New publication in Neuropsychology: "Sex differences and gender bias on memory tests in older adults". I want to thank Kirsty Lu for the opportunity to help with this!

Not for a second can I believe those researchers' interactions with Epstein were stimulating in the intellectual sense.

What fascinates me is that all the interaction with prominent scientists (we can add Marc Hauser) didn't have a great effect on Epstein's depth of thinking. Whether he is talking about genetics, history, or philosophy, it's all very shallow, drunken uncle kind of reasoning.

Epstein’s ugly world of science As with Peter Mandelson, so in the science world: the Epstein files are not telling us anything that most ordinary punters didn’t already know, but are revealing the full, rotten, appalling extent …

Die Links-Rechts-Achse tut sich auch beim Faschismus schwer, gleichzeitig ist das Argument der aktuellen Rechten schwachsinnig. Hitler wurde von der Rechten unterstΓΌtzt, und sofern sie nicht jΓΌdisch ging es reichen Familien zumindest bis zum Krieg finanziell gut.

Historiker wie Gâtz Aly zeigen auf, wie auf mancher Ebene linke Politik gemacht wurde, z.B. (und bei weitem nicht ausschließlich) für die Veteranen des Ersten Weltkriegs).
FΓΌhrerkult gibt es auch sehr in den sich als kommunistisch bezeichnenden Staaten.

I wrote a blog post about our latest publication on the language output in aphasia and schizophrenia, what it can teach us about how language relates to thought (disorder), and how language can be used to track cognitive health.

New paper! To understand the relationship between language and other cognitive functions, we compared the language production of people with aphasia (primary language disorder) with that of people with schizophrenia (disorder of thought).

??? I'm on your side, Matthew. All I am saying is that the big problem is that the DHS hires people like this guy and gives them the license to police and a gun.

I think there is too much focus on the agent. The shooter should either have not been hired or received better training. Getting him behind bars wouldn't solve the wider issue.

I can't say UCL is not greedy when it comes to overseas money, but this year was indeed a surprise with regards to how many students took up their offer. It may have something to do the US being so unattractive this year.

This is supremely dumb. There is a serious care worker shortage & you can't win against Reform by imitating it.

It too has its share of fools, but the algorithm does not rub you in them. Reading comprehension also tends to be better.

Sehr cool, werde ich mir anhâren. Zwei Freundinnen, die für das Goethe-Institut gearbeitet haben, hatten viel Gutes zu erzÀhlen. Traurig, dass das Außenministerium in den letzten Jahren so viele Standorte geschlossen hat. Auch hier wurde "Soft-Power", und wichtiger, Kulturaustausch, aufgegeben.

Believe it or not, but I completely agree with all these points and was on her side . It's just that the British press consists of many papers and not every paper attacked her.
And it seems that you can't say you found a show bizarre without being grouped with "Meghan-haters".
