Joel Snyder @auditoryjoel.bsky.social · 22hI agree that IIT and GNWT are too complex to be useful but newer theories like @ncowan51.bsky.social ’s funneling idea deserves some serious attention (no pun intended) 100
Joel Snyder @auditoryjoel.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This is insane! And tracks with some communication I've had from current or recent NSF program officers recently, and nothing they told me gave me hope this is going to improve much anytime soon. 041
Joel Snyder @auditoryjoel.bsky.social · 02/10/20262. When you do suggest reviewers, don't just suggest the most established people doing research on that topic. Instead, suggest younger faculty or post-docs since often they accept the assignment, and as a bonus they often still know how to analyze data etc. ; ) #science #psychology #neuroscience 050
Joel Snyder @auditoryjoel.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Some advice for authors submitting to journals (a very short thread from an editor at 2 APA journals): 1. Please always suggest reviewers because your action editor probably isn't going to be an expert on the specific topic of your paper, though hopefully they are adjacent at least. 130

Joel Snyder @auditoryjoel.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yes, that's true. I'm at a large commuter university but we have pretty small classes so a lot of my colleagues assign a fair bit of writing but AI and other challenges make it pretty hard to promote learning. Getting students to talk in class (assuming they show up) seems like part of the solution. 010

Joel Snyder @auditoryjoel.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A mathematician who was interviewed on NPR made a compelling argument why AI is going to be very bad for the field of math. The argument was basically that it will break the incremental *process* of discovery which is just as important as the discoveries themselves. 060

Joel Snyder @auditoryjoel.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Do you allow students to use AI to generate images? I have to say I find it very jarring when a talk at a conference pops up exactly one AI-generated image, often for humor. Seems like a mixed message when AI is such a no-no for other aspects of our work. 100
