@MattPrinciple @mattyglesias I agree that muting is better, unless someone is clearly a troll. It allows them to see your content while hiding their responses. I mainly use muting to restrict tweets to specific lists, rather than my general feed, but I also use it to hide those I don't want to see anywhere.

@kyledcheney I am curious why the jury is not given a copy of the instructions. This seems a lot to have to remember. "These instructions will take at least an hour, and you will not receive copies of them."

Srivastava et al. Editors are biased too: An extension of Fox et al. (2023)'s analysis makes the case for triple‐blind review https://t.co/06sIFNBxiI

[Ecological Entomology @Ecol_Ent]

An exciting development from @EcolEnt - we are now switching to double-anonymous reviewing!

The initiative will support @RoyEntSoc journal efforts to address bias in #PeerReview.

@Tabletop_Deals I thought this game was very good the one time I played it.

This little 2006 article by @AndyPurvisNHM contains the best bit of comic timing I've ever seen in an academic paper. https://t.co/iLfiVJWWcY

@BrunaLab You are falling down on the job. I used the word “evolution” multiple times in lecture today, making them pliable and open to new ideas, like selection and drift. They will be “educated” whether they want to be or not! (Because pop gen is a required course for their majors)

@DanielBolnick This is not a Shiny app, but I use this for doing in class simulations for my pop gen class: https://t.co/ZqUWC7MJ6q

@StephenBHeard Isn’t the narrator imagining a dystopian authoritative and thus oppressive school system, which is the reason for “thought control”. Basically, imagining what Florida is trying to do to their schools?
