Research by @eRubaltelli et al. on charitable giving finds that people perceive cost and benefit asymmetrically, resulting in less willingness to give as donation amounts and lives helped increase. Bundling donation requests helps overcome this asymmetry.

Probabilmente si può generalizzare a molti altri paesi, ma è triste vedere che succede in Italia... La TV vi fa percepire la realtà in modo distorto... molto triste!

This fascinating paper provides evidence from a natural experiment (the introduction of digital TV) that local news helps to drive citizen (mis)perceptions about crime rates.

Probably generalizes to many other countries, but it is sad to see it happening in Italy... TV channels make you see a distorted reality... very sad!

Kipchoge's incredible world record, solo for a huge portion of it, felt almost like the antithesis of the Breaking2 extravaganza. But I don't think 2:01:39 would have happened without that prior 2:00:25.

In Belgium, scientific papers that originate from public funds can now all be made public in open access, regardless of any contract with publishers. It is written in the law. And retroactive.

MTurk Bot-gate 2018, Update:

Apparently the mTurk bots are humans, NOT bots. They are shady mTurkers who use server farms to conceal their identity and crack through surveys. Sean Dennis's working paper below spells out the problem--and how to fix it.
