New paper out: What do universities mean when they talk about diversity? A computational language model quantifies: doi.org/10.1007/s12115… @ZachG932 @MattGrossmann @Steve_Sailer @epkaufm @NoahCarl90 @whyvert @paulg @PsychRabble @CampbellSocProf @JonHaidt @clairlemon @CHSommers
Universities predilection for demographic diversity over intellectual diversity is uniform across most of the studied universities @jordanbpeterson @EricRWeinstein @RubinReport @sapinker @BretWeinstein @NAChristakis @TheFIREorg @glukianoff @Ayaan @SocialGeometer @SteveStuWill
For those wishing to play with the computational language models used in the paper, you can do so at nlp.op-bit.nz and quantify universities implicit associations for your queries of interests. @peterboghossian @SatoshiKanazawa @PTetlock

New paper out today!

Dark Matter Strikes Back at the Galactic Center
arxiv.org/abs/1904.08430

We show that dark matter annihilation might explain the excess of gamma rays detected at the center of our galaxy, after all.
Mega-thread explaining our results and backstory below!
1/ Back in 2009, Dan Hooper (@DanHooperAstro) and Lisa Goodenough used publicly available data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope (@NASAFermi) to examine gamma rays (very high-energy light) from the center of our Milky Way galaxy.
2/ They found an excess of gamma rays with energies a billion times that of visible light. Since then, there has been extensive debate over the origin of these mysterious excess high-energy gamma rays.

When making a decision, like what to have for lunch, you have consider your options 🌮🍔🍕
Chief among these considerations is how good each item would be right now: their incentive value.

Nuanced thread. 1/n, unnumbered, ending in END. On changing scientific publishing norms, which, even if they reflect political biases, which they almost surely do, can *STILL* improve psych science. (warnning: mute if my threading annoys you).
This is the Story of Lisa Littmann and her paper (maybe) discovering Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD). What is the problem? Wrong q, because there were probably at least 3 problems:
1.Activists' agenda was threatened by evid of ROGD;
2. PLoS, the pub outlet, issued an Orwellian "correction"
3.The paper has bona fide limitations.

New paper out based on a massive sample (n = 355,358) finds that screens explain less than 0.4% of depression AND shows why previous research is deeply flawed - unless you are willing to believe potatoes and eyeglasses are also destroying a generation (Thread 1/13)
2/13 Although most scholars would agree this effect is tiny – similar effect sizes using this SAME data set are the basis for the radical claims about the dangers of smart phones. But what the Nature: HB paper does next is exciting.
3/13 It examines how strongly various neutral items in these data sets were related to depression (below a 1x effect means it had the same effect as screen time). For example, the effect of wearing eyeglasses on depression is 1.45 times greater than the effect of screens!

Hold on folks, here we go!
With Green New Dealers demanding action and international negotiators pursuing progress in Poland, there's renewed interest in ambitious action on climate change. Paris riots also remind us that voters’ appetite for expensive energy policies is not unlimited.
Finding feasible and cost-effective paths to a carbon-free grid is as important as ever! For guidance, @max_energy @samthernstrom & I reviewed 40 academic studies charting course to a decarbonized power system & synthesized findings in a paper just published in the journal Joule.

New paper out, w/Mike Ransom: "Do High School Sports Build or Reveal Character?" ftp.iza.org/dp11110.pdf /1
In the paper we examine whether being an athlete in high school causes better educational, labor market, and health outcomes as an adult. /2
We find that almost all "effects" of sports are actually due to selection. i.e. correlation is not causation /3
