I just wrote a short piece over on post.news about how the h-index rose to prominence because it was a clever UI hack—and now that the UI hack is no longer needed, it may seem like a curious choice of bibliometric measure.

I'll serialize here as well, below.

New paper alert (preprint). This is a long-time coming baby, finally birthed. It looks to bring the #neuroscience of social #pain into #sociology. Physical pain operates along two dissociable neural circuits.

One is the affective response to the noxious stimulus, while the other is embodied in physical sensations. Research shows that #rejection/ #exclusion from others triggers the former circuits, replicating the affective feeling we get from trauma to the body.
