Women let down by how institutions handle incidents of sexual harassment – new study reveals almost half of women reporting incidents have negative experience #highered https://ow.ly/tBIF50X2V5N

Gave 3 welcome lectures to our lovely new and returning psychology students today. God I’ve missed teaching so, so much

Just gonna say that this is a foundational principle of EBTC (ebtox.org) that I work for, where part of the function of the collaboration is to provide support for people who might be marginalised in their workplaces, and we have a cast-iron don't-be-a-dick policy for involvement.

This morning I gave a talk in beautiful Norrköping about how scientific credibility may be enhanced by embracing mess and bias, rather than clinging to objectivity and a PhD student gifted me this sticker that says “scientific objectivity? Girl please”. I love it here 🇸🇪💕

Is anyone else finding the whole existential and intellectual threat of AI, rise of far right sentiment, mainstreaming pornification of women’s bodies, and erosion of human rights thing a bit much at the moment? Because same

Psychological Methods invites early-career psychologists to apply to be a 2026 Editorial Fellow. This year kicked off our EF program -- it was enriching for the EFs and rewarding for everyone involved. Let's do it again! For details: www.apa.org/pubs/journal... @apajournals.bsky.social

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

A very good article, worth a read!

This is such an important thread, but this post really made me sad, because the broader scholarly infrastructure has (been) eroded to the point that knowledge exchange simply can't exist in the way it used to and there's little that journals can do about it. Because that infrastructure was people.

So excited to be heading to lovely Sweden next week to give a talk to Linköping University about reflexivity and research integrity and to give my first public lecture at the Norrköping Visualiseringscenter about the history of women in science reform! 🔭✨ visualiseringscenter.se/en/event/key...

Wrote this on the train home from Metascience. Can’t quite believe this one needed saying, but I really think that if conversations about research integrity and open science don’t take academic bullying seriously, we’ll keep perpetuating the same system that science reform was trying to change.

"This would mean building policies and practices, at every level, that support not only rigorous research but humane and compassionate interactions with one another: the values of collegiality, care and thoughtfulness that open research claims to promote." #OpenSci #MetaSci #AcademicSky #PhDSky 🧪

Our contribution to an upcoming book on teaching open science was "how to teach reproducible research". There are plenty of lesson plans or individual courses out there but less on how you can build skills across a whole degree. osf.io/preprints/ps...

SV: I would like to ask the scientific community to expect more of journals. We should expect them to be transparent and accountable, just as they expect us to be transparent and accountable. We can chose to review for journals that align with our vision. #PRC10

So jealous that I'm not at #PRC10 (because I haven't yet figured out how to clone myself and be in two places at once) but the programme looks so brilliant. I really hope there's some discussion about how framing peer review as pedagogy may be a useful way forward too wonkhe.com/blogs/peer-r...

Hugely recommend going on holiday alone and getting spontaneous silly little tattoos of your life philosophy

Currently on a one-woman tour of all of the best book shops and cafes in Barcelona. I am having an unbelievably lovely time 📚☕️ 🌻

I'm putting together some datasets relevant to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (for teaching purposes) and wondered if anyone has suggestions for interesting datasets on these themes. You can see what I'm aiming at in the first chapter. psyteachr.github.io/sdg-data/

Yeah, feedback literacy to inform academic peer review 😀

Today I tried real noise-cancelling headphones and felt my jaw relax for the first time in my adult life

(1/2) @maddipow.bsky.social draws an interesting comparison here regarding #PeerReview. I think this could really benefit bad reviews but probably not rogue reviews - the latter consisting of bias, rudeness & deliberate mishandling! One thing it underscores - Peer review training is essential!

using AI to review a paper is one thing (and there's a lot to be said abt that), but submitting a paragraph-long AI summary as a review is a whole 'nother level of laziness. editors, flag that shit & never pass it along to the authors. also don't accept any papers or reviews from that reviewer.

I have shared SO many titbits from this keynote about AI and qual methods in the past few weeks, but my favourite bit ever is the reference to this gorgeous quote: "To turn to AI for structure seems less like a cheat than a deprivation, like enlisting someone to eat your hot fudge sundae for you"

I can never understand why efforts to improve peer review don’t learn from the decades of educational research about how to do good, robust, constructive assessment and feedback. What would happen if we treated peer review as pedagogy? New in @wonkhe.bsky.social wonkhe.com/blogs/peer-r...

I hosted my first symposium - 'Identity, Pride, and Research; Centring LGBTQ+ Voices in STEM' !! The day had some great talks covering topics such as bi-invisibility, queerness in field research, why LGBTQ+ leadership matters, and intersections concerning autism and gender ambiguity...

Very taken by this on supporting education-focused academics through lens of self-determination theory. I've seen 1st-hand the impact giving people some degree autonomy over their workload can have, even if they can't change total, having some say in what it involves is very powerful #AcademicSky

Today's hot take: AI is the ozempic of academia

Writing today about how advocates for open science and metascience need to read more 1980s feminist psychology before they claim too boldly that their ideas are new. I've never enjoyed writing anything as much as this

I’ve spent the past 1.5 years working on this baby and now she’s finally off to the publishers for the last time!💖 In a nutshell, the book shows how the work of women in psychology is important and clever and disruptive, but has been woefully neglected by our discipline. Writing this has been a joy
