1629560768252497921 | @NAChristakis It's not just an anonymous reporting system. It is a vast data collection effort, farmed out to a company, with no right to see or correct the data, used in later disciplinary efforts, and hackable. The "permanent record" is darker than ever. | 5 |
1628825844889133059 | My latest w/ @JeffreyASnyder: You can’t have transformative education without growing pains. @glukianoff @TheFIREorg @mroth78 @NicoPerrino @JillFilipovic @michelleinbklyn @powellnyt @NAChristakis @AFA_Alliance @sarahemclaugh @jeremycyoung @Musa_alGharbi https://t.co/AMGadZFLZ5 | 5 |
1629891640847396864 | Here's my conversation with Nicholas Christakis (@NAChristakis), prof @Yale where he directs the Human Nature Lab. Here we talk about nature nurture & The social suite which includes 8 core properties of a good society. #Science #Podcast #scicommLink: https://t.co/wFewnjvvQ8 https://t.co/Jwmfefr1E2 | 4 |
1629368871344848896 | Very important thread. The end of a pandemic doesn’t mean that COVID is gone. It is a societal decision based on medical/epidemiological evidence and individual/group behavior and psychology. Early on, @NAChristakis called 2023 as the likely end, and 2024 as back to “normal.” https://t.co/MKnN4KbgQf | 3 |
1627496063165661185 | @venkmurthy @Maratosflier @cshperspectives @StephenORahilly From what I can tell obesity is an “all of the above problem”… with the recent changes over several generations in food availability & and physical activity of note… @NAChristakis | 1 |
1628777422484037635 | It’s not unusual for people to look back on their youthful behavior with embarrassment. I wonder if @NAChristakis’s inquisitors look back on their confrontation with pride or shame | 1 |
1627680637388746760 | @DrMJoyner @venkmurthy @cshperspectives @StephenORahilly @NAChristakis Examining geographic evolution of rates of obesity points to food availability as a major contributor. Seen first in USA(European colleagues chided us for "super-sizing") it hit parts of Europe/Middle East/South America as wealth increased. Now Mexico has higher rates than US 1/ | 1 |
1627615802449854469 | @DrMJoyner @Maratosflier @cshperspectives @StephenORahilly @NAChristakis Not to mention psychosocial stress, depression, feelings of disconnectedness, hopelessness, lack of opportunity, etc. | 1 |
1629638877345456129 | A MUST READ -- @Macalester prof takes issue w/ the admin's "pausing" of an art exhibit in the name of student "care." @NAChristakis @Musa_alGharbi @NicoleBarbaro @JonHaidt @jonathanalter @AsadFromNYC @boazbaraktcs @arash_tehran @timurkuran @rajivatbarnard https://t.co/S6rftvWVVI | 1 |

1629561313751072768 | @NAChristakis If the primary way you situate yourself in the world is through a group status and you reject individualism, then your mind justifies turning in your neighbors. Unfortunately, this group Identity is what is being promoted these days as good. | 7 |
1629569323231576065 | @NAChristakis Wow, this is exactly Hong Kong has been doing since the CCP imposed the national security law on the city. Anyone can report anonymously if a student or a teacher misspoke in class, e.g. calling Taiwan “Taiwan” instead of “China Taiwai”😨 | 6 |
