all the Epstein files just to distract from the war and gas prices

Unemployment for new workers just hit a 37-year high—worse than the Great Recession.
The jobs they were promised? Vanishing.
Tech & finance are cutting roles. Entry-level hiring is drying up.
Meanwhile:
• 57% of Gen Z have side hustles
• Grads are more unemployed than the overall workforce
• AI is replacing junior jobs
This isn’t a work ethic problem.
👉 It’s a broken pipeline.
👉 It’s a locked door.
Gen Z isn’t failing. They’re being shut out.

Honestly, a daisy wheel printer would work fine for a lot of my work. And they are a lot easier to maintain than laser printers or ink jets.

I don’t know how many other people hate passionately those God forsaken flock surveillance cameras, but I want to figure out how to get birds to preferably poop over their solar panels.

Crows and ravens were very quick to pick up on rewards for instance

I just don't get #Christianity anymore.

(Joke. I unfortunately fully understand what's happening here.)
