Dr. Ethan Kutlu

Do you work with production data? We have some updates for you. My students and I developed a tool that was accepted for publication in Behavior Research Methods. The tool is called: TAPA (Toolkit for Acoustic-Phonetic Analysis). Yes, the name is influenced by the tapas tradition. #speechscience

I’ve been named a Fellow of the Psychonomic Society (Fall 2026 class). Thank you to the Fellows Committee and Governing Board. A shoutout to @sparksociety.bsky.social, which shaped my career. Congrats to the rest of the class. I look forward to continuing my work with #Psychonomics.

“no review panels are scheduled, although about 600 proposals are still pending with SBE” So 600 teams of scientists got preliminary data, did analyses, wrote up proposals, got budgets approved, etc, based on NSF saying there were funds in this area. And now their work is just sitting there

Next week we will host another free and casual session to help people get started with git 👩‍💻 The goal is to help you in getting started with contributing to #opensource projects. Come along and hopefully leave having made your first pull request! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/my-first-p...

I am once again heartbroken to see that people with so much love for this world are detained because they ask for their human rights. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Please help us by sharing this information with your colleagues.

How is your day going? Mine is someone tried to recruit me to improve algorithms for Grok content.

I recall this too, it was called the Panel Pledge in 2015-ish, but I'm not sure it has survived the past decade I see I blogged about it in my 'how to avoid manels' post but couldn't find a link then ideophone.org/how-to-avoid...

Also and perhaps most importantly, my redefinition of AI allows us to: 👩🏼‍💻👪 Center human cognition 🤖🤥 Reject AI hype 🤔⚛️ Consider AI in general abstracted terms ⏰📜 Grant AI a (pre)history 🔗📝 doi.org/10.48550/arX...

If it can be done fast and/or mindlessly, it is not really problem solving.

Hello, some people are losing their doctors, their insurance, and their IDs.

Thousands of scientists and other citizens joined together to post comments on this proposal, and Congress took action. Now's the time for a similar effort to block the major changes proposed in peer review at NIH 🧪 grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I'm extremely excited that @brianwwl.bsky.social has started his postdoctoral researcher position in my lab. Dr. Wong will bring his expertise to our behavioral and EEG experiments. After some challenging two years (and feeling like the squirrel below), I'm grateful for my community.

Just want to give a big shoutout to Behavior Research Methods especially Dr. @jgeller1phd.bsky.social for his extremely transparent and thorough editorial service. Thanks to him and our wonderful reviewers (one of them being Dr. @tjmahr.com), we were able to complete this package.

FYI: our paper features the analysis of a political debate 💜

It is now cooked and served!

Trans people doing the hard work of resistance deserve more than gratitude. They deserve investment. www.lgbtqnation.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

As part of a Reviewer Zero initiative, @frankikung.bsky.social and colleagues are launching a survey on reviewers' and editors' experiences worldwide to help improve the publishing system. miamioh.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

in case you need a break from depressing political news and just as depressing academic discourse in the western world, turkey is always here to, no not to make you feel better, but to pile on even more crap

Congratulations to our 2026 Graduate Student Travel Award Recipients. A full list of recipients can be found on the PS website. www.psychonomic.org/page/2026Gra...

Our lab has been cooking something for the last two years and it is almost ready to be served. Coming soon… #speech #phonetics #linguistics #language

This!

Seeing group of men (philosophers, engineers, cognitive scientists) finding each other in their shared hate of women experts who work and think outside the(ir) mainstream. Patting each other on the back for mysogynist dunks & mischaracterisations, while thinking they are smart and doing noble work.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

New preprint! So honoured to have worked with Ishani Ray on providing vital critique on "AI literacy" & correctives for those interested in understanding why "just use the newest version of an LLM" is nonsense Contra Literacy-Laundering: Mechanistic Critical AI Literacy doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 1/

Hi all, @ethicsofai.bsky.social @dim-ah.bsky.social @francescaorfw.bsky.social @octopusfiles.bsky.social @josemariacasas.bsky.social @ethankutlu.bsky.social hope you are well ✨ New CAIL paper you may find of interest, too 😊 cc @marentierra.bsky.social @altibel.bsky.social @joostvossers.bsky.social

Hoping that our talk connects more people with some of the fantastic organizations enacting change in our communities *right now* including Reviewer Zero @reviewerzero.bsky.social Bilingualism Matters www.bilingualism-matters.org and the ROLE Collective www.rolecollective.org #CogSci2026

So thrilled to see the fantastic duo @mattgoldrick.bsky.social and @m2b2.bsky.social doing this work, and representing @reviewerzero.bsky.social and the ROLE Collective while they do it. Friday 2-3:30pm in Gavea A if you are at #CogSci2026.

As everything started to go to heck in a hand basket, both in terms of support for science in the US, and support for scholarship as a whole at UNC, I realized that faculty advocacy, which i had ignored, was crucial. Joining the @aaup.org was a wise move--their leadership has been remarkable 1/2

I urge everyone to read this and act asap! There are a lot of comments that are in support of OMB.

Dear community, please read this article and share your opinions so that we can protect scientific integrity. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I shared almost two years ago with my colleagues what I went through in my previous life. This was one of the examples. I am not Nostradamus or a fortune teller. Most of us experienced these in other contexts. I am happy to share my experiences but I don’t know where, how, and when.
