Result: The piece cited me with the line “this is amazing” and ignored everything else…Can you believe this? #AcademicTwitter. Why interviewing me at all? Such an answer can be provided by any random person or cats and dogs. #fakenews suck but #giddyjournalism as well.

[Simone Pika she/her @Evol_of_Com]

Really #angry today. A journalist asked me to #comment on a recently published paper. I said yes, read the paper, checked the presented evidence and gave the journalist my view, limitations and how to move forward.

How do words evolve? @josh_c_jackson et al show that negative adjectives evolve faster than positive adjectives. Individual people are also more likely to replace negative words than positive words.
