🧠Excited to share that our paper has been accepted at PNAS! We found a hierarchical plasticity in people born without hands: SI remains largely constrained by somatotopy, while SII shows experience-driven reweighting toward the feet. ❤️Thanks to @StriemAmit @YuqiLiu95703261 @MartinezAddiego pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26…

Does the 2026 World Cup format create bad incentives? And do teams actually act on them? Short answers: yes and yes. Our new preprint is out: "Formats Shape Incentives: A Quantitative Evaluation of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and Alternative Designs." Link in the last post. 1/14

We propose a potential fix that keeps 48 teams: a pod system. The top two qualify, the 12 groups form 4 pods of 3, and the best group winners get byes to the Round of 16. Competitive final games rise from 33% to 62%, and dead rubbers fall from 28% to 8%. 13/14
