How has all this changed through the centuries, from religion, to scientific societies, to modern-day academia, and yes, to educational systems?All this, and more, with @marcelloseri, @philipcball (who wrote the book on Curiosity) and @BrianOstafin, wonder-science extraordinaire.
We could have called this episode "Curiosity: The Original Sin". buff.ly/4dq6hxz
What sort of virtues is #curiosity (and #wonder) and where are the boundaries where it's seen as indulgent or sinful? How is it harnessed to advance knowledge?

What is life and how does it work?
Science writer @philipcball explores a new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more ingenious affair than we had guessed.

This Thursday, @marcelloseri and I are lucky to host @philipcball and @BrianOstafin on Degrees of Freedom, to talk about #curiosity and #wonder, the shift in how they've been viewed through the centuries and their role on discovery and learning. 1/2
Much appreciation for @aytckrby and coauthors for this great piece of work! Read through this thread to learn about auditory memory set-size effects (errors increase as memory load increases).
🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨 Excited to share our latest study introducing the Auditory Reproduction Task (ART), a novel method to explore auditory working memory using circular reproduction tasks🎶🧠with @RobNijenkamp, @TSarampalis & Daryl Fougnie .🧵👇

I love this excerpt from @ANNELAMOTT's Bird by Bird. Writing is creation, discovery, conversation. We talked about some of this and building a strong relationship with writing on Degrees of Freedom soundcloud.com/degrees_of_fr… with @marcelloseri @Scriptorcube and @OleGmelin
“...you don’t care about those first three pages; those you will throw out, those you needed to write to get to that fourth page, to get to that one long paragraph that was what you had in mind when you started, only you didn’t know that, couldn’t know that, until you got to it”
New Degrees of Freedom! This time, @marcelloseri and I talk to @Scriptorcube and @OleGmelin about developing a strong and healthy relationship to (academic) writing. Lots of good advice and thoughts!
What is YOUR relationship to writing like?

Ungrading has received more attention recently in #HigherEducation but still misconstrued as "let's get rid of grades". Instead it's best to think of it as a rethinking of the role of grades in teaching&learning. Listen to our latest episode to learn more

We had a lovely discussion recently on Degrees of Freedom, with 2 other higher-ed podcasters, with the topic... 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣?
We ask you that question too. Tell us here: forms.gle/e5zFnZXmjyJVVxuNA

I love reading. Also talking about it. Listen to our new episode of Degrees of Freedom where @marcelloseri, Henrieke Krijgsheld, Frans Sijtsma, of the @SuSoRUG, and I talk about the joys and questions of (academic) reading. Let us know what you think!

So what are you waiting for? Go sign up and join us on December 7th and 8th to talk about how to understand truth and science communication better. Registration is free, here: tinyurl.com/nbtt2023
Everyone loves a conspiracy theory, but what can we tell about the psychology behind their proliferation? Why do people believe them? How do they share them? And what are the consequences? @Karen_Douglas will answer all this and more 8/n
Never before have we seen such condensed and intense public scrutiny of science as we did during the pandemic. Virologist and active public figure @MarionKoopmans will talk about science in the public eye, using the COVID19 pandemic as framework 7/n
Science is objective, right? What does that mean and how do philosophers of science grapple with a unifying perspective on objectivity? @inkerikoskinen will compare the different accounts and offer her views on what would be a satisfactory account 6/n
Fake news! How often have you heard this in your news bites? Anne Ruth Mackor talks about facts, social media, online trolls, and analyse the development of fake news and how scientists might deal with this 5/n
Climate change... if there ever was a topic where various truths clash, this is it. @climategeorge will talk about the shifting margins of climate truth and where outreach efforts fail and succeed (and what we can learn from that) 4/n
