It was a privilege to collaborate on this significant undertaking on open science in the developing world, under the leadership of Hu Chuan-Peng. The paper is now out! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I just talked to a great team from Kenya who described the challenge of paying for a statistical platform like SPSS, but then loosing the license and the skills. Of course, R solves the cost issue, but it was also nice to tell them about jamovi (and JASP)--free AND easy to use. www.jamovi.org

Any idea why CVS can't send me my vaccine record to my email (and doctors can't send info via email)? I have to create an account with two factor authentication, which is unavailable right now, to get access to a record that I got a flu shot?

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

I wanted to remind everyone about the "Save AIDS Research" livestream that will go live on YouTube this Tuesday (9/16) at 11:00am EDT. We have an amazing program of 70+ speakers who will be sharing their latest research. Get all the details at www.saveaidsresearch.org.

New research estimates that as many as 2.2 million more people could die of tuberculosis if U.S. cuts to foreign aid become permanent.

This is what happens when you stoke division and fan the flames of extremism.

It’s not only mothers’ brains that respond to seeing their baby—research by Newsome et al finds similar activation in certain regions in first-time fathers’ brains when they watch videos of their own baby—but not of other babies or their pregnant partner:

At least five historically Black colleges and universities received violent threats on Thursday, prompting several of them to place their campuses on lockdown and cancel classes.

I hope Charlie Kirk recovers quickly then, like James Brady, uses his megaphone to help advocate for common sense limits on firearms.

In the US and Korea, the assumption is that women, LGBTQ+ & people of color lack merit. "Upon entering office, President Yoon scrapped government gender quotas, declaring people would be hired on merit, not sex. He appointed just three women to his 19-member cabinet." www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

If you're an author and haven't yet signed up for the Anthropic settlement, do yourself a favor (and strike a blow against AI) by checking to see if any of your books were involved. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

At the FORRT Replication Hub, our mission is to support researchers who want to replicate previous findings. We have now published a big new component with which we want to fulfill this mission: An open access handbook for reproduction and replication studies: forrt.org/replication_...

Mark your calendars and tell your friends: No Kings 2.0 on October 18. The sequel will be (and HAS to be) even bigger.

We're going to see a lot of bullshit in the coming days and weeks about "causes of autism", and most will be based on flawed, over-interpreted observational studies (1/n)

When reporting on these kinds of claims, the media should ask:

Fun quiz; try it!

“Americans are frustrated with health care, and rightly so. It’s expensive, confusing and often unfair. I’ve written about its flaws for years. But as calls grow to burn it all down, we risk losing the very parts that are working,” Aaron Carroll writes.

We are about a month away from releasing a complete refresh of the OSF user interface. The team has been working on this for a very long time, and we are very excited to be able to share it soon. A preview picture:

Definitely ask to be nominated especially if you are from outside the U.S. but also from Universities that you often don’t normally see award recipients. Look at the APS fellows list for names to ask

PCI-Psychology just start accepting submissions. If you go through their peer review and get endorsed, you can automatically publish with PCI affiliated journals requiring no additional peer review. Some have a quick internal check decision process. psych.peercommunityin.org

Quick! I need your best biology-in-pop-culture trivia questions! Can be on the more human side or the ecology side.

I don't want to brag but ChatGPT said my query was "a really good question."

We're blown away by our community's enthusiasm and willingness to serve as a PsyArXiv moderator, reaching nearly 400 sign-ups! We are currently at capacity for what the system can handle, so we have closed this form.

I will vote for any candidate that can do these 3 things: 1. Stop the authoritarian takeover of America 2. Restore and revitalize public services 3. Don’t spam my phone

Due to a recent influx of problematic submissions, PsyArXiv has switched to pre-moderating its content. If your submitted preprint had not yet been approved, it will be temporarily inaccessible to the public (you can still view your preprint when logged into your OSF account). #PsychSciSky

Part of the beauty of this —and what makes it stand out from literally every other thing you see in official political communication, from any party—is that it shows someone appreciating without any shred of condescension the dignity of this person's life and the value of her work

This is literally the function for which they enrolled everyone in an inescapable system of total full-time surveillance

I could be wrong, but I don’t think we’ve fully reckoned w/how much the Trump agenda is rooted in racial grievance. Every day, we’re seeing the full force of white identity politics in action. Wild how much of it is just taken for granted, at least from where I sit. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/a...

This is going to undermine open science efforts. If data in PubMed can't be trusted, people will stop using it.

Psychologists & related fields: what is a big methods question that you believe remains somewhat unanswered & that you'd love to see adressed? There may be an opportunity for a large-scale meta-science project with many teams trying to figure out a question. Any thoughts welcome! #psychscisky

New study! The messages that American kids receive about immigrants are really mixed 😕 but kids who see and hear good things (e.g., online) are more open to including new immigrant peers in their own social circles 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 #devpsyc #socialpsyc doi.org/10.1016/j.ap...

The Washington Post's daily seven is supposed to keep you updated but it's turning into just another collection of click bait. I really wish the goal of news was to inform.
