Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

New blog post! "Preregistration: More Promises than Pitfalls," some thoughts inspired by the recent meeting at the Royal Society. I don't find many pitfalls with preregistration itself, but there are plenty of problems with how we talk about it. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/preregistr...

Or, maybe the real pitfalls are different from what we usually think

Research prizes are opaque and rife with bias — it’s time to shake them up
Awards should be standard-bearers for transparent, robust research that is inclusive, equitable and trustworthy. But that is not what they are right now

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical.
Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis.
