I was blessed to see @victoriamelody’s Brighton Festival Show today. It was amazing and wonderful. You’ve missed it. I recommend that you take steps never to miss one of her shows again. She is incredible and humane and works with heroic people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor…

One of the most iconic photographic images of the 20th century, 'Migrant Mother', 1936 by Dorothea Lange, featured the family of Florence Thompson, who allowed the photograph to be taken to aid the plight of the US working poor during the Great Depression #WomensArt

To answer some angry questions: yes I do have principles, and one of them is that it's a very bad idea to put serious opinions on Twitter. So you may as well stop haranguing me for them. All I'm saying is: there is no need to bully a sweet, jolly quizzer for playing a TV quiz.

Whether I count as a scientist is up for (tedious) debate but I will talk and listen to anyone anywhere who seems like they are willing to converse in good faith. I will try not to feed the trolls. Anyone else, please chat!

So, for now, I'm staying. I hope others will too. We can't, as scientists, just spend our time talking to each other. The stakes are just too high to cede the battleground of ideas, tempting as it may be. 6/6

Psychologists should STANDARDLY assume multiple possible motives and ask people what they are trying to do and why. (Doh!) Kudos to @carlsonr_ & @mollycrocket1 for allowing participants to report that MANY things can influence their 'Willingness To Pay' osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/yc…

What a great video. I never saw this one before. 1960 Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra singing each other’s songs.
