Man, I hope so... the system has been broken for a while, hopefully this will force a thorough rethink. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01297-y 🧪29 Apr 2026 21:23 +0000at://did:plc:deyobmkch3s62x6jw7sbv3e3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mknzu4kqbs2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/tyrellturing.bsky.social/post/3mknvvdqzc22pTell me you're an academic in the USA without telling me you're an academic in the USA... 😉 [contains quote post or other embedded content]29 Apr 2026 20:12 +0000at://did:plc:deyobmkch3s62x6jw7sbv3e3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mknvvdqzc22phttps://bsky.app/profile/tyrellturing.bsky.social/post/3mkidvq6ctk2q1/3) I don't fully agree with @tonyzador.bsky.social here, and I think the paper on planetary cycles that he references in this article is actually kind of misleading. (You never listened to me about that paper, Tony! lol...) But, I think this is an important conversation to have for the field!

For the Canucks out there, I think the @thebeaverton.com is actually much closer to the classic Onion now than the Onion itself in terms of the quality/style of the content.

The evidence doesn't suggest money/time make a difference. (Consider Scandinavian countries with generous parental leave, etc., who still have low fertility rates.)
