Ever wondered why people argue whether music is a "universal language"? Here is my take published today.

[nature @Nature]

Societies, animals and even machines have music in common

And the @Nature essay is probably the only thing I’ve published yet that I think even non-academics will enjoy. Here is a gift link to the full PDF if needed (though it lacks some of the cool audio/visuals of the link above) 🔓: https://t.co/9gFKKExc6B

My book is now published! 🌏🎶🧪
You can download it for free at https://t.co/DZw1BS65eJ - I’d be grateful if you do!
I also published an accessible summary with audio/video today in @Nature: https://t.co/FvO6vtol0o
Try that first, then give the whole book a read if you like it!

Thanks in advance for helping share this widely! The book took >8 years to write, and represents the synthesis of my entire academic career to date. I even paid 🤑🤑🤑 so you can download it for free! (So don’t bother paying for the physical book unless that's important to you!)

This will probably be my last post here. Find me over there!

Should have mentioned this great quote from The Wire also applies to data/code availability statements!

And yet, at the end of the day, you can still live the "life of kings" if you have the integrity to do what's right even if it's not the way to win the game

@CACR_NZ @ellie_rukuwai A great presentation!

Last Friday, Dr Ellie Rukuwai and Dr Nuzha Saleem from our Centre presented a CACR lecture, titled "Kaupapa Māori Methodology and qualitative methods: An Endeavour to Humanise Psychology".

Thanks to the creators, actors, and characters of The Wire for daily inspiration. Truly one of the great works of art of the 21st century. RIP Wallace, Lance Reddick, and Michael K. Williams ✊ (13/13)

@alexandreafonso wrote about "How Academia Resembles a Drug Gang" (https://t.co/68BzZ1spsR). Here are some timeless quotes from my favourite TV show The Wire that I often think about in my daily life as an academic. From peer review to data analysis, it's all in the game. (1/13)
