"The paper doesn't explain what parts are important. What parts are routine?” …this episode is a reminder that mathematics is about more than just finding a solution, said Maynard. "It wasn't about only answering this problem, it was about the human understanding behind it," he said.”

AI solved one of math's hardest problems. Humanity learned nothing (so far)

OpenAI beat humans to solving the Navier-Stokes problem, but mathematicians say the AI's solution isn't telling them much.

🚨 Workforces exposed to globalization and decarbonization are often overwhelmingly male. New article at @ajpseditor.bsky.social with @rickyclark.bsky.social and @rkhoban.bsky.social asks how layoffs of these men shape voting: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

AJPS article: "Breadwinner Backlash." Abstract: Low-skilled men have long been vulnerable to globalization, decarbonization, and other forms of economic disruption. When shocks are realized, women often increase their paid labor to compensate for men's loss of income. We study how layoffs of low-skilled men and concurrent shifts in workforce composition toward women affect voting. We theorize that this labor market rebalancing produces “nostalgic” coalitions of men and women that seek a return to male-breadwinner family models. Such attitudes fuel right-wing movements that pledge to protect conservative gender roles. Evidence from local labor markets and voting in the United States over the last two decades, as well as a longitudinal study tracking individual Americans over several decades, support this theory. These findings contribute a new gender-based account of the globalization backlash.

Ich wollte mich aus dem Diskurs heraushalten, weil ich (vergeblich) versuche, den Fokus auf Academia zu halten. Der Diskurs der vergangenen Tage hat mich aber irritiert, weil er das verzerrte Bild, das die Gesellschaft von Juden:Jüdinnen hat, so drastisch offenlegt. Zum Bsp. ist der Vergleich mit

Artikel in der Jüdischen Allgemeinen, Rubrik „Zuwanderer“ vom 27.01.2023
Titel „Großer Teil der Juden in Deutschland lebt in Armut“

Artikel in der Taz vom 09.03.2025 taz
Altersarmut von Jüdinnen und Juden: „

Sehr viele gute Argumente in diesem Text, aber dieses hatte ich noch nicht gehört.

Was wäre also eine bessere Strategie?
Haker: Ich würde den Neutralitätsbegriff soweit es geht meiden. Häufig geht es in Neutralitätsdiskursen eigentlich darum, die Autonomie des Wissenschaftssystems gegenüber dem politischen System zu bewahren. Wenn man den Begriff der Autonomie im Diskurs nutzen würde, wäre sofort klar, dass extrem rechte Angriffe auf die Wissenschaft unabhängigkeitsgefährdend sind. Diskriminierende Äußerungen, Bedrohungen und Beleidigungen, Sachbeschädigungen und Gewalt sind für Betroffene autonomiegefährdend.

New working paper. We propose a theory of dynamic identity-based linkages between voters and parties. We base this theory on models of expressive voting where voting signifies joining a community of social groups of voters. People have a sense of which parties are associated with which groups.

Psychological Science special issue call 📣 Ever had your research denigrated bc it's "only descriptive", "what's the mechanism though?" and "but what are the theoretical implications?" Now has come your time to shine. Send your best descriptive work! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Psychological Science invites submissions that advance psychological science through careful description of psychological phenomena. Psychological research often focuses on explaining and predicting phenomena before we have a sufficiently detailed understanding of them. It can be difficult to build strong theories on incomplete empirical foundations of the phenomena themselves. Careful descriptive research helps establish shared empirical reference points developed around well-characterized phenomena. As such, descriptive research contributes to psychological science both by improving our understanding of the phenomena themselves and by providing a stronger foundation for future theory-building, explanation, and prediction.

We are interested in manuscripts that:

Deepen our understanding of psychological phenomena, including what they look like, how they vary, and how they unfold;
Draw on a variety of sources of evidence and methods, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches; research conducted in naturalistic settings; intensive, longitudinal, or small-sample designs; and open or large-scale datasets;
Provide necessary context for interpreting what is being described, including who is represented in the data, the settings and circumstances in which phenomena occur, and the broader social contexts in which they are situated; and/or
Make a substantive contribution to psychological science through the quality, depth, or significance of the description provided.
The deadline for submitting regular manuscripts is April 15, 2027. Registered Reports will also be considered. The deadline for submitting Stage 1 Registered Reports is November 15, 2026. Authors should indicate in the “Comments to Editor” box during submission that the manuscript is intended for the “Descriptive Research in Psychological Science” special issue.
