The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Authority at the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Authority is looking for an applied statistician with expertise in Bayesian statistics or causal inference statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2025/11/03/t...

formalizing this process is fraught. This requires a bottom up cultural change starting with doctoral training. Top down impositions such as citation diversity statements come with a lot of other risks.

In serious fall mood over here. 🍁🍂 Chestnuts, pumpkins, walks in the forest, please! youtu.be/DnKOzdEa80A?...

Sometimes my cat sounds like someone forgot to turn off the vibration alarm on their phone...

Call for collaborators! 🧵 The TL;DR: we seek collaborators on a #ManyLabs #RegisteredReport about what causes rapid forgetting. In-principle accepted Stage 1: osf.io/ahjn5 Expressions of interest: cardiffunipsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Further details in the 🧵:

It is a common theme in academia to forget that faculty also get paid to do research and write papers. Getting paid doesn't mean no intellectual contribution to a paper, otherwise unpaid interns would be the only authors on papers.

Join our interdisciplinary team that combines computational linguistics with cognitive neuroscience! Our center is located in the beautiful Trentino region.

Why is it that everyone on the internet seems to be so damn comfortable with prior/posterior plots using ggplot that do not use the same y-axis density values. Drives me nuts. Sunday rant over.

Help us show there is support for offering registered reports at one of Psychology's leading method's journal! chng.it/TwwnVBScVb

Three of my collaborators have COVID RIGHT NOW 😷 😷 😷

A lot of educators treat being overworked as a sign of virtue or commitment to excellence. It might just be a sign our institutions are understaffed, underfunded, and don't prioritize teaching, teachers, and learning in their budgets. And self-congratulation doesn't pay the bills.

Do kids show adult-like working memory patterns? 🧠 We analyzed nearly 1M observations from 9K+ Dutch students in a real-world adaptive learning platform. ✅ Benchmark effects in children 📊 Bayesian modeling + big adaptive data = new insights ⬇️ Authors & links #WorkingMemory #DevPsych

How can we achieve good measurement of attentional control? Much of the debate around this question has focused on methodological issues, most prominently the reliability paradox. Sure, reliability is important (and we critically review all recent developments).

PsyArXiv is seeking new moderators to help combat an increase in AI submissions! If you've ever posted a preprint to PsyArXiv, please consider joining. Minimum commitment 1h/month, there's a training session this Monday @ 1pm ET. More info here: forms.gle/9LB1rEtxHAeZ... #PsychSciSky

New paper with @richarddmorey.bsky.social now out in JASA, where we critically examine p-curve. Below is Richard’s excellent summary of the many poor statistical properties of p-curve (with link to paper). I wanted to add some conceptual issues that we also tackle in the paper.

Paper drop, for anyone interested in #metascience, #statistics, or #metaanalysis! @clintin.bsky.social and I show in a new paper in JASA that the P-curve, a popular forensic meta-analysis method, has deeply undesirable statistical properties. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 1/?

I have yet to read a single story about men adopting AI at work (without being told) at a higher rate than women that presents it as anything other than men being smart. Not one story about how it implies they're lazier and less ethical. Because that's not the narrative that's being pushed about AI.

Today I taught my last class for this semester. Next time teaching is April 2026. 🥳🥳🥳 (Don't get me wrong, I like teaching. But time for research is exciting!)

I recently taught a course on minimizing mistakes in science. The most convincing argument to my masters students was that you never check mistakes that support the expected outcome, you only check if the outcome is unexpected. That's a hugely important bias!

1/5 For upcoming work I lately read some articles on handling mistakes in science. They share an important consensus I think everyone should know: Mistakes are a failure of systems, not people. In a working system, making a mistake is normal, but inconsequential. 🧵

#workingmemory researchers! It's time to nominate all of our brilliant and wonderful female colleagues for the 2025 #WomWoM research fairy award! 🧚‍♀️🪄 Please share widely -- deadline 2nd August! bit.ly/2025womwomfa...

Happy to share the publication of the Attentional Control Data Collection (ACDC⚡) at Behavior Research Methods. We have collected 64 data sets on congruency effects in an SQLite database. The database will hopefully grow soon, but working with open data is actually pretty complicated. rdcu.be/ethPM

Please check out this work by @seymaertekin.bsky.social et al. where we studied key empirical benchmarks of working memory in a large-scale sample of elementary school students. This type of data is AWESOME because you can get a lot of clarity - as long as you don't go down any rabbit holes...

Who here has the best commute? (Spoiler: it's me. Try and convince me otherwise.) Let me show you. Here is one of the THREE castles I am passing every day.

It's the best feeling when you see a deadline on the calendar for something you have already finished weeks ago. So cool!

Ok. LOVE anti-acknowledgements! What a great idea to say no thanks! I think it would be cool to see anti-acknowledgements from other people (unofficial ones for PhD, career, etc). As awful as these experiences sound, I am sure they are not uncommon. I am thankful to Rachel for sharing. 👩‍🔬🧪

New preprint! Individual differences in neurophysiological correlates of post-response adaptation: A model-based approach osf.io/preprints/ps... This work seeks to extract the effects of response monitoring on decision-making using model-based CogNeuro and methods to study individual differences.

One of my proudest moments during my PhD was fixing the probability density function of the gamma distribution on Wikipedia (someone confused rate and scale).

My evening plans, you ask? Sewing a wolf's tail back onto the wolf. I lead a dangerous life! 🐺

Applications for the ninth summer school on statistical methods for linguistics and psychology close on April 1, 2025. Every year people contact me saying they missed the call, so here it is again :) vasishth.github.io/smlp2025/

110 exams to grade. Wish me strength, compassion and coffee.

Currently, all the countries I have lived in for some time are in a dark place, politically speaking. It's a great time to get yourself to become more politically active. Let's make some noise against fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia, antisemitism etc.! 💪

I don't think anybody asked for this but Kenji López-Alt literally just posted "The Mathematically Best Way to Cut an Onion" www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkMl...

A Bayesian Workflow in Semantics. My favorite part is the Error Shooting Checklists!

Yup. Decided instead of making fun of the journal reminding me that my review was due today ("they should wait with reminders") it is my job to simply ignore the reminder. Or to never read it.

What a year.

Lab gift for the holidays: ☕! Not sure how we made it without a coffee maker for so long! 🥳🎁

Meanwhile in Germany www.tagesschau.de/inland/gesel... (try browser translation for English)

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

Finally happening!

💯

I just realized that I provided way too little cat content on BlueSky. That's not right. Here is some Frank for you. He says "you're welcome."

Some great advice on how to engage with BlueSky. Let's make this space as inclusive and safe as social media can be! 🪄

First go at a starter pack for everyone who is interested in Cognitive Control research. go.bsky.app/R28hGhN Let me know if I should add anyone. #neuroskyence

I just did this via settings -> accessibility. Let's make sure to use alt text for our images!

The *registration* for this year's satellite meeting of the Society of Mathematical Psychology at Psychonomics in New York City will *close Sunday, November 10!* If you plan to attend, register by Sunday for free on the meeting website: mathpsych.org/conference/17/

I am currently co-organizing a preconference for Psychonomics with the topic "Memory in the Wild". Registration will close soon! Check it out: mathpsych.org/conference/17/
