A new study reveals that we simplify decisions by storing key choices early and prioritizing critical points. These insights were uncovered through an analysis of London taxi drivers’ navigation strategies.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
