The goal: to have a comprehensive data driven understanding how multi-generational trauma shapes implicit bias in institutions, groups, familes etc and how it intertwines DK in community leaders.
So that we can work together to address these issues together!
We know that the task demands of cognitive tests most scores: if one version of a problem requires more work (e.g., gratuitously verbose or unclear wording, open response rather than multiple choice), people will perform worse.
Erin Hannon and I wrote a short commentary on Nori Jacoby et al.'s fantastic paper on people's rhythmic reproduction tendencies in a bunch of different parts of the world and sub-populations in those places.
This Stranger, My Son: A Mother’s Story (1968) by Louise Wilson
Yesterday, I read This Stranger My Son: A Mother’s Story (1968) by Louise Wilson. It is about a family’s experience with schizophrenia. Aside from the consistency with which clinicians blamed Louise Wilson and her husband for the illness of their son, a nonsense that has disappeared in its more blatant forms but still persists in more subtle narratives of some today, the book is still remarkably relevant for its descriptions of family turmoil and the paucity of healthcare or social supports for parents and their severely ill children. In fact, I think it is the best of several books I have read about the experiences of parents seeking help for their children with serious mental illnesses—it is honest and beautifully written.
“In this new book, [Jonathan] Haidt is coddling the American parent: providing them with a clear, simple, and wrong solution to what is ailing their children. But—as with historic moral panics—parents, schools, and politicians will embrace it, absolving themselves of their own failings in raising children in our modern world and pointing to an easy villain.” @mmasnick
So I'm hiring for a role using Rust and Solid.js. Preferably someone in Sweden, but can be anyone in the EU. The role can be fully remote, but it is preferable if we can share a whiteboard sometimes.
Neither Rust nor Solid.js knowledge is required, but familiarity with a sensible backend language and React-like APIs is a good indicator if the role is for you. :)

Most professors teach, but only some research teaching. For the former, does their practical knowledge of teaching help them evaluate education research? Find out in this article by Vic Deekens, Brian Cartiff, and yours truly. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10508406.2024.2338937
I am predisposed to negativity; a problem that seems very common to people in #STEM. It's as if we are all constantly looking for mistakes and inconsistencies.
In #improv they have a game called "Yes, And". It's a great way to practice riffing off other people. You build off each other, and work together.
It seems that people here on the #Fediverse do the opposite; they play "But, No" or "Well, Actually". We pick each other apart and it sucks.
Speak to people about #ClimateChange, many of their responses are based on what they know something about & feel positive about. They believe, & or want others to believe, e.g., "sellers", that #technology is the answer
From my perspective, their implicit ignorance of #ecology & the state of ecosystems is explicit.
Whenever l hear the mantra, paraphrasing "nuclear fusion is the "game" changer", l try to inform them of the many nature based solutions that they don't know about.
"That’s the trouble with confession and denial — confession always sounds like the truth, and denial always sounds like a lie.
"If someone lies, and you deny it, your denial makes the lie seem more credible. If you confess, nobody asks if it's true. Which way round that happens doesn't make any difference."
Super excited to share the latest article in our topical collection on Theory Development in Educational Psychology! In this article, Pani Kendeou reviews the development of the Knowledge Revision Components Framework and how it can be used to address the current misinformation crisis. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09885-y
But what really stands out is this football stadium-sized red flag about another figure who started it:
"The phenomenon began to take off after the publication of a 1980 bestseller, “Michelle Remembers,” by Canadian psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder and one of his patients (later his wife), Michelle Smith"
Dude was cheating on his wife with his patient who he was hypnotizing and revealing false memories from.
President Joe Biden and Donald Trump don't want to use their opponents' names, instead favoring nicknames and circumlocutions like"the former guy" and "Sleepy Joe." For @TheConversationUS, Roger J. Kreuz takes a look at Biden's rhetorical tactic — the Voldemort effect, or a cardinal principle of advertising: never mention your competitor by name. He also examines Trump's approach of othering via mispronouncing names and tapping into xenophobia.
