Hi! I'm a book historian working on what I call the reading spaces model for my dissertation. I'm developing it by focusing on 18th New Spain #EarlyModern #BookHistory Here's a fun post on archival research related to signatures. I also work at an #STS centre on #CitizenScience & #ResearchIntegrity
What they took from us 😓
'Tis the season!
“One Night Cough Syrup” from the 1930s, which contained cannabis, morphine, chloroform, and alcohol! In 1934, the FDA ruled that the claims of the cough syrup's therapeutic properties were misleading, and remaining stock was destroyed.

There is a fixation among some policy makers and researchers on citations as an indicator for impact. And indeed, I am sure the works of Eysenck had huge impact, just not beneficial.

When he was alive, Eysenck was the most cited living psychologist. Citations in the 20th century by total aggregate went Freud, Piaget, Eysenck.
But enough time has passed that this is treated as a historical rather than a contemporary case.

Diederik Stapel was a massive watershed moment in psychology.
However, he was -- and let's be slightly glib here -- some guy from The Netherlands who wrote social psychology papers.
The full accounting of the Eysenck case is approx, at minimum, TWO STAPELS.

Loved this idea. Reading is nowadays often practiced individually and in silence, but we learn how to read by being read aloud and reading aloud ourselves. Teaching students the different ways of reading should not stop once they can decode long sentences. #reading

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.
