- I'm thrilled to announce that, as of today, @Nature will consider Registered Reports for confirmatory research in cognitive neuroscience and the behavioral/social sciences. Please spread the word! @chrisdc77 @OSFramework @MarikeSchiffer @NatureHumBehav
- Where did you grow up? A new @Nature paper by @hugospiers and colleagues shows that if you grew up in a city organized on a grid, you are likely less good at navigation compared to your peers who grew up in places with winding roads nature.com/articles/s4158…
- 1/3 Check out the cover of @Nature's current issue: it's devoted to computational social science and our special issue nature.com/nature/volumes…
- I'm always very impressed with @nature's table of contents, but I find this week's to be particularly impressive. First, we featured two behavioral economics papers by Raj Chetty et al on the cover, showing our expansion into the behavioral and social sciences
- Today @Nature published an important editorial for cognitive neuroscience, explaining how important it is to understand both the strengths and weakness of our methods. A short 🧵
- I'm very lucky because every paper "I" publish is a @Nature paper. But that doesn't take away the thrill of seeing good work out! The latest is work by @UeliRutishauser et al describing how the human brain creates cognitive maps of related concepts
- Can two males have a baby? A @nature paper published today shows how cells from mature male mice can be made into oocytes that can then be fertilized by another mouse. The result? Live, healthy mouse babies with two daddies nature.com/articles/s4158…
- What makes hair turn grey? A @nature paper shows that melanocytes travel up and down the hair follicle (in mice) and switch back and forth between mature and young states. When they stop moving they stop producing pigment
- 1/6 The papers for @Nature's special issue on computational social science are online! The link for the collection is below; links to each paper follow: nature.com/collections/ca…
- On my last day of work in 2021, I want to highlight some of the great content that @Nature has published in the behavioral and social sciences. I’ll break these down into two threads: primary research (below) and another tweet on our special issue on computational social science
- Are you interested in computational social science? Ahead of @IC2S2 this year, @Nature @NatCities @NatComputSci and @NatureComms have put together a Focus highlighting some of our favorite recent papers. Check them out!
- Do you notice that there are fewer publications by women than men? A @nature paper shows that this is, in part, because women are less likely to be credited as authors for their scientific contribution @IRIS_UMETRICS @NYUWagner @M_B_Ross @BrittaGlennon
