😳 Neuropsychology was the answer, we have decades of research about this

Meta halted internal research suggesting social media harm, court filing alleges Meta is alleged to have halted internal research suggesting social media harm, according to court documents.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

That is amazing ! I hope to get the chance to see you

I agree. I

f you can’t be present and know how to deal with the situation, you shouldn’t be a therapist. This is disgraceful.

I had a first interview for a non-academic job, at an academic conference, in a hotel room suite in fall 2012. There were at least two other women in the room with me (thank goodness) and we were at a table, but there was a bed visible. These practices were absolutely BANANAS.

Transparent and comprehensive statistical reporting is critical for ensuring the credibility, reproducibility, and interpretability of psychological research. This paper offers a structured set of guidelines for reporting statistical analyses in quantitative psychology, emphasizing clarity at both the planning and results stages. Drawing on established recommendations and emerging best practices, we outline key decisions related to hypothesis formulation, sample size justification, preregistration, outlier and missing data handling, statistical model specification, and the interpretation of inferential outcomes. We address considerations across frequentist and Bayesian frameworks and fixed as well as sequential research designs, including guidance on effect size reporting, equivalence testing, and the appropriate treatment of null results. To facilitate implementation of these recommendations, we provide the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology (TSRP) Checklist that researchers can use to systematically evaluate and improve their statistical reporting practices (https://osf.io/t2zpq/). In addition, we provide a curated list of freely available tools, packages, and functions that researchers can use to implement transparent reporting practices in their own analyses to bridge the gap between theory and practice. To illustrate the practical application of these principles, we provide a side-by-side comparison of insufficient versus best-practice reporting using a hypothetical cognitive psychology study. By adopting transparent reporting standards, researchers can improve the robustness of individual studies and facilitate cumulative scientific progress through more reliable meta-analyses and research syntheses.

Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉

As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices

A staggering statistic: "North American researchers were charged over US$2.27 billion by just two for-profit publishers. The Canadian research councils and the US National Science Foundation were allocated US$9.3 billion in that year." What are we doing?

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Schizophrenia exists.

Mental illness exists.

Psychiatric medications can be life-saving.

Psychotherapy can be life-saving.

Don't let misinformed people like @profjohnread.bsky.social tell you otherwise.

Enough with the anti-psychiatry propaganda and stigma. ✌️

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

This article is not registered with PROSPERO and has not followed the PRISMA-P guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analysis. For example, there is no risk of biais. Are we really make conclusions when the methodology is questionable?

Sad how physicians who've been professionally sanctioned for misinformation and malpractice become martyrs for the anti-vaccine movement so that they can make more money and target people with even more harmful propaganda.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster It is permissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with. The idea that it should be avoided came from writers who were trying to align the language with Latin, but there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong.

I know this. I tell people this all the time.

AND YET... when writing formally I cannot help but re phrasing whole sentences to avoid handing a preposition off the end of a sentence.

Learning rules is hard.

Unlearning is harder.

Human rights experts join rising chorus that accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza A team of experts commissioned by the U.N.'s Human Rights Council has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

BREAKING: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a team of independent experts commissioned by the U.N.’s Human Rights Council concludes.

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.

My thoughts as well.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Brilliant

While it is awful, it is great news that education remains a priority.

We failed to prosecute some folks
