In this Comment, authors argue that it is time to integrate natural ecosystems into the bioecological model of human development.
Bringing natural ecosystems into the bioecological model of human development - Nature Human Behaviour
The bioecological model of human development is among the most influential frameworks in the social sciences. We argue that it is time to integrate natural ecosystems into this model. This approach will shape research, practice and policy to promote both healthy human development and an environmentally sustainable future.

The papers all follow a similar template and make misleading claims

AI linked to explosion of low-quality biomedical research papers
Analysis flags hundreds of studies that seem to follow a template, reporting correlations between complex health conditions and single variables based on publicly available data sets.

Our paper led by Luke Grant and @wimthiery.bsky.social published in @nature.com shows that the generation of our children and grandchildren will be exposed to a lot more weather extremes than ours.

Physical punishment in low- and middle-income countries is linked to negative outcomes for children’s health, academic performance, and social-emotional development, with no observed benefits. doi.org/g9hdxp
Physical punishment leads to exclusively negative outcomes for children in low- and middle-income countries: Study
Physically punishing children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has exclusively negative outcomes—including poor health, lower academic performance, and impaired social-emotional development—yielding similar results to studies in wealthier nations, finds an analysis published in Nature Human Behaviour.

Tens of thousands of psychological measures have been created, but 79% are not reused more than twice.

In a new article in NHB lead by @faridanvari.bsky.social and @ruben.the100.ci we quantify this fragmentation in psychology's measures and propose solutions.
