This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

Great experience presenting at the WASAD Congress! I discussed how Natural Language Processing can advance stress research and how music functions as a cognitive artifact. @wasadorg.bsky.social
Grateful to collaborate with @mauriciojdmartins.bsky.social @clauslamm.bsky.social & Urs Nater

On further reflection, the selection of @simine.com as Editor-in-Chief of Psychological Science is one of the most important milestones for the reform movement in psychology.
There will be impact on the journal, sure. But more, selecting a committed, visible reformer illustrates its normalization.

In Österreich ist eine politische Kampagne gegen mich und andere Wissenschaftler_innen am Laufen. Die rechtsextreme FPÖ und ihr faschistisches Umfeld versuchen alle Stimmen einzuschüchtern, die sie beobachten und analysieren. Die Waffen sind dabei sehr ungleich verteilt.
