I received minor corrections today. I sat down and did them immediately. Like all on the same day. Proud. A nice birthday gift is coming.

I have decided not to submit articles to journals that use editorialmanager as their system. Likewise for reviewing. It's impossible to log in. Ever.

New paper alert: You cannot respond to a risk if you do not recognise it first. Understanding how people perceive STI & HIV risk is crucial for encouraging testing, partner notification, and ultimately reducing transmission. A wonderful student-led collaboration www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Ashamed of politicians across the spectrum here in Europe for having ignored the genocide and continuing to do so. *All* human rights orgs working on the ground agree with this assessment, including *all* Israeli ones. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

Does being a progressive man come at a social cost? Not at all; it pays off. Across 4 prereg. experiments, progressive men were perceived more positively than traditionally masculine men. Ayca’s second PhD paper already published nearing the submission of her PhD! Very proud! doi.org/10.1002/casp...

What is gained through the public humiliation of Jason Arday is of course the reinforcement of racial hierarchy under the guise of meritocracy. Far far greater sins committed by members of dominant groups in academia are routinely absolved as individual foibles.

This is appalling and tragic. Cambridge University, the media, and those far right 'scholars' and hangers on who sought to capitalise on this case for social media clout surely bear responsibility for what feels like an entirely predictable outcome. www.lbc.co.uk/article/jaso...

They were warned that this was a likely outcome, and they made fun of the warnings and carried on anyway.

My house is the cleanest when I am about to travel. Fresh sheets, no laundry, no trash, cleaned fridge, everywhere vacuumed, no mess left around. I leave it in a pristine condition to find it like that upon return. Do I value my future self more than my current self?

At the general meeting of EASP, we are discussing whether voting rights should be extended to PhD students and there are people arguing against… Insane. They are fee paying members and they don’t have voting rights - that’s what we should be worried about, not anything else.

I’m tired of AI being attached to everything. My work computer was updated and now ADOBE offers to summarise long PDFs. I do use AI but I don’t want it to be enforced on me.

Yesterday on Zoom, @sw13ley.bsky.social shared his theory of current events that “we all died in covid and now we are all in hell”, and nothing makes more sense than this right now. Thanks friend for clarifying the world to me 😬

It should have been three tiers: divide the second class into naturalized whites and naturalized people of colour, and make the latter even more precarious like deport them if they voice an opinion or something. Without any due diligence.

Wrong. Absolutely wrong move. With increasing number of applications, what we need is a basic scientific quality and feasibility check, then lottery. Writing full proposal, interview etc all are absolute rubbish. The outcome is only slightly better than chance. It’s waste of everyone’s time.

We tested an idea: how does participation consistency affect ally perceptions? Well, allies are perceived positively across the board, but this becomes less positive if their participation in movement are inconsistent or gradually decline. A great work with great colleagues.

I decided to remove my final lecture "How to improve intergroup relations" - I talk about recategorisation, contact theory etc. To be honest, at the peak of this global invasion, I no longer believe any of these theories to make a difference. We need sane leaders to start with for anything to work.

Two of my PhD students' first papers from their projects were both published in 2025 - and they both hit 10th citations each. It's so nice to see them doing impactful research that counts.
Two papers from google scholar, both published in 2025 and cited 10 times.
