20.48 and my favourite kind of silky calm palest blue and pink #sunset at the Oslofjord 🇳🇴

Pink and blue skies reflected across the water with swimming steps and platform in the foreground and out to sea

Screenshot of the Abstract of an open access article entitled "Sliding Into Silence? We Are Speaking 300 Daily Words Fewer Every Year" DOI: doi.org/10.1177/17456916261425131 authors - Valeria A. Pfeifer and Matthias R. Mehl

Our lives are lived day by day, hour by hour, and minute
by minute. This fine-grained, equally spaced resolution
of time means we do not always perceive changes
in the small, everyday things around us, like the slow
deterioration of the road we drive on every day. Sometimes
we need to take a step back and examine them
from a more distant perspective, for example, when
unexpectedly hitting a newly formed pothole.
Such an “unexpected pothole” was recently afforded
to us when analyzing several data sets jointly within
the scope of a registered replication report (Tidwell
et al., 2025). These data feature estimates of daily spoken
words for 2,197 participants based on a careful
analysis of passively sampled ambient audio recordings
of their daily lives. The participants, ranging in age from
10 to 94, were part of 22 studies conducted over the
span of 14 years and resided (mostly) in the United
States as well as Mexico, Australia, and Europe. The
report yielded an estimate for the average number of
spoken words per day of 12,792, an estimate noticeably
lower than what a prior study from 2007 yielded using
the same method (M = 15,959; Mehl et al., 2007). After
verifying that this was not a mathematical error, we
decided to put the hypothesis that we had lost words
over time to the test. By relating the estimates of participants’ daily spoken
words to the year their data were collected, we discovered
that for each year between 2005 and 2019 an
average of 338 fewer words were spoken per day, b =
−338, 95% credible interval (CrI) = [−652, −25], as estimated
using Bayesian multilevel modeling. At first
glance, 300 or so words seems like a small, insignificant
loss, as if it would not make much of a difference. And
indeed, this finding ultimately was burie…

That's so special! I was just at GCR at the weekend with family at the (for us) lesser-visited Rothley station!

Yesterday with my wonderful PhD supervisor, Dr Eunice Fisher, in her garden in Cambridge. Each time we catch up I am grateful all over again that she took a punt on me (an unlikely candidate) to be her one and only student. It'll be 30 years (!) soon since I submitted my PhD but here we are still ❤️
