๐Ÿ’ผ ๐Ÿ’” Academiaโ€™s toxic love language is playing โ€œhard to getโ€
๐Ÿงช ๐Ÿ’“ Science is the beautiful pursuit of building knowledge

I wrote an essay for Nature Human Behaviour on treating academia as โ€œjust a jobโ€ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What ideas would you add? ๐Ÿ’ก

Is it possible to use AI well and ethically in academia? I don't know but these amazing resources - via @dingemansemark.bsky.social - may help you make an informed decision 1/

Crazy coincidence how often [thing that will fix science of all of its ailments] coincides with [thing the speaker considers themselves an expert in]. Makes you think

We found a U-shaped relation between infants' attention levels and the quality of maternal caregiving: both very low and very high attention scores were associated with higher-quality caregiving, suggesting that mothers may adapt their behaviors to meet their infants' attentional needs.

We used eye-tracking and Bayesian cognitive modelling to assess several aspects of infant cognitive functioning, and behavioral observation to assess maternal caregiving quality. Then we tested the association between them.

Our new paper is out in @science.org! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Brazil, we show how fine-scale genomic analyses reveal that this diversity, rooted in Indigenous ancestry and centuries of complex demographic history, plays a key role in population health.
