Stop. @WIRED given the resounding scholarly rejection of this kind of dangerous and pseudoscientific ML research (thanks to people like @Abebab, @forcriticaltech, @annaeveryday, @luke_stark and many others) why are you still breathlessly platforming these baseless claims?
Being able to read body language is an essential human skill. Soon, it might be one for robots, too. Researchers have developed an algorithm that analyzes and guesses how you’re feeling purely by the way you walk: wired.trib.al/eUmHucR

Just a reminder that we have an amazing new professor joining us this semester.
Our first tweet is a big one! We are ecstatic to announce the newest addition to our department, Dr. Joanna Morris. Dr. Morris was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to earn her M.Phil. in theoretical linguistics from Oxford University before completing her Ph.D Psychology at UPenn.

Social interaction protects cognition. Dr. Victoria Templer from Providence College finds social enrichment can protect against cognitive decline in aging and enhances decision making in rats. #APA2020 @vtempler, @nac_lab, @psychologypc @friarbiology @providencecol @RIINBRE

Hey universities - it’s not a good look to say that fac/staff/TFs must be on campus in the fall DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC unless they can prove to you that they should have a medical exemption. And forcing TFs [underpaid student labor already] to be on campus and assume risk? 1/
