Machine learning can detect patterns—but can it detect deception?
A newly published replication of a landmark study on linguistic cues in 911 homicide calls suggests the answer is "no".... at least, not reliably.

Excellent reflections by Brian here and I agree. Transparency and rigour are clearly good things, but the drafters of this order cannot be trusted.
There is a new Executive Order that is closely related to many of the topics promoted in the science reform movement. It deserves a close read as it will surely have implications for how some promoted reforms are implemented in policy and practice. My hot take 🧵

Reliable science takes time. But the current system rewards speed
‘Fast science’ can damage research integrity – just as fast food can damage your health. ‘Slow science’ offers an alternative path forward.
