I am pretty sure there is a special place in hell for Western media headline writers.
The deliberate and painstaking effort to whitewash genocide requires a special talent that only total moral emptiness can produce.

I've seen Professors attacked by right-wing culture warriors (Gad Saad, ect) who used the mantle of "free speech" to demonize speech they didn't like. Now these folks are celebrating forced disappearance...for speech. They eroded the meaning of words because they don't have the truth on their side.

We are super happy to present our first Open Lab preprint! We look critically at the concept of "naturalistic behaviour" and point out that "naturalistic" doesn't always mean "better"!

I'm working on a piece on dealing with complexity in neuroscience. And hence my question: do you feel overwhelmed with the complexity of the system you study? And - if so - what is your personal remedy for that feeling?
