@lynetterussell Ooh! This is my new go-to example of correlation =/= causation, thanks!

Almost all research on the mind is in English. That’s a problem @blasi_lang @leraboroditsky @ev_fedorenko https://t.co/u9ksI6BtnP

excited to read every word of this special issue!

In time for #CogSci2023, thrilled to announce a special issue devoted to the "Conceptual Foundations of Sustainability" @cogsci_soc This emerged from a symposium at #CogSci2021 with @Barbara_Malt https://t.co/CIBtFJ1xv4

What can we do?
See our list of potential solutions (infographic below) and this piece (https://t.co/KQoimv3sdk).
We already know the answer – it’s just a matter of individuals, institutions, journals, funders and conferences having the will to implement these solutions.

Is this their own problem?
NO - it's everyone's problem because
Ethnic diversity = higher scientific innovation/impact (https://t.co/ygWVzG6q4R; https://t.co/zpMNWoZHks)
Science by non-native English speakers is crucial for tackling global challenges (https://t.co/YBzqMQcFBF)

I have only ever written about or presented my research in English, my first language. It is such a massive(ly unfair) advantage to be able to do so, and to engage with scholars around the world through this medium with so little effort on my part

[Tatsuya Amano @tatsuya_amano]

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

Where do questions come from, how are they framed, whose interests do they reflect, what purpose do they fulfill, what knowledge do they contribute to, what’s their accountability back to communities? Important Qs re research sovereignty from Linda Tuhiwai Smith #Lowitja2023

Hi, hello! If you've been wondering what I've been up to this month:

May 1:🚲heading off to give a talk at Melb Uni. Excited to meet CogSci colleagues and talk about stuff that has been niggling at the back of my mind, but outside my usual presentation topics

[Alice Gaby @AliceRGaby]

@NoriNagaya Thanks Nori!

[Alice Gaby @AliceRGaby]

@DrLauraSKh Exactly. So hard to put into words because it's nothing I didn't already know, but there's a huge gulf between knowing and experiencing (to the very limited extent I have experience)

[Alice Gaby @AliceRGaby]

@Gabriel20831229 Thanks Gabriela! It's already so exciting to make very small improvements

[Alice Gaby @AliceRGaby]

@DrLauraSKh Thanks Laura! It's been a slog, but also very eye-opening
