- Type I error: You think you’re on mute but you’re not Type II error: You think they can hear you but you’re on mute Or did I get it backwards?
- How would I know if my own research area was this wrong? Our usual safeguards won’t save us: peer review, meta-analysis, 100s of conceptual replications, listening to eminent researchers. All failed. This should be keeping us up at night.
- Be a part of the change you wish to see in the world: Donate to help support the legal expenses of Data Colada. They're being sued by Prof Gino after posting careful, meticulous blog posts raising concerns about data integrity in 4 papers. Donate here:
- Psychologists: please read this. We must stop celebrating this work. It’s anti-scientific. Get it out of textbooks. medium.com/s/trustissues/…
- I accepted a job at the University of Melbourne, starting mid-2020! I’m excited about many aspects of this adventure, and especially excited to be closer to this guy 😍🦘🇦🇺
- My least favorite Twitter war is “don’t send emails/decision letters at night/wknds/Fridays” Stop telling people when they can do their work! Just don’t check work stuff when you don’t want to receive it! Also I’ll bet $78 you don’t know what day of the week it is in Australia rn
- PNAS: -charges authors a publication fee *and* -charges readers/libraries a subscription fee, plus -has a “contributed” track where only NAS members can submit & arrange their own reviewers Why do we take PNAS seriously again? I’m done reviewing for them, at the very least.
- Thanks to everyone for the support (amazing way to end a long plane journey!) and for all the effort & energy that helped us get here - it always was and will be a team effort! I’m really humbled and honored to get to take on this role.
