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.
