With the recent formation of the Bayesian Social Science chapter of ISBA, this is a good year for math psych folks to attend the ISBA World Meeting

Come join our new PhD program in Experimental Psychology at Tarleton State University! am recruiting a PhD student to start in Fall 2026! Reach out to me if you are interested...would love to chat

Let's hope Kimmel didn't accept the new academia\.edu user agreement

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

The new Bayesian Social Sciences section of @isba-bayesian.bsky.social has just been created: bss-isba.github.io. The committee is myself as chair, @robinryder.bsky.social, chair elect from 2027, @nialfriel.bsky.social, program chair, @monjalexander.bsky.social, Treasurer, EJWagenmakers, Secretary.

Against my better instincts, I have written some notes on how human probability judgements work and what you should expect from surveys that ask people to guess what proportion of the population is transgender. I hope never to speak of this matter again

Hello! I just started at new center at UCI! Some main foci will be misinformation, metascience, and equity! www.socsci.uci.edu/newsevents/n...

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

(whispers) hey there bear

On behalf of the AAUP, I am so honored to share that today we joined our sister UC unions in a wall-to-wall lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging the use of Title VI as a cudgel to bend the University of California in its ideological vision. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Some good synthesis here. I find the "constant conversation" model combines well with a test-driven, mostly contractual paradigm

Does anyone know if there's a way to appeal psyarxiv moderation? I can't reply to this email, I can't even see what the file was they deleted; I can upload the paper again since it's under CC4 anyway but that causes DOIs to rot so not a great option... I'd just as soon self-host and be in control.

"OpenAI is making “small steps that are good, but I don’t think we’re anywhere near where we need to be”, says Mark Steyvers, a cognitive science and AI researcher at UC Irvine. “It’s not frequent enough that GPT says ‘I don’t know’.”" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is a good read “Political action is the main venue to fight back. But taking care of ourselves also matters. Feeling bad some of the time about the state of the world is part of being a connected human. Feeling good some of the time is part of our resistance” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Also, we think people should stop using forensic meta-analytic techniques that have not been adequately vetted by experts in statistics. The p curve papers have very little statistical detail, and were published in psych journals. They did not get scrutiny appropriate to their popularity. 15/?

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Huge congratulations to the brilliant Nora Newcombe, recipient of the 2025 David E. Rumelhart Prize! 🏅#CogSci2025

After a great @mathpsych.org conference this past weekend, I am proud to begin a 4-year term as Treasurer of the Society for Mathematical Psychology! I am looking forward to this work. Many thanks to Leslie Blaha for her dedication to SMP as secretary/treasurer during the past 8 years!

If folks are interested in Mathematical Psychology, here is a starter pack. If you would like to be added, please let me know go.bsky.app/QNKpfeS

Yep, exactly. In theory, it's a win all around. More incentive for partners to collaborate, more flexibility for partners, more realistic policy roll outs, etc. No reason to limit this to journal experiments either; the same idea can be done for any multi-unit policy experiment.

This meta trial idea is pretty cool. Eventually you could arrive at a situation where journals help researchers get individual credit for research labor on large collaborative projects
