A recent redesign of OSF by @cos.io led to widespread access failures. What began as a few broken download links became for me a total disappearance of eight years of DOI-registered work. What happened, how was it resolved, and what it reveals about trust and infrastructure in open science
Open Science needs reliable infrastructure – Ven Popov
After OSF’s October 2025 redesign, I discovered that eight years of DOI-linked preprints and materials were silently hidden by an automated spam flag. What happened, how it was resolved, and what it r...

More useful material for the @royalsociety.org’s bio of their esteemed fellow. Though I’m still struggling to understand how a society that claims to value scientific rigour continues to honour someone who spreads so much disinformation.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Delighted to see another validation of MouseView.js, this time to test its usability for biases to alcohol-related stimuli. It was reliable, and captured overt attentional bias in those with high problematic drinking scores. For more info, read the paper by Thulin et al.: doi.org/10.1016/j.ps...

Found myself nodding along to the first post, and being pleasantly surprised by the data in the rest of this thread.
Everyone knows that temporal contiguity is important for associative learning. As the interval between a cue (e.g., a light) and an outcome (e.g., shock) gets longer, the conditioned response (e.g., freezing to the tone) is acquired less quickly.

Learned a new obscure thing about Python today! Imagine p is a NumPy array and n is an integer:
p = p/n is C-contiguous
p /= n is not
🤯
p = p/n is C-contiguous
p /= n is not

Excited to see Swift enter her academic era: "Actually Romantic" is about peer review. Chorus:
"But it's actually sweet
All the time you've spent on me
It's honestly wild
All the effort you've put in
It's actually scholarship
I really got to hand it to you
No man has ever reviewed like you do"

Such a lovely talk, and I’m glad our admin upgraded the venue as there was standing room only! I particularly enjoyed Aidan’s perspective on hippocampal and non-hippocampal encoding as independent processes, and flexibility of memories within that space. (I also enjoyed the brief Mario Kart break.)
