Thank you Francesca Gino for teaching us how not to handle getting caught faking data - namely by faking more data. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

'Violence has never been a distortion in American politics. It has been one of its recurring features, not an aberration but a persistent force, destructive and yet oddly creative'

Like the nation state based world system "the scientific system was never built for equity". So it seems unrealistic to expect this. They are inseparable political economies. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A few months ago, Nature published how-to guide for using ChatGPT to write your peer reviews in 30 minutes. This is, of course, a horrible idea. Here’s my response with @jbakcoleman.bsky.social .

I've started reading the "your brain on ChatGPT" preprint and am eager to keep up with the discussion: arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872 Initial thoughts: comparing ChatGPT to a drug is snappy, I do think about how the drug framing influences subsequent public discourse

How to know if we've drifted past testing and are p-hacking? If we are continuously searching for 'significant' heterogeneity, its probably too late. @lakens.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #sociology #psychology #metascience 🧪

“We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires, but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of the public schools, and the number of people who can and do read worthwhile books.” ~ W.E.B. Du Bois: A True Patriot

If 50% of a society is more or less racist, does it make sense that 50% of it's policies are more or less race biased?

We shld ween ourselves from Big Publishing. Societies like the American Sociological Association shld self publish. Societies where Elsevier took the rights to their journal titles ahld sue 4 their intellectual property & then publish their own. Following the model of @sociologicalsci.bsky.social

Now that is flipping the script. www.science.org/content/arti... #DEI #NIH #Science

We are reviewing the current state of scientific publishing, and we want to hear from researchers on their perceptions of publishing in the current context and how it might develop in future. Complete our short survey now:

To have change in sociology we need people to join The Society for Sociological Sciences @sociologicalsci.bsky.social. It is #openscience and it is taking us in the right direction.

The proportion of p-values between .01 and .05 declined in psychology over the last decade, a strengthening of credibility. Papers with fewer fragile p-values are cited more. Higher ranked journals assoc. with > improvement, but not higher ranked universities. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Helps me to remember that voting for a political party does not cause a person to have that party's leader's -isms and traits.

Calling for an "end" to something in science that is embedded in institutions, and a bias among so many people is overly utopian, as we have learned in recent political movements and backlashes. How about "engage", "understand" and "grow" as realistic goals? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We developed a short talk on Gen AI for our institute @die-bonn.de and developed "An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for Academics working" paper (with @hunghvnguyen.bsky.social ). Useful for getting started, possibly teaching. #openscience #GenAI #ChatGPT #sociology osf.io/preprints/so...
