I usually don't talk politics here, but as a Russian abroad I feel the urge to remind people that for the past 15 years #Putin has been carefully crafting a monstrous repression machine to prevent ANY bottom-up change in Russian society.

Our latest work on active inference models of driving behavior and the importance of input features is now available on research gate: researchgate.net/publication/36…. This work is a collaboration with Alfredo Garcia, Gustav Markkula, and Waymo and was led by our own Ran Wei!

As an academic writing coach, here are the 5⃣ most common mistakes I see researchers make in their scientific papers. 🧵A thread. #AcademicChatter #PostDoc

”… now Cocaine Bear has to walk it like it talks it. To fulfill the promise of the trailer, it needs to only be a film about a bear on cocaine.” This is how I will explain academic paper writing from now on 😂 theguardian.com/film/2022/nov/…

Very excited to post our lab’s first paper where we propose a new theory of learning and dopamine function science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Here’s a few folks in our lab being taught by my daughter to dance to a “dopamine” song to celebrate 1/30

Science ran a big experiment on itself for the last ~60 years. It didn't work out. experimentalhistory.substack.com/p/the-rise-and…

Hard to imagine a more effective promotion of non-Twitter social media platforms than this tweet right here

OK yesterday's antics around banning promotion of other social media was the last straw for me, so I will join the #mastodonmigration 🐘 You can find me at @[email protected] Might cross/double post here on Twitter also, not sure let's see

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! We're proud to celebrate the incredible #WomenInSTEM in our research group at Institute for Transport Studies at Leeds and University of Leeds, who continue to make outstanding contributions in #Transport and #HumanFactors. Let's support and empower #WomenInScience worldwide!

Fascinating talk by Gustav Gustav Markkula at the Cognitive Robotics department @tudelft3mE linking robotics and computational cognitive neuroscience through the evolutionary perspective 🤖🧠

This HybridSocieties conference was such a lovely experience. Thanks to Bertolt Meyer, @kanounolfa and all for the great organisation and vision! 🤖🧠🤖🧠

I asked #chatgpt4 to channel the late George Carlin in the middle of a co-coding session, and this happened 🤯:

Pleasure to welcome @MartinTedward and Linda Miller from @HumanFactorsUlm visiting us this week, and collaborating with Gustav Markkula on cognitive #modelling in #AutomatedDriving. Nice presentations yesterday led to fruitful discussions Virtuocity | University of Leeds !

Our latest paper on mathematical modelling of road user interaction, including some cool data from a study where we connected our driving and pedestrian simulators:

Oh god this is the most liberating thing I have read in a while - since Twitter got Muskulosis I guess One key point: "for managers and decision makers in universities: Please stop encouraging academics to use social media as a way to create research impact and engagement"
