An important piece from the @apsrjournal.bsky.social (by @devorahmanekin.bsky.social and @tmitts.bsky.social) to make sense of ongoing events: it matters not only which tactics are adopted by protesters but also who they are.

Excited to share a new paper in @nature.com (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

We show how a change from five-star ratings to thumbs up/down eliminated a race gap in worker ratings and income

Sometimes the right solution is the simple one

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals.

So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

Interested in a nudge that can reduce the expression of racial bias in performance evaluations? In the March issue of @nature.com, I cover excellent new work by @tristanbotelho.bsky.social, Sora Jun, Demetrius Humes, and
@decelles.bsky.social. Links below:

Racial bias eliminated when ratings switch from five stars to thumbs up or down | Nature
Implementing a performance-rating system with a two-point scale instead of a five-point scale could be an easy way to temper racial prejudices and tangibly improve income equality for workers from under-represented groups. Switch in performance-rating system could reduce racial pay gap.

A scientist’s legacy isn’t just discoveries or awards—it also includes the students and colleagues who pass through their orbit over the years.

Author Dava Sobel joins us to discuss Marie Curie and the women she mentored.

How do you keep participants from using AI rather than answering open-ended survey questions in their own words? Create some friction.

Katie Kroeper describes disabling cut-and-paste in Qualtrics as a way of creating barriers to the use of AI:
It’s not a complete fix (because people could just hand copy a ChatGPT response), but I know there’s some JavaScript to disable copy/paste for particular Qualtrics questions (community.qualtrics.com/survey-platf...). Making ChatGPT a hassle might cut down on some of this type of thing 🤷‍♀️
