Iedereen raakt wel eens de weg kwijt, maar meestal helpt Google Maps ons dan snel uit de brand. Maar er zijn ook mensen met 'atopia': extreme last van verdwalen, zelfs zo dat ze zonder hulp nooit de weg kunnen vinden. Wie zijn zij? Ineke van der Ham schreef erover: nl.in-mind.org/article/alti...

This RedNote post shocked me today.

An anonymous user says they are going to upload 60 papers to arXiv soon and are looking for “citation partners” to boost citation counts together by citing each other.

Something is seriously wrong in the system of evaluating researchers by citation counts.

During the Inclusive Autism Research Day, people with autism shared with researchers what needs to change in research! The day started with presentations and continued with engaging round table discussions. Immensely proud of what we organized! @mauranevejans.bsky.social

This week, I attended the autism workshop organized by the Delacroix Research Foundation! Three days filled with interesting talks and posters. I loved hearing and learning about different autism research areas (and presented a poster myself!).
