Animals understand the sun more than us humans do

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Surprisingly large correlations between fine motor skills and academic outcomes. Biggest correlate is ability using a pencil/pen. True for adults too.

Humans are embodied creatures. Our hands help our brains to learn.

@PhysInHistory We are one and the same fractal.

A great start of #QCTiP2025 with Vlad Sivak of @GoogleQuantumAI speaking about new exciting experiments on #quantumerrorcorrection, following an introductory talk of myself explaining the setting and some of the history and @IMathYou2 leading through the program.

NGC 2090 looks good in any light!

Hubble's visible and ultraviolet view shows off the galaxy's bright core and dusty disk, while @NASAWebb's infrared vision details the galaxy's two winding arms and swirling gas.

I relate so much to these lines from Data Viz by Kieran Healy! Started R #DataViz and learned to code as needed. I initially struggled with matrices/vectors, but graphics made it rewarding. Quick results boosted confidence. For R beginners, dive into data viz first. #RStats

I can’t stop thinking, so I'm writing something.

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

#ASFP2023 Roll Call! I’m a Phd student at University of Kansas who’s helping underrepresented PhD applicants in psychology through @asfp_phd because I want to give a helping hand to those underrepresented students, to spread the support and love I got before.

[Barbara Aboagye | Concrete Researcher @awesome_ama]

I created a scholarship database that has 700+ scholarships for PhD, MSc/MA, BSc, and MBA for different study programs in different countries.

There's a scholarship for everyone.

Now let me show you how to use it to fast-track your study abroad process

[dharma @dharmaucsb]

Exciting (albeit months late) news--I will be staying on as lab manager for 23-24 for the amazing META Lab and Spatial Thinking Lab @UCSBpsych . 🥳Extremely grateful and honored.

[Zach Mercurio @ZachMercurio]

Experiencing meaningfulness in work isn't a "nice-to-have;" it's a core driver of health & well-being.

Leaders can play a pivotal role in facilitating meaningful work in any occupation.

In our new research published in @SpringerNature's Occupational Health Science journal, we identify six major practices leaders can enact that relate to increased positive meaning in work (along with other important outcomes).

My graduate school advisor who is a very accomplished and renowned scientist told me that once a day he’ll open a random textbook to a random page and go over the basics: every time he discovers something new. You’re never too old or advanced to revisit the fundamentals.
