Would anyone have any interest in a lightweight app where people could easily report current quality failure rates? Would then display smoothed averages for different platforms, helping track temporary blips vs consistent declines

🚨 NEW PUBLICATION ALERT 🚨 Published in Public Understanding of Science with @justinsulik.bsky.social: "How do you argue with a science denial meme?" People rate response strategies to a science denial meme (specifically the "If humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?" meme)

Researchers in psychological sciences "who were more tolerant of ambiguity were...more likely to think that social, contextual or holistic considerations are vital for psychology."

Why do scientists disagree with each other? This new study from @justinsulik.bsky.social et al. surveys psychologists to find that scientific divides are associated with differences in researcher cognitive traits. @mi3lab.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

On my way back from a great #SciSci workshop at @mi3lab.bsky.social, where I was happy to present our work on a computational psychology of science. Fruitful exchange with scholars from different fields - many thanks to @justinsulik.bsky.social and @euroscisci.bsky.social for making this happen!

Why do people put out preprints as DOCX? I'm always surprised when I hit the download button and don't get a PDF. Am I missing something, or do people just not know that opening a DOCX on a different system could wreck your layout?

Would be super grateful if all #language #langsky and #linguistics peeps could share this postdoc job offer.

This is one of our most wonderful students and the university doesn't understand they basically tricked her into studying here because they didn't explain the extortionate fees they would apply to her after the pre masters. Please if you're able, consider donating. www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

Poor little Gus is having surgery this morning. Hopefully the worst of it will be the fact that he had to skip breakfast. Despite bellowing about it.

SciSci starter packs! Adding a second starter pack here since we ran out of capacity with the first one: go.bsky.app/NeZvnb5 The first one can be found here: go.bsky.app/2R1E4TD Please nominate or self-nominate with an example work. Please share! #AcademicSky #SciSci #SciPol #metascience

November 18 is the International Day of LGBQTIA+ People in STEM! Today more than ever we want to stress the importance of communities, building connections, and raising each other up. Let's keep leaving our mark for the betterment of us all! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #QueerinSTEM prideinstem.org/lgbtstemday/

New starter pack: I created this one for people interested in research on #science #communication and public #engagement with science. Feel free to follow them, share the list, and suggest additions! #scicomm go.bsky.app/3qW3UL2

Joining in on the buzz: I started a list with researchers working on trust in science across disciplines! Any suggestions? Self-suggestions more than welcome!! Let’s connect! Please share widely 🤗 #trustinscience #scicomm go.bsky.app/UXRS1uq

First time that my youtube feed has spontaneously suggested someone I know as the next video to watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mey9... @garicgymro.bsky.social

Ok now bluesky is complete. No more reasons to go anywhere else ever again.

New work with @hanachronism.bsky.social—my first foray in experimental science communication! osf.io/8qgh3 Once while I was walking down the street wearing a Darwin-themed tshirt, someone yelled at me "If we descended from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" How do you argue with that?

We all love a good meme, but how can you argue against memes that contain scientific mistruths? @hanachronism.bsky.social & @justinsulik.bsky.social are on the case! They look at responses to mis- & dis- info and what makes such rebuttals effective. osf.io/preprints/ps... #Commsky #politisky

🚨We are still looking for participants for our survey on piloting practices in psychology! We want to make sure we get a good spread across sub-disciplines so please feel free to pass this on to your networks #psychology #metascience #openscience #phdsky

No, that's a widget. A Glaswegian is a dabbling duck of the genus Mareca.

MTurk Studies “Negative attitudes toward MTurk sometimes reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of what the platform offers and how it should be used in research.” doi.org/10.1177/1745... #Methodology #Psychology #MetaSci 🧪 PoliSky

New preprint, "The limitations of LLMs for understanding human language and cognition" ... our experience so far is that people love to hate this paper, but love it or hate it, it's here! osf.io/preprints/ps...

This is a really great group to work with if you fancy a potentially impactful role in open science in Munich.

Do you worry that online studies (e.g. on MTurk) involve poor quality data? The good news is that high-quality responses are achievable! The less-good news is that it's all up to you - and requires substantial time and effort journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.... w @nerdpro.bsky.social

universities are weird but for a reason (#recombinant ideation) #philsci www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🚨3-year postdoc position🚨 Work with us at the MPI for Human Development on NLP projects at the intersection of psychology, AI, and scientometrics involving LLMs and the large-scale analysis of publication records. Only a few more days to apply. Thank you for sharing!

Universities as anarchic knowledge institutions. Säde Hormio and I have a new paper accepted for publication. We argue that unis should not aim to be lean, streamlined organizations. Diverse repertoires of problems, solutions and people are needed for sustainability of inquiry osf.io/preprints/so...

We're looking for a research assistant in Munich for a project on vaccine hesitancy. This is the qual part of a broader project on diverse reasons for vaccine hesitancy #wisskom cvbers.com/join-us/

This is a very enjoyable read by Adam Mastroianni about why humans discovered fancy things in math thousands of years before we discovered the simplest things in psychology. Seems like the latter should be easier, no? Perhaps that's part of the problem www.experimental-history.com/p/on-the-imp...
