We're delighted to be part of this new Registered Reports funding partnership - or RRFP - with @improvingpsych.org!

RRFPs boost the efficiency of RRs by integrating grant review and Stage 1 review. Authors submit before they have funding & then receive Stage 1 acceptance + funding at the same time

The University of Sydney is recruiting senior and mid-career academics "within the top 5–10% of academics in their field, with a strong track record and availability to relocate to Australia within 6-months".
If you're a psychologist/neuroscientist and are interested, get in touch with me soon.

This is extremely similar to my own feelings. I think it’s good/fine that Metascience exists, but I realized that I’m not the constituency for it. I’m way too unpolished for that conference.

👋 Hello Bluesky!
We’re the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, from #UniMelb.
We'll be sharing updates from our research community, highlighting staff & student achievements, and connecting with those advancing psychological science across disciplines. We can't wait to join the conversation!

The context is I am panicking about having to speak about science in French tomorrow.

Google translate translating “p-hacking” to “p-piratage”

checks out

Google search for “what is the difference between la connaissance and le savoir”

Tomorrow I’m on a panel about pré-enregistrement, in French. I speak French to my mom and/or dad and/or brother every week, but somehow that has not prepared me for this situation. Help!

Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

So nice to see the results of a @improvingpsych.org hackathon matured to a paper!

#MetaScience2025

Actually I put words in Tom’s mouth. He just said sometimes transparency isn’t possible. Not sure if he thinks this applies to all (data, code, materials) forms of transparency.
(Personally, I find it hard to think of a principled reason why code can’t be shared.)

Talk by @tomhardwicke.bsky.social presenting on this paper: scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=e...

One takeaway: sometimes we can’t share data/code/materials, but we should state why they’re not shared.

#metascience2025

I'll be giving an unconference session at #MetaScience today at 14:00 on Papercheck. It will be a workshop on using and creating modules to detect (and correct) scientific practice and reporting. Come along if you're interested in how to use or contribute. No coding expertise required beyond using R

Congratulations to @bethclarke.bsky.social, who submitted her PhD thesis yesterday!!
It’s been such a privilege to be with her on her amazing journey - she’s done so many great things already!
Look out world, she’s going to shine so bright ⭐️✨🌟

If you’re in London and interested in metascience-y things, there’s more going on than just the official conference!
Please help spread the word!
#metascience2025

PYMS has a new board and it is booming! Don't miss this session in London if you are an early career meta-scientist (or are interested in meta-science careers)!

#SIPS2025

Reviewer notes: So you’re interested in “lagged effects.” In some fields, researchers who end up with time series of two variables of interest (X and Y) like to analyze (reciprocal) lagged effects between them. Does X affect Y at a later point in time, and d...

New blog post! Let's say you've measured two variables repeatedly and want to investigate how one affects the other over time. Here are some recommendations for how to do that well.

It happened again! #SIPS2025 and #SIPS2025 were close in time and space! In 2019 it was Leiden v. Rotterdam, this year Krakow v. Budapest.
And from this blog post I learned we have similar concerns!
The other SIPS is going to Sydney in 2027, just saying…

Opinion | JD Vance Said the Iran Strikes Set Their Nuclear Program Back ‘Substantially.’ He’s Wrong. The strikes probably only delayed Iran’s nuclear ambitions — and reinvigorated them.

Also this, by the same guy interviewed in the first article:

The Dangerous Consequences of Donald Trump’s Strikes in Iran Why even a successful attack might do less to curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions than a diplomatic deal would have.

If, like me, you don’t know much about Iran or its nuclear program, this is a good read:

Yes! It would be great to catch up!

Being co-opted by bad-faith anti-science autocratic/fascist regimes absolutely sucks.* Devastating to imagine anyone taking this as win, or even that ppl would think we might.
* Also something we repeatedly fight back against, eg: findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/news/6026-re...
