A theorem you'll never forget: Napoleon's theorem. Take any triangle. Erect equilateral triangles on its three sides. The centers of these triangles are the vertices of another equilateral triangle!

So thankful to the University of Cambridge for enabling a new chapter in the long history of the APU/CBU (since MRC decided to close all its units…)

A reminder that the original Stanford prison experiment, as well as being wildly unethical, was ridiculously bogus, guards actually being coached to be abusive to prisoners and the supposed experimenter (Zimbardo) acting as prison superintendent. theconversation.com/the-infamous...

theconversation.comThe infamous Stanford prison experiment was flawed – so why is it still so influential today?A French science historian dug deep into the true story of the Stanford prison experiment – revealing ‘guards’ were actually coached to be brutal. His findings are now available in English.

Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’. The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.

Interesting that these behaviours can be seen as responses to university structures.

'Students are attending less, reading less, participating less, and often treating university as one commitment among many.'

wonkhe.comStudents are not disengaged, they are adapting to a thinner universityFor Fredrick Agboma and Andrew Doyle, the question isn't whether students are less committed, but what culture they're asked to inhabit

The ghosts would not be able to *notice* that Pac-Man has eaten the ‘power pellet’, *fear* him, and *decide* to run the other direction if they were not rational agents.

The BBC Reform propaganda story is rightly taking some flack. Don’t forget who is embedded in ‘our’ national broadcaster. What has the BBC done for me….its become a biased, uncritical Reform platform

Serial versus parallel search has been a major distinction in theories of attention for more than half a century. Here we provide the first evidence for distinct neural correlates of serial and parallel search using EEG decoding. www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...
