What better way to end 2025 than getting our paper published in Global Environmental Change 🥳💚 We studied perceptions of the feasibility of climate-relevant behavior change and how these perceptions connect to income differences and climate policy support. Let me tell you all about it🧵👇

Against Publishing: universonline.nl/nieuws/2025/... Preprints are read, shared, and cited, yet still dismissed as incomplete until blessed by a publisher. I argue that the true measure of scholarship lies in open exchange, not in the industry’s gatekeeping of what counts as published.

Had a great, thought-provoking time sitting on the panel about how feminist research and metascience are aligned. Our big argument = metascience IS feminist. It’s asking fundamental questions about knowledge, power, and credibility. We just have never framed it like this explicitly #Metascience2025

Artificial intelligence is fueling an unprecedented boom this year in fake pornographic images and videos. It’s enabled by a rise in cheap and easy-to-use AI tools that can “undress” people in photographs or seamlessly swap a face into a pornographic video. Victims have little recourse.
