I sometimes share my work (in 🇬🇧) and rant about pseudoscience and the news (in 🇫🇷)

Just came across Paul Bloom's criticism of some developmental psychology work and I wanted to share my thoughts.
Tldr: We do need more data to find out, in the future, whether we were trying to fit cylinders (data points) in square holes (bad theories) all along - thomaschazelle.fr/en/data-matt...

What a lovely 3 days in Utrecht for #BRNet2025. Thanks everyone for the thought-provoking talks and chats. I think the computational modelling theme for this year was spot-on, congrats to the organisers @bodyrepnetwork.bsky.social ! Looking forward to seeing some of you again at #IMRF in Durham!

1st day at #BRNet2025 - I thought my nerdiness was sated with the computational modelling workshop, until Pieter Medendorp mentioned the El Greco fallacy 🥹

Can #BRNet2025 answer the cartographer / tuner question? If you're in Utrecht in the next few days and even if you're not coming, feel free to share and, most of all, comment!

Thought-provoking as always with @chazfirestone.bsky.social - you've probably hard that the Müller-Lyer illusion was WEIRD. But is it really? scholars.duke.edu/publication/... by @dorsaamir.bsky.social and @chazfirestone.bsky.social

"Exposure to any Great Replacement Conspiracy narrative increased radical intentions against Muslims" - further proof that it should be considered hate speech and OUTLAWED!
Our registered report with @valentinmang.bsky.social and @feitenglong.bsky.social has now been published in BJSP! We examined the radicalizing effects of different Great Replacement conspiracy narratives (Muslim vs. left-wing conspirators). See the link for the paper: doi.org/10.1111/bjso...
