I officially declare the most fun part of The #Mushroom Project complete. The #data #collection was fast and smooth. Five days, 112 participants, 2688 judgments. 🍄 Edible, inedible, or the kind that makes your family very disappointed, because you won’t be around to hear them say, “told you so”.
And now, the necessary evil — data coding. 🖥️🫠 https://szala.org/projects/mushrooms/

You reject a submission for failing attention checks, speeding through a 20-minute study in 90 seconds, and submitting absolute nonsense? Now they’re in your inbox demanding payment, insisting they “definitely read everything”, and arguing that your study is “literally broken” (you do realise I can see your data, right?).
Bestie, I’m an unpaid #PhD #student working with carefully budgeted research funding. I do not have the energy to fight over £1,50. I just want to wrap up this study, analyse my depressing data, and go home to lie face down on the floor for an unspecified amount of time. Please, leave me alone. #Prolific #SundayRant

The secret experiment has run its course, and our data collection is complete. 🤫 Long hours of galvanic skin response readings, an ominous clicking noise that may or may not have been intentional, and an alarming amount of duct tape used — because, of course. 👀 Now, the real work begins. If all goes well (and the data doesn’t self-destruct), expect some *very* interesting news in about a month. Stay tuned! 🖥️🔬⚡ #CLES #NCU #UMK #GSR

9.1.2025 15:05And at some point, this meme happened. 🤭🚨 Fresh off the press today! 📰 Our new article in #Language and #Cognition shows that in #casual #conversations, humans #talk about #social #topics a lot — even more than we thought before, with 85% of conversation being about social stuff! 🗣️ Huge thanks to my co-authors and the amazing student helpers who patiently coded the texts.
If you're discussing how much humans chat about social topics (tl;dr: they talk a lot), please cite us! 🙌

We are about 2/3 of the way through the #Behavioural #Immunity study! 🧠📊 Our high schoolers have been buzzing with activity. This journey has been all about uncovering how perceived #health #risks influence #social #interactions. The data is flowing, the insights are growing, and we are inching closer to understanding how social behaviour and health perceptions intertwine.
Thanks to everyone who has been part of the study so far. You are powering some truly fascinating science (despite occasionally forgetting to return your #proximity #sensors and taking them home for a little adventure 😅). Our sensors are great at collecting data—when they’re not crying out for a charge, that is. Check out the picture of our masterful charging #cable #management!

In the depths of a tranquil pine forest, an unexpected sight emerges—a Lime scooter, far from its urban habitat. Among the ancient dunes and whispering trees, it stands out as a modern anomaly, lost and out of place. Its sleek, green frame contrasts sharply with the natural surroundings, a fleeting reminder of humanity's reach into the wild. Here, in the quiet of the forest, it remains—a curious, transient visitor.
Spotted today somewhere in Bielany forest, Toruń. 🤭

It is the largest open digital library. They #scrape and #opensource plenty of resources, and mirror the already existing ones, such as #SciHub and #LibGen.
Their two goals:
1. Backing up all knowledge and culture of humanity.
2. Making this knowledge and culture available to anyone in the world.
Huge respect for the digital pirates behind this project for their dedication to the community.
