Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Experiencing this at all stages of the publication pipeline: * As an editor who asks 25+ people before securing two peer reviewers. * As a reviewer fielding 7-10 new requests per week. * An an author who has waited ~4 months for reviewers. AI is DDOS on actual scientific progress. 0100
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Totally agree. Teenage recognition might be very wonky. I am also interested in circus workers who work on stilts, or even folks who regularly wear high heels- does this provide more perceptual flexibility? 010
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026In all, yes, the visual system is tuned to visual experience, and individual differences in visual experience matter. And yes, taller folks really do look down on me! 😜 6/6 Link to paper in JEPG: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...psycnet.apa.orgAPA PsycNet 2212
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Critically, height predicted observers' performance in a rapid categorization task: shorter observers performed better for faces in the upper visual field, while taller observers were better in the lower, consistent with their lived experience of faces. 5/ 2164
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Fixations compensate for this, with the effect even slightly reversing for faces. 4/ 110
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026When we consider all faces and hands (fixated and not) in one's view, we see that taller individuals see faces lower in the visual field, and hands higher. This is consistent with shorter folks looking up at faces. 3/ 110
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026In this picture, two observers of different heights are walking in the same place. When creating the Visual Experience Dataset, I was often struck by how different one's experience of the same place could be. 2/ 150
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026🚨New paper alert! 🚨 The visual system tunes itself to the statistics of its input. How do individual experiences differently tune vision? In this work, @bjbalas.bsky.social and I examined how one individual difference—height—changes the visual diet and how this affects perception. 1/ 29432

Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I think you’re right about the goal. I question whether it’s a good goal. I think a lot about overly-automated science. Too many papers that too few people read, and a loss of science as a process rather than a series of outcomes. I agree with the Field medalists’ take: mathandai.orgmathandai.orgDeclaration — Math and AIRead the declaration and add your name. 231
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I love this. This should be the model for all departments. 100
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This! 100% this! Why are we academics except to over-read, over-write, and over-think? 110
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I cannot. Can we really not be bothered to read and write? 4210
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Also (crossing streams), I hope we don’t get swept tonight 110
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Clearly. Anyone who knows this field knows it’s technical. 110

Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I share that discomfort. (At a recent conference, a colleague pointed to a poster figure, bragging that it was end-to-end GPT Image-2... it felt like they were bragging about not changing their underwear for 3 days). This is a stats course, so images don't really come up. 010
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Yeah, I’m a big fan of the html syllabus. It’s also easier to update if needed mid-semester. 110
Michelle Greene @mgreenephd.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I updated my gen-AI classroom policy for this semester.
