If only there was something that could have been done…

If only there had been some kind of warning…

An exciting new project at the Cuthbert Lab is starting! 🎉

We are conducting a study to test the reliability and validity of assessing physical fitness measures virtually over Zoom compared to in-person. We are currently recruiting participants!

This is Canada's "Uninhabitable Earth" - the must-read article of 2023. You have been warned. https://t.co/6dPhrxzIxm via @macleans

Fascinating stuff. Translation: fake news (misinformation) is mostly consumed by conservatives.

I have been using #5 exclusively for almost a decade, and in that time have met three other people who do as well 😂

You can only use one pen for the rest of your life; which one is it?

@Wirecutter staffers have done rigorous testing to pick the favorite. https://t.co/7PxCfHAZgu

Look Dad I do have a STEM degree! (Or at least a STEM minor)

Demography and Population Studies Receives Federal STEM Designation

With this new designation, international students with F-1 visa status will now be eligible to stay in the US for an additional two years of “STEM OPT” employment. https://t.co/YUkFHE8j5q

It’s funny because 1) I used to hate leftovers and gag at the idea of eating food from two days ago, and I’ve now been meal prepping for like 4+ years? And 2) because there are places even I won’t go and all of them are currently this weird “meat and fruit only” diet 🤢

[Megan @MlSSMEG]

No hate to people that meal prep but the thought of eating a meal I cooked 4 days ago makes my stomach turn🥴

@StephenMichaela That's amazing! Congratulations Michaela!

Contrary to the "Man the Hunter/Women the Gatherer" myth, study finds that women hunted in 80% of surveyed forager societies (1800s to today). In 87% of those societies, women hunted deliberately & not just opportunistically. @NewsfromScience

“I’m not anti-vaccine, I just want safe vaccines” is literally the oldest & most fundamental anti-vaccine talking point. The whole idea is that it sounds reasonable on the surface, but in practice, the goalpost will just keep moving and no amount of evidence will ever be enough.

Also everyone read the incredible The Mismeasure of Man by Stephen Jay Gould, which goes further into the racism baked into IQ and how it was never intended to measure intelligence

[Dr Kareem Carr @kareem_carr]

The perception of IQ as a seemingly objective measure of intelligence is frequently used to promote racist pseudoscience on social media.

For this reason, I think it's extremely important for people to know some relevant facts about IQ:

I have been dealing with this issue for months with an online focus group! @Cuthbert_Lab

[Sarah J Tracy 🏜 @SarahJTracy]

I am increasingly hearing about #qualitative researchers who must manage the issue of participants who misrepresent their identities in virtual interviews as a way to receive recruitment incentives like gift cards. How are others managing this?

For some reason when I was a teenager I read a lot about H5N1 (avian flu), and because of that when H1N1 hit in 2009 (swine flu) I was actually relieved, since it felt like we dodged a bullet. So this is 😬

[Reuters Health @Reuters_Health]

France has reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu among red foxes northeast of Paris, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Tuesday, as the spread of the virus to mammals raised global concerns. https://t.co/7rjLFIFoMJ

33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.

[Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk]

I want to engage this question earnestly, b/c it’s a legit question. The answer is yes, I do look at left, too.

Left-wing activists are responsible for 2% of murders committed by political extremists in the US over the past decade; right-wing activists are responsible for 74%.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.
