"You have to wonder whether the field of Alzheimer’s research has a disproportionate level of bad science, or whether it’s just getting disproportionate attention and all fields are like that."

So pleased to finally see this paper in print. In what we think is one of the largest meta-analyses of animal behaviour, we find no evidence for inequity aversion in nonhumans (in accept/reject paradigms). Led by @oded_ritov & with @JanEngelmann5 & Christoph Völter. 👇
Two papers.
On the left, a non-randomized, non-crossover study showing that a one-off sauna exposure significantly decreased arterial stiffness, with implications on cardiovascular health.
On the right, a randomized, crossover (more robust) study, showing no benefits on arterial stiffness or blood flow. Note the colossal difference in Altmetric score and media attention.
The media favors sensational but flawed studies over rigorous ones, distorting public understanding. #science #media
We are indescribably sad to announce the passing of our dear friend and colleague Kristian Tylén
His presence at the IMC will be forever missed and his impact on us all is beyond words
Our thoughts are with his wife and children in this difficult time

Other animals might lack language (and other human-distinctive behavioural traits) because they perform badly at remembering sequences of stimuli

It's important to realize that immigration has been the wellspring of innovation and economic growth over the entire history of the U.S. and well back into European history. "American Ingenuity" is heavily a story of immigration. @WhoIsDit@mmuthukrishna
