I engage in the subversive act of teaching how to read and document science. The Heliocentric Model of #OpenScience. @aeryn_thrace@mastodon.social

The situations are extremely different. Jon's power was not institutional and that made him extremely vulnerable. Lakens is well established and protected by powerful institutions vested in keeping their good name, >

Just taught two more seminars on learning to read science papers.

Some rambly thoughts (tired)

It is the most amazing thing to see the wonder in the students' eyes. That moment when they get it, especially when they SEE that who researchers are matters to the science they do. We've been using a paper on baseball players to study the malleability of perception. When they first read it they take it at face value, then we deconstruct that the authors are American, living in the US & using an American activity about which they make universal claims. 🤢

This hasn't gotten much attention and I admit I'm disappointed.

There's a lot of talk about #inclusion and #diversity in #science, right along with countless heated discussions of #unconscious #bias permeating all of science. But talk and discussions won't solve the problem> Taking steps to promote inclusivity & discourage bias will.

Why is it important to talk about this here if this is just a relatively small workshop?

1. To draw attention to what we can DO; talk is cheap.

Thread on children's rights and personhood.

The kid had a dentist appt today. Turns out he's terrified of dentists: his first visit was with someone who was impatient and lost his temper. The dentist was also a big man. The kid is only about 118cm & 20kg. He's very little. 1/11 We obviously changed dentist but have struggled. We finally decided that the best thing was to put him under. It was not an easy decision to take. We know some things about the effects of narcotics on children's brains, but not much, etc. 2/11
