Achieving the global 30by30 #biodiversity conservation targets requires political compromises & navigating conflicts. @michaelsen.bsky.social et al. found strong public support for the targets in 8 countries, which suggests expansion of protected areas is politically feasible doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Hey! If social psychology could read they’d be very upset
Academia will form these little pockets -- people whose theorizing is outrageous & supported by methods outdated since the 90s -- but once it reaches a critical size those people just review each others papers & grants, form societies, hand out awards etc, like a self-contained parallel society.

Haven't read this yet, but this seems very important for #ExpEcon folks. 22–27% failed comprehension in the DG & UG; in the Trust Game and Public Goods Game, that number hit 70% and 52%. doi.org/10.1016/j.je... (Note saw posted on other site but author doesn't seem to be here, so making a new post)

I knew publication bias in political science was bad; I didn't know it was this bad.
"98.8% of abstracts report non-null results compared to only 16.9% reporting null findings."
This is bad.
