🚨 New paper! 🚨 We often fail to foresee how our science can indirectly harm individuals and groups, e.g., by shaping social perceptions. In a new PLOS Comp Biol paper, we outline ten simple rules to facilitate thinking on our social impacts journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… A 🧵 1/10

Thrilled an extraordinary collaboration co-first authored w/ Mael Lebreton & w/ all-stars Jean Daunizeau, Andrea Fariña, Jorg Gross, & Carsten De Dreu: “Learning rules of engagement for social exchange w/in and between groups”, out in PNASNews: tinyurl.com/2f3cw2zv. A 🧵

In this book I try to show that human being is an aesthetic phenomenon. This changes how we think about the project of cognitive science and the science of consciousness. It also lets us rethink our understanding of the place of art and philosophy in our lives.

How to measure the true impact of interdisciplinary science? Our paper featured on the cover of PNAS (PNASNews) introduces a network-based approach. PDF: barabasilab.com/science/public… Let's dive into the highlights! #ScienceOfScience 1/n
