A very worrying escalation of online harassment.

Somebody has used a video of me saying "racism in football is a game of two halves" + put a fake voiceover on it saying "what I would say to the girls of Rotherham is it is a game of two halves"

Turns out a university degree does still make a substantial difference to job prospects, once you account for the conditions when people enter the job market. Nice analysis by the FT.

on.ft.com/4q6Y8pm
Plot showing unemployment rates in college grads and people without a degree, showing that when you compare groups based on when they entered the job market, people with a degree have substantially less unemployment rates which display slower increase in 2025.

Deeply disappointing. Once again the @royalsociety.org has avoided explaining how *actions* by Elon Musk that clearly repudiate the Society's values are consistent with the code of conduct that Fellows must adhere to. royalsociety.org/news/2025/10...

Amateur view. AI bubble shows that there is too much money chasing too few opportunities for genuine innovation. The solution is to take a medium/long view and put much more funding into basic science in universities rather than cutting as is happening now. (But I would say that wouldn’t I?)

New paper out! 📣

Syrian refugee children (4-9 yrs) show age-related shifts in judging trustworthiness from faces — older kids tend to see faces as less trustworthy; yet judgments are not tied to child or maternal mental health.

🚨1000 authoritarian actions. 7 months🚨

I've been tracking Trump's authoritarian actions. From dismantling democratic institutions to militarising immigration enforcement, Trump is reshaping America.

In my new post I highlight key authoriarian attacks

Exactly seven months into Trump's second term, we have reached 1000 authoritarian actions. Here I lay out the enormity of what has happened.

Excited to share our new preprint...

...𝑖𝑡'𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒! ⏳

We find temporal confounds in fMRI that emulate neural patterns of perceptual learning.

These can be hard to spot with conventional RSA, but may influence our understanding of how prior knowledge shapes perception.

There can be useful applications of LLMs in research, but peer review is certainly NOT one of them — please don't offload your judgment to a dumb model!

Latent class growth models are worse than useless, and we've known this for more than 20 years.
