Same here. I don't think everything needs to be preregistered. Openly posted code, though, I have yet to hear any reason for not 100% of the time.

Why hundreds of people in L.A. are strapping cameras on their bodies to do chores AI and robotics companies need data on movements in the physical world. Some are paying gig workers to record themselves cooking dinner and doing laundry.

I’d like to wear one to a faculty meeting so a robot can replace me there.

Don't worry, grasshopper. Even when people refer to you as "senior" you still have decades to go.. the road is long.

My experience was quite strict and indeed I did struggle with this, as someone who collaborates a lot. So I do think it’s good to be strategic about it early on. I had one paper with a coauthor in the middle of the list and couldn’t even use him.

Some of the keeners keep a good eye on Stats offerings, but many of them don't think to and would nonetheless benefit a ton. Hope you get to teach it again soon.

We find that children from low-SES backgrounds are viewed as more hardworking than smart -- as "strivers." Children's stereotypes on this topic are correlated with their parents'. 👇

But @jdmiller.bsky.social and @drlynam.bsky.social definitely know how to get a conversation started, don't they? I remember early in my career asking the don what his advice was to folks wondering how to increase the impact of their work, and he said "write things that other people disagree with" 😂

Sage Journals: Discover world-class research Subscription and open access journals from Sage, the world's leading independent academic publisher.

Oooohhhh good one. It's pretty open in terms of specific topics. Also considering this, as a good jumping off point for broader ethical conversation around current reporting practices and guidelines: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
