Interesting thread on the history of the term "Judgment and Decision Making".
Two thoughts:
1. Missed mentioning the term "Behavioral Decision Theory" -- why it arose and how it fell away.
2. Why is the distinction between judgments and decisions also falling away?

One easy tell I discovered last week was clicking on the DOIs.
"Artificial" indeed, just like it says on the tin.
How much time will I waste clicking DOIs from now on?

I was sent a paper to review that cites a book I did not write. As in, it cites a made up book with my name on it.
Quick look in the references, and I quickly found several more non-existent papers.
People. People. This is supposed to be science. What are we doing? This made my soul feel tired.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.”
I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.
Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty
Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.
