Bumblebees surprise scientists by showing a sense of rhythm www.newscientist.com/article/2522...

Finally, here is a press release that is our briefest summary of the program and findings. Go here if you want to spend <5 minutes on SCORE: www.cos.io/about/news/l...

So very excited to see the SCORE papers finally put in @nature.com with @cos.io led by @briannosek.bsky.social and colleagues. Working on SCORE was gruelling but has been tremendously rewarding. Special props to team leaders that we worked with, like Andrew Tyner! www.science.org/content/arti...

These are essential questions to be asking right now. Ignoring the power of these models (which are only getting smarter by the month) is a recipe for professional obsolescence for one's self and their students.

Can published findings be reproduced from the same data + same analysis? As part of SCORE, Miske and 127 co-authors tested this across social and behavioral science papers from 2009–2018. www.nature.com/articles/s41... OA: osf.io/preprints/me... 1/

Majestic, well done @rickcarlsson.bsky.social

📣 Exciting news: As we've been unable to decide which is the best open-source package for psychology (PsychoPy, Open Sesame or jsPsych) @peircej.bsky.social, @cogsci.nl and @joshdeleeuw.bsky.social have agreed to resolve this once and for all, in a live-streamed, three-way.....arm wrestle!

🚨 We're hiring! 🚨 I'm looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join my ERC-funded project on fetal brain development in multilingual contexts. 🧠 🤰🗣️ 📍Aix-en-Provence/Marseille, France 📅 Start: September 2026 Full ad: olgakepinska.com/wp-content/u... Please reach out with any questions!

Dense sampling of a few people to study intra-individual variability. Results show that nucleus accumbens BOLD response to reward has low test-retest reliability. Contributing factors are mood and alertness (variability is meaningful). V. cool!🤩 I was reading the introduction and intensely nodding!

Visual #workingmemory peeps, you're going to love this. This is super challenging - might give you pause on how we are measuring color memory... My color memory is a 40.4/50. Please do worse so I feel better. dialed.gg?c=3PCHDE

Super excited to see the first paper from my PhD out! 🐭 Very satisfying to get to build an interpretable model of how the brain does a thing. A nice palette cleanser in the current sea of LLMs and deep ML.

Is "big-team science" more generalizable? These authors argue it creates an illusion of generalizability. For what it's worth, these critiques apply to my work too! www.nature.com/articles/s41... @hcp4715.bsky.social

CodaNote: Collaborative Markdown/Quarto/Rmarkdown People were looking for collaborating on MD family files with knit rendering... I built this tool for CORE team, works like Google Docs. Opened it to all from internal use so everyone can use it. Feedback welcome! Try: codanote.vercel.app

A new paper in Science measured the prevalence of social sycophancy across 11 leading large language models. The model’s responses were nearly 50% more sycophantic than humans’, even when users engaged in unethical, illegal, or harmful behaviors. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

representativeness is a big issue for BTS. our argument is backed by a new study, from Cindel White & @michael.muthukrishna.com: "more highly educated ppl are significantly more culturally similar to WEIRD countries, such as the Anglosphere and Western Europe." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Most weeks I recommend to our Leeds @ukrepro.bsky.social network an "Open Research Friday Reading". Why not share it here, too? Today I shared "A Manifesto for a Globally DEI Open Science" by @sakshighai.bsky.social et al. - important read for any social scientist ☝️ www.nature.com/articles/s44...

I’m recruiting PhD students at NYU (start Sept 2026). Focus: cultural evolution, innovation & cooperation, AI & society, progress studies & development. Deadline to apply is Dec 1- very soon. I’ll share more about the move & new work soon. Please share with students & retweet!

Excited to join this wonderful panel of editors for an APA webinar on aspiring to a more global psychological science.

🔊Announcing ANIMUS 2026: a conference dedicated to the applications of TUS in animal models! Joining us: - Prof. Dr. Til Ole Bergmann, University Medical Center Mainz - Dr. Daniel Whitcomb, University of Bristol - Emma Lescrauwaet, University of Ghent ➡️ Learn more: animus2026.com

We’re all familiar with the replicability problem. Our study shows offline effects of #TUS on M1 are unreliable. @ben-kop.bsky.social @lennartverhagen.bsky.social #UCL

Hold on to your transducers, TUS community! We've focused on managing what participants can hear during stimulation… but how about what they feel?! Our BrainStim paper maps tactile, thermal, & painful sensations during transcranial ultrasonic stimulation - and reveals how to minimize them. Thread👇

Effects of 5Hz-rTUS (tbTUS) on corticospinal excitability are less robust than we initially thought. Check out my new preprint with @drcarysevans.bsky.social and Po-Yu Fong showing that offline excitatory TUS-TMS effects don't replicate. Thread below 👇 doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Super proud of @sjoerdmeijer.bsky.social who demonstrated that amygdala-TUS slows initial threat acquisition and enhances subsequent extinction. Great collaboration with @lennartverhagen.bsky.social and @deVoogdld.bsky.social ea. Thanks to @ERC.europa.eu. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I've been coming across so many great open science initiatives in other fields that I wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the efforts happening in the Education Sciences. New blog post! 💡 cghlewis.com/blog/ed_open...

A new meta analysis from the lab based on an open meta-dataset we have curated in the past few years

We’ve created an overview of the current state of theory development in psychological science (doi.org/10.31234/osf...). We're now conducting a survey on the topic to collect your views on the current state of theory development: --> forms.gle/Ct4qq4a4raun...

New lab paper! 🧠 Human hippocampal & MTL theta activity is linked to eye movements, but only during memory-guided navigation. Theta is also strongest during longer, more exploratory eye movements. plos.io/4dwJhR8 Huge congrats to Humza & team! 👏

Our work exploring how we can resolve ambiguous visual inputs has now been accepted in Communications Psychology. Many thanks to the reviewers for their time and insights! Open-access link: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

"There are signs that the Bayes Factor is increasingly taking on a role analogous to that of the p-value, serving as a device for the automation of decisions rather than as a tool for substantive inference." Excellent new preprint by Carol Ting on the rise of NHST. #Methodology #stats

🚨 Calling Flemish researchers interested in Open Science!🚨 Are you appointed for at least 50% of your time as an independent academic staff member at a Flemish university and would be willing to support an application for an International Coordination Action at FWO (lnkd.in/eiWWjFvj)?

Theory matters in psychological science — but where does theory in psychology currently stand? We’re inviting psychological researchers for our survey to share their views on the state of theory. Overview: doi.org/10.31234/osf... Survey: forms.gle/Ct4qq4a4raun...

I wish more people knew this. Power analysis should be based on the smallest effect size of interest. Not on a guess, or a hope. You also need to specify that effect to make your claim falsifiable, and to know when the effect is statistically significant, but practically irrelevant.
