Leading the Conversation: WEAVE Interns Lecture at IES Anna Kulesza and Emma Wood, two interns on the SOD-BPD WEAVE project, recently prepared and carried out a guest lecture at IES Study Abroad with the support of master student Nita Bislimi. Despite som...

@annakulesza.bsky.social and @emmalwood.bsky.social, our SOD-WEAVE interns, delivered an inspiring lecture at IES Study Abroad, sparking reflections on diversity in research, asexuality, disability, and Freud’s legacy in Vienna.

Surprisingly, economic, cultural, or sociopolitical factors did not explain these differences. Takeaway: Feeling like a personal victim of injustice can fuel conspiratorial beliefs, but how this plays out globally is complex and not easily explained by national-level factors.

The study examined victim justice sensitivity (VJS) – the tendency to perceive and react to injustice directed at oneself – and its link to conspiracy beliefs. Across 15 countries (N = 14,978), VJS was linked to general conspiracy beliefs as well as specific ones about vaccines and climate change.

New paper! "Victims of Conspiracies? An Examination of the Relationship Between Conspiracy Beliefs and Dispositional Individual Victimhood" lead by D. Toribio-Flórez published in European Journal of Social Psychology. This paper is part of the TISPManyLabs project.

Challenges and promises of big team comparative cognition - Nature Human Behaviour Big team science has the potential to reshape comparative cognition research, but its implementation — especially in making fair comparisons between species, handling multisite variation and reaching ...

Methods differ so widely across taxa that true cognitive variation is hard to disentangle from artefacts. To build a robust, comparable science of cognition, we urgently need Big Team Science. Interested? Read Challenges and Promises of Big Team Comparative Cognition. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Check our new preprint! Our systematic review of 206 reversal learning studies shows that behavioural flexibility research is heavily biased towards birds, rodents, and humans, with most animal diversity virtually untested. #Manymanys #BigTeamScience #ComparativeCognition

It was truly a pleasure to host Caroline Thoman, a pre-med neuroscience student from Indiana University Bloomington, USA, who joined our SOD-WEAVE Project this summer. Read about her experience in this blog post.

Are you an early-career researcher (or someone hoping to help ECRs) working in #openscience or #metascience? The @reproducibilitea.org podcast is looking for guests for our next season of episodes! We'd love to feature ECR voices foremost – the next generation of scientists should be heard the most!

A Tale of Two Science Reform Movements Reflections from meetings of Metascience 2025 and the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science

New post! "A Tale of Two Science Reform Movements," in which I compare the recent #Metascience2025 and #SIPS2025 conferences, and find that I am much more at home at one than the other. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-...

Come to Vienna to attend the Open Science Festival #OSFestival2025. These will be two amazing days in the historic city of Vienna. Don’t know anyone? No worries – just come and chat with me. I’m fun when energized with coffee, and there will be coffee!

New paper! I am really grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such an important project. Thank you to the project leads, Viktoria and Niels!

Abstract Booklet - In Person SIPS 2025

Also, I am very thankful to @annakulesza.bsky.social for her help throughout the conference. Just have a look at the booklet she created! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Finally, I also met @wldkrenzer.bsky.social @juliabottesini.com in person! :) If I forget anyone, sorry!

Today, many of us want to be as bold as the Hungarians. I am so proud to know many of them, thanks to SIPS!

This journey would not have been possible without our funders @fwf-at.bsky.social UClouvain, Belgium & ÖFG & the local team: @dominikdianovics.bsky.social @szaszibarnabas.bsky.social @martonaronvarga.bsky.social @miklosbognar.bsky.social @bencep.bsky.social @czingraberpeter.bsky.social H. Clelland

I also gave a lightning talk pitching Big Team Science in clinical psychology, discussing strategies to build large collaborative projects with and for vulnerable populations. I am grateful to my collaborators on this work: @aggieerin.bsky.social @clauslamm.bsky.social P. Luyten and N. Bislimi

I moderated the keynote panel II with @lspitzer.bsky.social A. Sarafoglou, @agataboch.bsky.social @leesplez.bsky.social & @martonkovacs.bsky.social. We had a heated debate on how open data should or can be. Do we have the right to keep our data closed, or should we aim for radical transparency?

On the first day, we hosted Kenote panel I moderated by @balazsaczel.bsky.social with @simine.com, E.J. Wagenmakers, @eikofried.bsky.social, @fidlerfm.bsky.social & @syeducation.bsky.social But first, SIPS President @priyasilverstein gave their opening speech on SIPS’ journey throughout the years.

Closing Rreflection. This June, I chaired #SIPS2025 in Budapest 🇭🇺, celebrating 10y of @improvingpsych.org. It was a vibrant & inspiring meeting. We hosted workshops, hackathons, lightning talks, & unconferences on topics from AI & theory building to radical transparency, detecting data fabrication.

"Also NO. This is someone's pet theory for how science works, not actually how science works." what do you mean by that?

A similar thing has been done in the domain of social cognition. Maybe it could be used as inspiration or something www.nature.com/articles/s44... There, it’s the same mess with the definitions.

In London for #metascience2025? Realized you forgot to register until after it had closed because the venue was full?

You're* not alone! If you're interested in doing a meta-science hackathon, let me know

Massive thank you to everyone who joined us at in-person #SIPS2025, and to our fantastic organising team led by @balazsaczel.bsky.social and @epronizius.bsky.social 👏
