Yesterday I got to go on KCBS to talk about the importance of studying mixed emotions, and their relevance to technology and socioemotional development! (And yes, I was both excited and nervous at the beginning) audacy.com/podcast/kcbs-r…

And why is it always high school math or English, yet I also somehow already have a PhD, but it’s gonna be taken away because I forgot I was supposed to do one last semester of high school work?

Even if the genetically modified grey wolves resembling dire wolves were true instances of de-extinction (they are not), why are they calling it the first de-extinction? #pyreneanibexerasure

Vance is likely unaware that in 2016, NIH added rigor & reproducibility criteria to grant review. Rather than reward efforts to make science more reproducible, his admin has wasted taypayer money by chaotically cancelling already in-progress grants & slashing 40% of NIH budget.
