Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

Loved giving a workshop yesterday on transparency, reproducibility, and publication bias in meta-analyses

📊 Part of a brilliant event by the Science: To Be Determined team (@idiv-research.bsky.social). Thank you so much for the invitation!

Never too late! From a hot summer in 2009 spent in the lab molecularly sexing pied flycatchers to a 2026 paper 🐦

Using 2,759 sexed nestlings (1997–2018) tracked through 2023, we show male attractiveness & annual rearing conditions increase the proportion of sons in broods

Excited to share our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com We synthesize causal discovery & inference approaches across traditions (regression adjustment, quasi-expts, SEMs, Granger causality, convergent cross-mapping, and more) into a unified workflow for ecologists. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Differences between M & F are pervasive, but we often focus on #SexDifferences in the mean. @pietropollo.bsky.social @danielwanoble.bsky.social @itchyshin.bsky.social &co present #stats tools that allow comparison of #skewness, #kurtosis & correlations b'n groups @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4093nJs

I am excited to be talking about using #Quarto for Manuscripts and attending a lot of exciting sessions on how we can make science better! The selection of Workshops in the Symposium is amazing, it is a tough choice!

Registrations are still Open!

NEW resource for open research in the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences:

The MORPHSS catalogue documents 30 open research practices in AHSS disciplines, with detailed descriptions, examples, and suggested resources and further reading.

Diagram showing four phases of methodological research (Theory, Exploration, Systematic Comparison, Evidence Synthesis) with an arrow indicating that preregistration usefulness increases from early to late phases. Each phase lists its aim, elements, outcome, and an example from factor retention research.

Does it make sense to preregister simulation studies?
This question has sparked a lot of debate.

▶️We* work through the why, when, and how
▶️We discuss different phases of methodological research to clarify where preregistration might (or might not) add value

Transferable, Available, Documented, Annotated.

Realised today that one of the packages I wrote during my postdoc (beamshapes, see QR code) has been used and cited to do some cool science.

I'm feeling unusually happy about this, somehow even more than a paper citation.

Shout-out to the @dfg.de + @cbehav.bsky.social for funding this work.

@ucoimbra.bsky.social #CNC-UC

Yesterday I gave a short talk at @ucoimbra.bsky.social's fantastic DCV seminar series, a great chance to introduce myself to my new institutional community (@excelscior-era.bsky.social).

Haven't been that nervous about a talk in ages, funny how starting fresh brings that back! 😅

Graphic announcement with a blue background reading “Big News from RoSE.” The RoSE and FORRT logos appear side by side with an “×” between them. Text states: “We’re launching a Big Team Science review asking: What is the current state of evidence on the use of statistical packages in teaching and learning?” A magnifying glass graphic emphasises the research theme.

📣 Big news from RoSE! We’re launching a new RoSE × FORRT collaborative research project 🎉

With @rosenetwork.bsky.social and @forrt.bsky.social, we’re starting a Big Team Science review on evidence for using statistical packages in teaching & learning.
