Some researchers, including some I very much respect, think that we need to stop pussyfooting around and start being more brutal in our way of talking about bad work in our field

I disagree. When you are refuting someone’s work, I think it’s important not to be a dick about it

In Granada and enjoying this beautiful view while working my slides 😍

I'm trying to think about these photos of my roses as a reminder for persistence in my research. Even when things look like they are dormant and not fitting, there’s a season coming when it will all come together.

[Jim AC Everett 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 @JimACEverett]

Every spring, my roses remind me about something important in academia that is easy to forget: the power of perseverance, patience, and the confidence that hard work will pay off in the end.

[Jim AC Everett 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 @JimACEverett]

I think this is in some ways a nice metaphor for research in academia. Sometimes it can feel like there is no progress with paper rejections, dead-ends, problems in research infrastructure. But even when it feels like nothing is happening, things are happening in the background.

[Jacy Reese Anthis @jacyanthis]

Behavioral research on utilitarianism has largely equated it with sacrifice, e.g. trolley problems. But that's only one aspect. New paper in @TrendsCognSci by @JimACEverett and Guy Kahane argues for new paradigms, e.g. radical impartiality: https://t.co/tf9AjsmX62

Lucio Corsi skipped every Eurovision pre-party, was ranked low by eurofans, sat outside the Top 10 in the odds, and people were even saying the Italian DJ representing San Marino would do better than him… and yet, he showed up in Basel, did his thing, and finished 5th. ICONIC.

Less than two years ago, Yuval Raphael survived a massacre at a music festival.

She hid under dead bodies as Hamas death squads hunted Israelis to kill.

Tonight, she took Europe’s biggest stage — and sang a beautiful anthem of resilience and survival! #Eurovision2025🇮🇱

There are whole subfields in which students are trained to substitute quotes by Fanon/Butler/Lorde/Foucault/etc for arguments. Like: "I want to defend P, so here's a quote from a fashionable theorist"

How did the supposedly critical humanities become so deferential to authority?

[Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79]

An NYU professor AI-proofed his assignments.

The students complained they were too hard and that “he was interfering with their ‘learning styles.’”
