The data from the task is compelling because there is no "correct" answer; it's a free choice! Super-recognisers are grouping faces based on identity rather than valence or gaze angle. This ends up interfering their expression-matching in an independent face task (they are worse when faces mismatch)

It is a call-to-action against academic structures, to redefine research rigour away from a system that prioritises speed and quantity and towards relationship and connection as forms of deeper understanding! I totally agree that we need reform of our academic systems that is centered on all people!

Cammi raises that decolonisng the mind requires cultural humility, lifelong learning and commitment towards critical perspectives and resistance to oppressive structures and extractive models of inquiry. Wawu centers positionality, intersectionality, connection, deep listening and collaboration.

Indigenous philosphy take a relational accountability framework, tying together knowledge as inseparable from ethics and care to the land and community. It redefines knowledge as stories to be shared and listened to, rather than data to be extracted from people and the world.

Wawu means spirit - the life force connecting people, Country and story; it conveys that knowledge and care are intertwined, and that knowledge is relationship and responsibility.

The second keynote for the conference is Cammi Murrup-Stewart on "Connection as Knowledge: Decolonising Mind through Wawu". A good reminder on our responsibility as knowledge leaders is sure to come.

There is also a slight effect of the secondary source (such as the account posting the claim, as opposed to who is the source of the claim); people were more likely to share claims with an independent consensus, and least so for those with a dependent consensus with the same secondary source.

Next, @scondes.bsky.social is looking at whether repeated presentations of the claim from the same source compared to diverse sources is a vehicle of misinformation. Repetitions lead to greater confidence in the claims, and slightly moreso for those with diverse sources for the claim provided.

The perceived funniness of the meme interacted with the agreement with the point made by the meme; a funnier meme will need less to be agreed with. Using memes that provide the analogy and logic of the argument are more effective!

Plus, researchers with potential financial conflicts of interest were more than twice as likely to publish positive effects. 2/

It was quite chaotic – I think we were ready to engage in thinking on how to improve research assessment and put it into practice at institutions, but the game ended up muddling what responsible research assessment is and the role of DORA in that! Alas, but fun for me to share the table with you!
