#psycgooddeedday2025 at Binghamton was an amazing success! Many good deeds were done, and the visitors to our table loved the stickers and snacks, as well as the kindness rock painting station.

Thank you David!

Good morning, #psycgooddeedday2025 !

Binghamton University is ready to go!!

As an aside, "Excellence" must be the single-most overused, empty, boilerplate word used in academic bureaucracy and it's typically a stand-in for "We don't know what we want so you should do everything".

🤩 Thank you, @carlbergstrom.com for being part of C4R!

Ending publication bias: A values-based approach to surface null and negative results Sharing knowledge is a fundamental principle within the scientific community, yet null and negative results are still being underreported. This Consensus View discusses the problem of such publication...

And here's the paper he references in his post. "Ending publication bias." journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries.

A more effective career strategy is to p-hack your way into PNAS, Nature, and PsycScience, file drawer non-replications, self-promote with press releases, and excessively self-cite. By the time anyone catches on, you've established yourself as an eminent scientist with tenure.

Looks like PsyArXiv has been infiltrated by "International Journal of Environment and Climate Change". Woke up to a ton of articles in my feed that have nothing to do with psych that were clearly uploaded by a bot. This one lists "Business Scope" as the author.

People in the research integrity space don't use the term 'questionable' and prefer to use 'detrimental'. I've been won over by their argument. There's nothing questionable about them, they are simply detrimental research practices. The term 'questionable' minimizes their negative impact on science
