Congrats!! So happy for you 🥳

Yesterday we attended the premiere of Silent Friend by Ildikó Enyedi, starring Tibor Tauzin's flat fish! 🐠

A poetic journey through three different time periods and three personalities, the film explores the beauty and bold, almost naïve force of scientific research.

Don't miss it in cinemas!

A large-scale study across the avian clade identifies ecological drivers of neophobia Neophobia (the aversive response to novelty) varies considerably across species and individuals, and can impact adaptability and survival. This study assesses neophobia in 1400 subjects from 136 bird ...

🐦 Exciting news! Our new paper is out in PLOS Biology:
“A large-scale study across the avian clade identifies ecological drivers of neophobia.”

How many years after undergrad stats did you discover that common statistical tests are linear models? lindeloev.github.io/tests-as-lin...

Children are incredible language learning machines. But how do they do it? Our latest paper, just published in TICS, synthesizes decades of evidence to propose four components that must be built into any theory of how children learn language. 1/

Who is a cognitive scientist? It depends on how you look

Who is a cognitive scientist? There's been fascinating discussion about cognition, but I'm as interested in who we think of as cognitive scientists. New essay includes a visual presentation of cog-sci's historical diversity--or lack thereof. buildcognitiveresonance.substack.com/p/who-is-a-c...

We had great fun and discussion presenting our newest research on infants' understanding of referential pointing with Tibor Tauzin and @tizianasrdoc.bsky.social at BCCCD25 🎉👶💬 #BCCCD #CogDevCeu

Afternoon plenary by @anticac.bsky.social on biases and poor practices in science. A shocking amount of research is wasted. Some fantastic recommendations to increase quality, openness and transparency. Don’t forget to check each other’s code!!! 💻👀💥 #ASABWinter2024

Happy to have had the honor of representing @manydogsproject.bsky.social at #ASABWinter2024

We are delighted to announce that ManyBirds Study 1 “Evolutionary drivers of neophobia across the avian clade” is now available in pre-print: doi.org/10.31219/osf... and been submitted for peer-review publication. 1/

I made a Starter Pack for Language Evolution.

But I just added a small bunch of names that came to mind. (I don't know who's on Bluesky yet.) So please add a comment below if you're a language evolution person and I will add more names soon.
