- Poppy is “helping” me read this paper today
- Is the pain of null data taking up slots in your working memory? Or shifting you over optimum arousal on the Yerkes Dodson curve? Not for me! I've externalized it to this lovely preprint! Plus, read on for why it might not be the pain that causes deficits in your working memory... 🧵
- Poppy, Stella and Noelle 100% agree with this writeup
- This is the funniest science writeup I've seen in a long time. It's about why cats are so perfectly evolved 🧪 Apparently lots of other animals have "tried to be cats" and the fact that other species have so much more variation is "because they suck" 😆 www.scientificamerican.com/article/cats...

- Reposted by Caroline PhelpsWhy do we remember so many details of our experiences even when it is unclear if we will actually ever need them? In a new preprint, @marcelomattar.bsky.social and I asked whether this property is adaptive, because what will be relevant in the future often (usually?!) isn’t apparent.
