This seems like the wrong semester to be teaching research methods and statistics.

Does anyone know what the record is for the highest number of deleted social media posts in 24 hours? Just wondering if it’s about to be broken.

Give these folks a round of applause. This was a heavy lift! And let’s give this post at least as much engagement as the original announcement of the moderation changes.

⚠️ PsyArXiv is updating its policies in light of a higher volume of low quality submissions and our recent switch to a pre-moderation workflow. Read more about this change here 👉 (buff.ly/8jhqRJu ) and see our updated policies here 👉 (is.gd/paxpolicy ).

#Psychjobs My former institution Colby College is hiring a tenure track in intergroup relations, broadly defined & open to many psych areas (not just social). This is my replacement line. I truly enjoyed my time at Colby and it's a great dept! Happy to answer Qs if I can. apply.interfolio.com/172552

I am excited to share that @standupforscience.bsky.social is growing! We are looking to hire several positions including: - Event and volunteer coordination - Copywriting (press releases, emails, website, blogs, some social media) - Data analytics and research (marketing, not science 😉) 🧵

Gatekeeping protests is an interesting choice.

✨We are organising (again) an online workshop on Theoretical Modeling for PhD candidates and Master students in cognitive science and psychology. Check out the website and the schedule: Registration is open! (closes July 1, spaces are limited) 🧵1/n computationalcognitivescience.github.io/workshop/

Please spread the word! Psych Science is recruiting volunteers to help conduct computational reproducibility checks. If you have experience writing reproducible analysis scripts in psychology, and want to join the team, please apply! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Come join us! I have startup funds to hire a postdoc for Fall 2025 at Rutgers to study intergroup relations. The job ad is at jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/249... & evaluations begin in 1 wk (5/16) w rolling evaluation. See 🧵below for a write-up on what I'm looking for in a postdoc. Please share widely!

The best Coen Bros movie is usually the one you just watched, impossible filmography to rank

OK I had announced this before but forgot to say that Andrew Gelman would be joining Nancy Cartwright and myself as well. Short idea talks, lots of panel discussion and Q&A. Join us on April 25th to discuss RCTs, replications, and scientific inference. sites.google.com/view/cepbi/t...

Does anyone know how to travel back in time to retroactively change your major?

It seems to be that time again.

My Phd student Noah is recruiting Trans* and Non-Binary folks to participate in a survey study on well-being (uwo.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...). Check it out if relevant and of interest to you, and appreciate any signal boosting in your networks!

But our work is far from done—science is still under attack. We’ve got ideas, but we want to hear from you. What’s worrying you most? What should we do next? How can we grow this movement together? Fill out this quick form to share your thoughts & stay connected: forms.gle/QAxH4wD4Y3sg...

I’m a little late to arrive, but folks are still going strong. #standupforscience

Anyone can access books through a library or even e-books on the internet. And unlike AI LLMs, books are not riddled with factual mistakes. The "education" someone might get from AI is a miseducation. AI is not for people who want an education. It's for people who want to avoid one.

I have had a TON of people asking how they can help...here is what would help us the most right now: SHARE SHARE SHARE SHARE SHARE! Tell us why you #standupforscience2025! Send flyers to your colleagues and labs! Change your bluesky banner! Tell your professional orgs and departments!

Testing this thing out

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Preprints are scientist-controlled communication that get information out to fellow researchers and the public fast. Absolutely critical in times of crisis and a normal part of science otherwise.

in retrospect I think it may have been a mistake to make the work machine and the procrastination machine be the same machine

"Everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to help Mom do the dishes." Gonna sit with this for a while.

Rewatched the TWIN PEAKS pilot last night, perhaps starting a full classic rewatch. That 1st feature-length ep though...wow. *That's* how you launch a show, w/a compelling mystery, phenomenal visuals & music, and a host of bizarre characters that could each provide endless story fodder on their own.

“Jack, put on some music while the family opens gifts.” “No problem.” *** Turns on Yacht Rock station and cranks volume*** 🎶 I keep forgetting’…🎶

Forget Spotify. Show me your gif keyboard wrapped.

All of ATB’s books are good, and I can especially recommend Journey of the Living Dead for zombie movie fans.

If you and your family want to avoid any conversations the Trump dance may trigger during Thanksgiving football games, might I suggest gathering the family and watching “The Coffee Table” together instead

I just bought some gaff tape and a plantain. I’m about to be rich!

Details about how to apply for the joint SROP summer psychology internship are at www.summerpsych.com/apply Also, SROP is amazing generally so I encourage you to encourage your trainees to check out doing that at any of the places it is offered!

At Shipping Of Theseus, we guarantee fast delivery of your package, or an amalgam of your package and other objects that contains enough of your package to still be considered your package from a philosophical standpoint.

If Trump's first administration was stocked with Bond Villains, it seems like the second one is going with more of a Legion of Doom vibe. A brief thread...

Friendly reminder as our 12/1 deadline approaches!

Looks like nobody has made a Cognitive Psychology starter pack yet, so I made one! Comment to get added to the list! All things cognition are welcome. go.bsky.app/NsFhnV #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #Psychology #CogPsych

go.bsky.app/SsNPcGP Here is the Starter pack!!! We have over 100 spots available (and if we hit the limit of 150, I'll make a part two). PLEASE share, ask to be added, and let me know if you'd like to see anyone added.

I’m sure this randomly coming to mind has nothing to do with RFK Jr.’s nomination to HHS.
