I tracked down the source on the Nobel posthumous rule. Jason Sheltzer pointed it out on twitter.

After sufficient lurking, here is my #introduction

I’m a #computational #cognitive #neuroscientist and asst. prof. at JHU Cog Sci studying social vision. Our lab uses a combination of human behavior, neuroimaging and computational modeling to understanding how humans can so effortlessly extract rich social information from the visual world around them.

Our recent work relies heavily on naturalistic neuroimaging and state of the art modeling (such as graph neural networks and disentangled representation learning). You can learn more/find papers on our website: isiklab.org

A couple of months these days. We had a point mutant ready in June 2020 (published muuuch later though)

https://stuartritchie.substack.com/p/science-isnt-storytelling?utm_medium=web the idea that a scientific paper needs to read like “a nice story” is the worst thing we, and the top “vanity journals” have taught - a disservice to science #philosophyofscience #metascience

Hello #ScienceMastodon,

How fast could have been the development of the hACE2 mouse model described in https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(20)30302-4 ?

Context: the speed argument was used by the US National Security Council to argue for a lab leak. I'd like to fact-check this.

[It is a question I would have asked on Twltter back in the days; please boost to help me reach the relevant people! - thanks]

@cyrilpedia Great article. Thanks for sharing. I can’t remember where I read it, but someone pointed out that there is always the same mistake in all articles about Franklin. The statement that Franklin could not win the Nobel prize because they are not given posthumously is incorrect. The Nobel committee didn’t institute that statute/rule until 1974. They had given the prize to others after death. They just snubbed her.
