Proud of this review with @AlisonGopnik ! -
'The development of human causal learning and reasoning'
- now available here: https://t.co/Io7Kt1DL05 @NatRevPsych
We review the development of human-unique causal understanding from an 'interventionist' perspective, outlining
✨Well, I'm just thrilled to be among the group of wonderful investigators named an APS Rising Star! Thanks to all of my mentors that laid out a path and the many collaborators and trainees that I get to do this work with. https://t.co/oxrC3uqafG
We are thrilled to announce the Paul Meehl Graduate School for metascience at Eindhoven University of Technology. We will offer 6-8 free workshops a year for metascience PhD students. You can register and find more information at https://t.co/CqoPm7czYI
I chaired a search committee for an open Asst/Assoc Prof. We did 15 zoom pre-interviews. We had 7 questions that lasted 25 mins, w/ an opportunity for the candidates to ask questions at the end. Here are my tips from that experience, themed around song lyrics! Enjoy!

0 for 2 on co-authored CHI submissions this year. You cannot win them all. Setbacks and resubmissions are completely normal in research. If you’re a grad student feeling bad about rejection, chin up and keep on pushing toward your goals!
Excellent episode on meta-analysis and what they teach us about how we need to improve how we do science to better integrate knowledge, as well as a very interesting observation about how you'd hope our effect sizes increase over time because we learn more (but they don't).
Come learn more about our grad programs in Computer Science and Informatics at Emory (+ get an application fee waiver if you attend!) https://t.co/zDfnoU7CzU
On this day in 1970 Doug Engelbart was awarded the US patent for the computer mouse, which became an icon for his life's work, but in fact was among his LEAST significant contributions. Today we revisit his seminal talk:

Excited to share Bluefish, a new JS library for making diagrams!
Bluefish lets you code diagrams like they're UIs: using declarative components and reactivity.

Quick backstory 🧵
When I'm thinking about HCI implications for LLMs, I keep coming back to David Kirsh's work. Here is a great paper about how tools influence thinking and work. https://t.co/0qXCz7yFKN
Let's once again congratulate the winners of the ✨2023 #GlushkoPrize for outstanding doctoral dissertations in Cognitive Science✨Valentina Bruno @valentinabruno_, Frederick Callaway @callfredaway, Samuel Cheyette, Mathias Sablé-Meyer @MSableMeyer, and Erin Isbilen @erin_isbilen
In the LLM-science discussion, I see a common misconception that science is a thing you do and that writing about it is separate and can be automated. I’ve written over 300 scientific papers and can assure you that science writing can’t be separated from science doing. Why? 1/18
@levikul09 YES we should visualize, BUT descriptive stats VS vis is a false dichotomy. It’s not that descriptive (vs inferential) stats are deceptive, rather measures of central tendency are insufficient in this case. So it’s misleading to call the class of descriptives misleading :)
