Finally, I did my best filling in for @jlolacher.bsky.social, presenting (and acting out 🙅🏼‍♀️) our shared work (under review - stay tuned!): We find no alleviating effects of #IntellectualHumility on the #MotivatedReception of policy-relevant #Science. Thanks for all the feedback & ideas! 🤗

Marlene talks about „Artistic activism: employing art for disruptive climate protests“.

This morning at #24hPolPsy, I got to share work I did with @derbaerrennt.bsky.social on the effects of #ArtisticActivism in the context of disruptive #ClimateProtests, brining together political psych and empirical aesthetics. You can also read the paper here: psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/... 🎭🎨🪧📣

@in-mindmagazine.bsky.social provides such a great platform for science communication!

We wrote a short piece about autobiographical memory in the digital age - take a look (before you scroll through your past next time)!

How strong is the threat to academic freedom? If you are a publishing psychologist, please help us get a better understanding of the threats due to external pressure and self-censorship in the publication process by taking our 5-10 min anonymous survey: t1p.de/t1qof
Results will be shared here!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Oh man 😥 I would definitely inform the editor - and keep an eye out in case it’s published somewhere else. I would probably also tell the authors that you noticed and it should be changed if they want to proceed with this…

The FORRT Replication Database has received a massive overhaul (FReD 2.0): We double-coded and validated all data from scratch and extended it in the course of a one-year-partnership with the @cos.io. We just switched to a faster interface thanks to @lukaswallrich.bsky.social’s wizardry.

Don’t let transparency
damage science
Stephan Lewandowsky and Dorothy Bishop explain how the research
community should protect its members from harassment, while
encouraging the openness that has become essential to science.

Thanks to everyone who was there!

It really is fantastic to know that 70(!) people are interested in storytelling to explain science! 💙 😱

Since Jan 1 2025, which feels like four trillion years ago, research has been shared on here 5 million whole-ass times. Bluesky recently passed 2 billion posts IN TOTAL.

So 0.25% of the entire site's traffic was citations to research.

That is actually massively high. Is it? Yes. Here's why.
