Tinfoil hat Russia 🇷🇺: Belarusian actionist artist Uladzik Bokhan emailed fake instructions from Russia’s ruling party to Voronezh school teachers, with a demand to make tinfoil hats to protect their minds from NATO influence, and to report back. Compliance was more than enthusiastic! Full video of the social experiment here: youtu.be/KGtoBFeZzkg?feature…

$12k to publish in @nature but yeah the problem is northern hemisphere seasons.
Stop using ‘summer’, ‘winter’ and the rest when inviting researchers to events — it’s a small step, but it’s necessary and inclusive go.nature.com/4dUMxT0

Dear managers: Raising productivity is not about monitoring people. It's about motivating them.
94 studies: Surveillance fails to improve performance—and increases stress, distrust, and dissatisfaction.
Tracking people is not a substitute for respecting and valuing them.

New preprint out! 🎉
We measured how gender affects moral judgments using data from r/AITA on Reddit. We did this by identifying and comparing judgments on stories describing similar situations authored by users of different genders.

Selectively breeding the most *individually* productive hens leads to lower overall egg production, so chicken farmers have cleverly learned to shift selection to the level of the *group*. Economists, on the other hand >

This sounds like a trivial observation and it isn’t:
No organization which makes its people pay for coffee wants to win.
