If this is helpful for anyone going on the social psych tenure track job market in US, here are my Colby (in 2018) and UIC (2023) statements: osf.io/ef7s3/files/...
My lab website has links to other people's materials. Of course the markets were very different back then.

New paper accepted at Public Understanding of Science with Nick Evans:
"Shedding light on public perceptions of scientists who engage in wrongness admission amidst a failed replication"
tl;dr: Wrongness admission confers reputational benefits to scientists.

Out today! Our Editor (@akfetterman.bsky.social) lays out his vision for the journal. Specifically, he calls for daring research that refocuses on the human experience, tackles real-world issues, & causes (good) trouble in the field.

I saw it too, but now I can't find the post. Is it perhaps this?

Well... I never thought I'd have to say this, but my name is not John and I am not a senator from Pennsylvania. Thank you for listening.
I've been desk rejected because it's not "personality" many times.
Why is it that every time I accomplish or do something that I feel good about or proud of, there's someone on this here internets saying "Anyone who does [that thing] is a dodo butt"?
I find that many people didn't find the BS Index as funny as I did.
I'm in!
Still want to run the study: Does the word "priming" prime researchers to be skeptical of priming?
Will do! Thanks! I'll send a couple other (published) papers on wrongness admission too.
We have a paper under review showing exactly this. People rate politicians as more trustworthy & competent when they engage in wrongness admission (publically stating that they were wrong & have changed their stance) vs. refusing to do so, and it is decidedly non-partisan.
New achievement!

I'm a social psychologist who created & hosts a monthly event at a local brewery in HTX (North Shepherd Brewing) called Pint-Sized Science. Beyond that, if I am not at home or on campus, you can find me at one of the other 80+ breweries in the Houston region.
We're back on Bluesky! 👋 As many SPSP members have already found community here, we're going to be posting on this account more often - sharing regular updates about the Annual Convention and other opportunities. Looking forward to (re)connecting with you all!
I do use my office phone number, which I don't think I've answered in 5 years.
Dear Grad School Recommendation Portals (including my own). You. Do. Not. Need. My. Phone. Number.

And if you don't want to do *boring* research with Erin, I am recruiting TWO graduate students
I am particularly eager to recruit one person who is interested in emotion research and one person interested in the science of big team science (e.g., see this pre-print osf.io/preprints/ps...)
Absolutely my reaction.
As I sit here doing the final preparations for my talk today, I just saw a post saying "For the love of god, don't do [the type of talk I'm preparing]." So...this should be fun.
