I did teach sequential analysis in my grad "open and reproducible science" class a few weeks ago. We have used it a few times as well. But yes, not something you see every day.

Join us for the LOVE REPLICATIONS WEEK from March 2 - 6 with talks on reproductions, replications, how to find them, how to conduct them, how to have them conducted on your study, where to publish them, and much more!

I wrote a blog for the Meta-Research Center expressing my infinite frustration about not getting data. What else is new, you might think? Well, I added an extra layer of annoyance directed at the journals who do NOTHING to enforce promised data sharing.

One day I went to show it to someone, and it was gone :) But it was there, and it was glorious.

FlexibleMeasures.com Archiving examples of flexible measures in psychology to encourage reflection about both the use of flexible measures in research and the validity of studies that rely on them

I used to show in class a similar analysis by @malte.the100.ci on the flexiblemeasures.com site with respect to the competitive reaction time task (wonderful data visualizations), but the link to that analysis has said "under construction" for a long time now. But yes, so many ways it was added up.

Here is something great in academia happening outside the US (In Toronto in May and Calgary in July)

Measuring the State of Open Science in Transportation Using Large Language Models ArXiv link for Measuring the State of Open Science in Transportation Using Large Language Models

A study finds only 5% of transportation research papers share code and 4% share data, underscoring the need for open science. Using Large Language Models, researchers created a pipeline to track data availability, boosting transparency in transportation research. https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.14429

Learned last week that the new version of the OSF removed the “comments” function. I really liked it, but I guess not used enough overall. So far not impressed with the user facing side of the OSF—feels like a house mid construction; it stands and has a roof and windows, but no finishing touches.

I certainly was not able to predict specifically what would happen, but the evidence was clear enough in September 2024 that the US was going to a dark place if/when Big T won the election. And that darkness casts a long shadow, with threats to former friends and brutality within. Hate and greed.

For the middle powers of this world:

“when we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness. We accept what’s offered. We compete with each other to be the most accommodating.

This is not sovereignty. It’s the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination”

Carney: "We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future. Our commitment to NATO's Article 5 is unwavering ... Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland"

CARNEY: “.. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” 🔥

Trump introduces a tariff for goods from The Netherlands. Great. Bring it on. I am happy to suffer any damage to our economy, and subsequent reduction to my wealth, for doing the right thing (being willing to protect Greenland).

This 2005 paper by Spencer, Zanna, & Fong is also a bit dated, but the basic idea is to (when feasible) conduct a series of experimental studies to assess mediation. Many other options of course, just picking this one.

Only candidates who are internationally based (both working and residing outside of Canada) at the time of the time of the first Impact+ Program intake application deadline are eligible to apply. Impact+ candidates must have a recent track record of research accomplishments and significant interest in making new contributions to Canada in the strategic research priority areas. Successful Impact+ candidates will be appointed to a tenure-track position at the rank of Full Professor, or as an Associate Professor with a promotion to Full Professor within two years of starting their appointment in the academic unit(s) that best fits their area of academic interest and expertise.

Impact+ chairholders are expected to drive the translation of discoveries into applications, commercialization and social and economic benefits for Canada and the world, while also developing the next generation of highly qualified personnel in the following priority areas: Advanced digital technologies (AI, quantum, cybersecurity) Health, including biotechnology Clean technology and resource value chains Environment, climate resilience, and the Arctic Food and water security Democratic and community resilience Manufacturing and advanced materials Defence and dual-use technologies

McGill is hiring scholars from outside Canada! The Canada Impact+ Research Chairs (Impact+) Program is designed to attract world-leading researchers whose work addresses critical national and global challenges. Review of applications begins 1/16/26. www.mcgill.ca/research/res...

In grad school a few of my student friends were told they needed sig results to defend. At my current job I have had students say they were told same thing by their advisor. Not always the case of course; but focus/emphasis on particular outcome vs the process of discovery is problematic.

Not working in Canada but want to? Canada (U. Of British Columbia) wants you.

Hey out there to all my mid-to-late career colleagues, do you want to come work at Carleton? Our government is pushing hard to recruit international talent right now.

Posting below, and a few details about how I love where I work

Crazy to think we may have lived through the golden age of online data collection. I’ve been so spoiled by the ability to run a 60 subject pilot or 300 subject experiment in an afternoon and for a few hundred dollars.

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened :’)

So close to lounging by the fire in this winter wonderland (quick trip this past weekend), but first an exam, grading 100 papers, and other stuff.
