- Un rapport "Education et croissance" écrit par notre nouveau Nobel d'économie en 2004. Promoteur de la LRU, de l'Université payante et de la suppression du CNRS, le tout en préconisant de faire ces réformes discrètement, "sans donner l’impression de remettre en cause ses fondements". 🤦

- Reposted by Antoine CoutrotNew paper by @njudd.com shows that an additional year of education doesn't causally affect telomere length in old age, despite many (theory) accounts arguing otherwise. It's been desk rejected by 13 journals happy to publish small 'positive' telomere studies. Sigh. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Antoine CoutrotNew personal record of desk rejects 🥳 I am taking a note of journals that take over a month for the desk 📖 It is also a unusual situation where pretty much everything has been already reviewed at eLife on our Neuro paper (click for open reviews), now the sample size is just substantially larger.

- Reposted by Antoine CoutrotYup. But even complete knowledge of every conceivable microscopic detail down to the quantum level wouldn't tell us "how the brain works". This is one of the lessons of the research on artificial neural networks: we know all parameters already, but understanding still eludes us. 🧵
