Can faces seen in the past influence how trustworthy a new face looks? Our new paper with Clare Sutherland, Linda Jeffery, and @mauromanassi.bsky.social, shows that impressions of trustworthiness are dynamically shaped by recent visual experience. Link to the article: rdcu.be/fnqIL 🧵1/6

Time, space and feature similarity determine attractive and repulsive serial biases in trustworthiness impressions

Gotta love Nature's opinion pieces "Science funding needs fixing - but not like that" "Academic publishing is broken - but publishing less is not the solution" "AI will kill science - how can researchers use it to be more efficient?"

Let's talk about "grumpy lab person". Many labs have them. With an eye to keeping science at its most rigorous, they cross the line into criticism that's too harsh. They are the ones who risk killing your scientific spirit. They are reviewer 2. /1

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.
