Congratulations (and thank you) to @talboger.bsky.social, who lectured in front of nearly 500 @jhu.edu undergraduates today on the psychology of music! They didn’t see it coming, and then they loved it :)

So enjoyed hearing @ruizhegoh.bsky.social share his work on the perception of silence on the latest episode of @vox.com’s “unexplainable” podcast! 🤫 #poopoo

I really enjoyed reading Steven Pinker’s new book and thinking through what it would take to share infinitely iterated knowledge with someone (I know that you know that I know that you know…).

In @science.org, my colleague @jeremygoodman.bsky.social & I briefly give our perspective on this issue.
