This year we host in October the META-REP 2024, an international conference focusing on meta-science and replicability in the cognitive, behavioral, and social sciences. The deadline for submissions is April 30. Contribute to vital discussions on meta-science and replicability.

Why does Freedom House score the US a 10 out of 10 for democracy? The existence of SuperPACs and the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine should put it below 9.

A welcome addition to the MLM toolkit from Kristian Karlson osf.io/preprints/soca…

I feel like a lone wolf in thinking trials and jail time should be considered for data-faking researchers. Of course I feel the same about execs who steal money from the wages of workers and from shareholder profits. 🤷

Here's a quick fun survey about p-values, although I resent the categorization of disciplines into 'Economics' and then 'Psychology/Behavioral Sciences'

I wonder what the evolutionary consequences will be of no longer covering our ankles regardless of the weather.

Social science is hard. # of protons in a human is >30 integers long, there are 86 billion neurons in 1 brain. The strong force is unimaginably strong. We need to understand how all interact with all of matter and among 8 billion humans to understand us. scientificamerican.com/article/physic…

If we don't review for low quality open access journals, how will they increase their quality, i.e., how will we overall improve open access publishing quality?

And begins the wars that will ensue over the Moon's resources.

Dumbfounded by GitHub. I want to reverify my academic institution. The app does not allow uploading a document, only using my camera on my device. Must also enable location. Only front camera allowed, bug in app does not switch to back camera. This is a high tech company. WTF?

Daniël Lakens Nate Breznau The stairway metaphor is a humbling reminder that teaching is indeed very hard and that it is a synergy between instructors and students.

The instructor is not a robot. The learners are not robots. So keeping things real and authentic helps!

Me as R2: They tested the null-hypothesis that effect of X on Y= exactly zero, & found evidence to reject. This does not “confirm H1”. This type of conclusion where p-value equals evidence of (rather than evidence against) will only perpetuate the crisis of science and p-hacking.

This thread gives me the shivers a bit. I’ve seen PIs unintentionally misrepresent experimental procedures, which is understandable b/c they don’t stand in the lab, they oversee many experiments, things are complicated etc. But I never considered how much wiggle room that implies

How reliable are computational reproductions, and why? We tried to tackle this in our recent study. We randomly assigned replicators to a transparent and not-so-transparent experimental conditions to see how they fared. osf.io/preprints/soca… #openscience
