Taylor Swifts new album is out. I’m teaching ANOVA today.
Perfect potential Swift songs:
- Assumption of sphericity
- Our between subject factor
- Not my type of sums of squares

Say what you will but it was extremely COOL to have this on your desktop. Spotify, call me!

Excited to share that I’ll be the incoming Editor of AMPPS. My first priority is building a diverse team of Associate Editors and Editorial Board members. If you’re interested, DM me or add your name via this super simple survey.

Did a review for JBEF (J of Behavioral and Experimental Finance) and was pleasantly surprised when they emailed later that they will pay me for my review.

They just sent me the form I have to fill in and it is longer than my yearly income returns form.

Game on. I'm getting that money Elsevier!

If you have LinkedIn, here's a link that takes you directly to the button that turns off them using your data to train GenAI.

You can cut the irony of using mostly GenAI content to train GenAI with a knife!

This is amazing, in a horrible way

The west is stagnating!

I don't agree, but I did just spend half an hour doing admin for a hobby. Like, I just want to play basketball once a week. Why am I downloading an app.

This is exactly what doing AI-assisted research looks to me

In advance of next year's (likely dire) job market, here are the 2024-2025 numbers from the psych job wiki: the overall number of tenure-track job listings in psychology and neuroscience fell slightly, from 860 to 822 (this doesn't include canceled searches, which are often not properly reported).

Proud & excited to share, 8 years(!) after starting this work.

🚨New paper in Nature Human Behaviour🚨
BEAST-GB: a hybrid model predicting human choice at near-ceiling levels.

It uses small data, beats behavioral & AI models, generalizes across contexts, and even explains human choice!

Adding AI watermark to latest paper...

After all these reports of authors adding language instructions for LLM reviews in their papers I wanted to check this myself and I downloaded the .tex source from one of these papers.

Here is an example.

Is there anyone who keeps this text prediction on in word? Am I missing something. How is this useful?

Quite frankly, they are not going far enough:

Day 1 million of me opening up a preregistration link only to find that the authors just kind of describe the vibe of the paper and no actual analytic decisions or predictions in the "preregistration".

Yet, they say that the study is preregistered.

✊ We fought to get the budget cuts on higher education of the table. Now it is time to give it the final push. There is a proposal to reverse the cuts, tell MPs you want them to vote in favour!

The Dutch government fell but the protest against the financial cuts and other damaging measures for higher education are still happening.
10 June - Amsterdam

For those interested in Dutch politics:

Far-right leader, Geert Wilders, just pulled the plug on the government coalition that his party PVV was a part of.

Because other parties are not “signing up to his party’s asylum plans”

May I add that this happened as his party was slipping in polls…

Yeah my worry is that he thinks he may hold some cards e.g. he will come back with more votes but it will depend how the other parties paint him.

Oh wow indeed. Well now would be a good time as any to aggressively campaign for the universities. Curious to see to what extent the people will return to the PVV?

Is the coalition done? I still haven't had my morning tea...

We have a lovely new paper out, showing that even ignorant people can be very good at recognising who's knowledgeable based on minimal cues
