Virtual items won in loot boxes have value, even when they can't be "cashed out" for real-world currency. They may, therefore, meet the "value" criterion necessary to be regulated as a form of gambling in many jurisdictions. rdcu.be/b5iSr

I am currently an adjunct assistant prof. at the same university that I earned my PhD at in August. To complete my hire, they just made me pay them $10 so that they could send the official transcripts...to themselves. This is what academia is.

Loving #vSARMAC and @jevinwest 's keynote. It gave me the "excited jitters". Listened while prepping my 7yo for school. Thanks @jevinwest and @OfficialSARMAC infusing my morning with awesome science!

So @theprojecttv sent me a request to be on their program. I considered it for a moment, then remembered what happened in 2017. x.com/aamer_rahman/status/12…

Know an outstanding ECR working in applied memory and cognition? Consider nominating them for the J. Don Read Early Career Award.

The last four years have been a whirlwind. I'd forgotten some of these things (there are too many to remember). They shouldn't be forgotten. It's worth taking the 2 minutes to remind yourself.
On the eve of Election Day, watch @mehdirhasan try to cut through the BS and summarize the Trump years in two minutes flat. Start the clock:

Great advice.
Dr. Anthony Fauci lays out three ways future scientific communicators can build trust: 1) Always go by the data 2) Admit when you don't know something 3) The goal is not to show how smart you are. It's to get people to understand what you're talking about. #FauciAtYale
