Morning of exam grading. I'm quite impressed by what open science is allowing students to do. So far: scales of chronic fatigue overlapping (building on @EikoFried's code), mixed strategies of social learning (based on @_lrendell and Galesic/Barkoczi codes)

@EikoFried @_lrendell and of course I almost overlooked how incredibly enabling #brms, @mcmc_stan tidyverse, #rstats, @rstudio, #oTree, #Python and @psychopy are. what my students are doing was basically impossible for the average students in my uni years (early 2000's)

@EikoFried @_lrendell So much more good stuff! More on critical social learning in agent-based-models (ABM). A study building on a simplified version of @bahadorbahrami's Optimally Interacting Minds to investigate gender bias, then implementing the empirical biases in this ABM: github.com/penelopy/bias_…

@EikoFried @_lrendell @bahadorbahrami And even more open science! Expanding @zerdeve's excellent model of scientific progress, the students add network structure to "investigate consensus in science and find that scientific consensus surrounding truth might be the exception, not the rule". Ouch!

@EikoFried @_lrendell @bahadorbahrami @zerdeve Evening spent learning about semantic dynamics in the Czech parliament. The students first reproduce @SimonDeDeo's French parliament results: novel speeches are more influential in the short term, then show that novelty plays a harsher price in the longer term

@EikoFried @_lrendell @bahadorbahrami @zerdeve @SimonDeDeo This morning's work: testing implicit gender/STEM bias (IAT by @BrianNosek) across educations from more traditionally STEM, via CogSci to more traditional Arts ones.

Then a super-cool test of how social conformity in trustworthiness judgments (from here: nature.com/articles/s4159…) varies as a function of the rated face being of own or other ethnicity (no main effect, but lots of individual variability there)

Uh, and now students building different taxation/economic systems on top of @alexpluchino 's ABM model of the reciprocal role of talent and luck.
