Twitter/X has has been a powerful platform for science, & I’ve benefited lots as an ECR. But I can’t condone the direction it’s taking and who’s at the helm. I’ll stick around for a while longer but have officially made the move to Bluesky. Follow me there @imo-b.bsky.social.

Two days ago, a lawfirm filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against 6 commercial publishers (incl Elsevier & Wiley) in the federal district court in New York. They allege a 3-part scheme on part of publishers. 🧵 lieffcabraser.com/antitrust/…

Excellent and important thread. Not only is Haidt's book unhelpfully one-sided, it's also misleading and inaccurate.
So, @JonHaidt announced he would put corrections for "The Anxious Generation" on his website. So, far there is only one entry on the recently created page. After reading the book, I think there should be many more. Maybe we can crowdsource a proper errata page?

Blanket bans on social media for young people is the wrong move. This takes rights away from young people, cuts them off from a core part of their social world and identity, and misdirects the rightful blame on social media giants.
Yes unregulated social media and online env is causing real harm. Make it safe though don’t lock YP out of this world. Deal with the technofeudal barons who control social media.
