We could have called this episode "Curiosity: The Original Sin". buff.ly/4dq6hxz
What sort of virtues is #curiosity (and #wonder) and where are the boundaries where it's seen as indulgent or sinful? How is it harnessed to advance knowledge?
How has all this changed through the centuries, from religion, to scientific societies, to modern-day academia, and yes, to educational systems?All this, and more, with @marcelloseri, @philipcball (who wrote the book on Curiosity) and @BrianOstafin, wonder-science extraordinaire.

What is life and how does it work?
Science writer @philipcball explores a new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more ingenious affair than we had guessed.

Much appreciation for @aytckrby and coauthors for this great piece of work! Read through this thread to learn about auditory memory set-size effects (errors increase as memory load increases).
🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨 Excited to share our latest study introducing the Auditory Reproduction Task (ART), a novel method to explore auditory working memory using circular reproduction tasks🎶🧠with @RobNijenkamp, @TSarampalis & Daryl Fougnie .🧵👇

“...you don’t care about those first three pages; those you will throw out, those you needed to write to get to that fourth page, to get to that one long paragraph that was what you had in mind when you started, only you didn’t know that, couldn’t know that, until you got to it”
I love this excerpt from @ANNELAMOTT's Bird by Bird. Writing is creation, discovery, conversation. We talked about some of this and building a strong relationship with writing on Degrees of Freedom soundcloud.com/degrees_of_fr… with @marcelloseri @Scriptorcube and @OleGmelin
New Degrees of Freedom! This time, @marcelloseri and I talk to @Scriptorcube and @OleGmelin about developing a strong and healthy relationship to (academic) writing. Lots of good advice and thoughts!
What is YOUR relationship to writing like?

Ungrading has received more attention recently in #HigherEducation but still misconstrued as "let's get rid of grades". Instead it's best to think of it as a rethinking of the role of grades in teaching&learning. Listen to our latest episode to learn more

We had a lovely discussion recently on Degrees of Freedom, with 2 other higher-ed podcasters, with the topic... 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣?

I love reading. Also talking about it. Listen to our new episode of Degrees of Freedom where @marcelloseri, Henrieke Krijgsheld, Frans Sijtsma, of the @SuSoRUG, and I talk about the joys and questions of (academic) reading. Let us know what you think!

Everyone loves a conspiracy theory, but what can we tell about the psychology behind their proliferation? Why do people believe them? How do they share them? And what are the consequences? @Karen_Douglas will answer all this and more 8/n
So what are you waiting for? Go sign up and join us on December 7th and 8th to talk about how to understand truth and science communication better. Registration is free, here: tinyurl.com/nbtt2023
