CAUSAL GRAPHS ➡️ HAPPINESS. 😍 Agree? & Work in/around Berlin? 🐻 Sign up for the 2026 Applied Causal Graphs Workshop! 🌟 Deadline Feb 28th ⬇️ applied-causal-graphs.de This 3rd edition is hosted by the great folks at Uni Potsdam 💡

If you have #LongCOVID, you might want to skip this book - written by a neurologist, whose book, The Age of Diagnosis, "ostensibly makes the case for Long Covid being a (predominantly) psychosomatic condition": @drelke.bsky.social bjgplife.com/suzanne-osul...

I've built a new tool! You can upload your pre-analysis plan or registered report, pre-submission to a registry or journal, and it will screen it for completeness, clarity, and consistency. 1/ 🧵

Improvements to methods should lead to more robust evidence and more rapid advances in knowledge. In their Perspective, Marcus Munafò & @mendelrandom.bsky.social look at why this hasn't been the case and what can be done about it #AcademicSky 🧪

As part of the Come2Data project, @scadsai.bsky.social, in collaboration with IMISE (@unileipzig.bsky.social) and EKFZ (@tudresden.bsky.social), is hosting a three-day training school on data science and AI for medicine in Leipzig. Registration: 👉 events.scads.ai/e/ai4medicin...

@cbsopenscience.bsky.social great opportunity to connect over open science in Leipzig coming up!

Promovierende leisten einen wesentlichen Anteil an der universitären Forschung. Damit treffen solche Kürzungen nicht nur Menschen an einem kritischen Punkt ihrer Karriere, sie bedrohen auch eine Kernaufgabe der Universität!

✨Tipps, um postakute Infektionssyndrome doch noch psychosomatisch zu deuten: - ständig wiederholen, wie ähnlich PAIS und somatoforme Störung seien, ohne zu sagen, sie seien dasselbe - wieder und wieder das ~Missverständnis~ aufklären, dass Psychosomatik keine psychische Genese annimmt

I am doing a short workshop in this symposium (quoted below) for folks in and around Leipzig. Here's the abstract. I really indulged myself with this one. A Guerilla Approach to Scientific Workflow:

Running an Open Science initiative but unsure how to make it seen and used? The OSPARK Bootcamp is your moment. Over 6 weeks online + a 2-day onsite workshop in Belfast, you’ll build outreach skills and work directly on your own initiative. 5 Mar–24 Apr 2026 Apply by 13 Feb buff.ly/BJWUVZG

"These findings challenge the traditional brain-centric view of reward processing, supporting a more integrated model in which vagus-mediated interoceptive signals intrinsically shape motivation and reinforcement."

The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)! Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Website: anniegbryant.github.io/subcortex_vi...

Tomorrow I will give a webinar on preregistration for the ManyMany's: What’s the use of preregistration for Big Team Science? You can join for free for the talk, and discussion afterwards. For more info, see: manymanys.github.io/events/

Ultimately, our findings suggest that without detailed information on specific procedures and scoring methods, results from the Iowa Gambling Task are essentially uninterpretable. For more info, check out our preprint 👉 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

10/🧵 If you’re interested in: - using RegCheck, - stress-testing it, - identifying bugs, - or formally evaluating its performance, I’m very happy to talk. App: regcheck.app Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2601.13330 Code: github.com/JamieCummins...

Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding. RegCheck was built to help make this process easier. Today, we launch RegCheck V2. 🧵 regcheck.app

Great présentation by Zdenka Pausova on the association of obesity and cortical atrophy, with evidence for the involvement of glial cells #Neuroepiomics @instituvbhi.bsky.social @omegalab.bsky.social

And yesterday I gave a fun collaborative talk with Ami Tsuchida from @institutvbhi.bsky.social on advanced MRI markers of vascular brain health 🧠🫀🔎 #Neuroepiomics2026 @institutducerveau.bsky.social

Great workshop by Professor Cavazos about the art of mentoring including practical tips #Neuroepiomics2026 @institutvbhi.bsky.social @institutducerveau.bsky.social

You can specify relative position in ggplot with I(x) I(y). E.g. annotate("text", x = I(.5), y = I(.5), label = "hello!") will place the text in the middle of the plot. This, combined with alignment arguments is like 87% of the magic for me.

Beautiful business research people: The Leibniz Information Centre for Economics has created an accessible introduction to Open Science that you can download in both English and German here: expedition-open-science.org You can even order the German print version for free!

Thanks to everyone who was there! It really is fantastic to know that 70(!) people are interested in storytelling to explain science! 💙 😱 Missed the talk? Don't worry, I recorded it (in German): youtu.be/hUY098T9p-k Thanks to @psycomm.bsky.social for allowing me to be one of the first talks! ✨

Readers of this thread may be interested in the Journal of Robustness Reports (scipost.org/JRobustRep), "which is dedicated to publishing short reanalyses of empirical findings". My postdoc @joshuamartin2902.bsky.social and I have an accepted submission: scipost.org/submissions/...

How likely is ‘likely’? Does ‘likely’ have a higher probability than ‘probable’? I put together a quick quiz so you can see how you interpret probability phrases, then see how you compare with others: probability.kucharski.io

I’ve been thinking about making a public lab notebook. Idea is a sort of working (but publicly saved) preregistration for active projects Is anyone doing something like this? And recommendations for where to host it?

Wisst ihr noch mein Vorsatz für 2026? Hab noch mal nachgedacht: es geht ja nicht nur um mich, wir gehen das mal direkt bisschen größer an. Nix da there is no glory in prevention blablabla. 2026, let‘s make Infektionsschutz COOL again. Gesund sein ist schön, Solidarität sowieso.

All I want for Christmas is... published nonsignificant findings and more Registered Reports? www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

[🧵10] all the answers given above are "yes", however, with their own ifs and buts; pls make sure to check the details in the manuscript 🔎 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

7/ Brain age’s role These results don’t discount brain age as a general health marker. It’s invaluable for big-picture insights. But for specific predictions, there’s still significant value in precise, targeted ML approaches. 💡
