#Psychology still has a way to go. Seen few times recently.... I use a similar robust methodology in two papers. One gets "excellent paper...." The other, reject, methods etc not robust. The glaring difference..... One has significant effects, the other doesn't.

I love the track submission feature some scientific journals have. It gives me another thing to click on. Really does spice up the day.... #academia #publishing

A couple of days ago I was in a museum dedicated to the Dutch resistance during WW2. Attendees were given the opportunity to leave a note on the wall.

Its worth remembering that when the broad population realize (if they do) that a country is an authoritarian state, its already too late. Its less about what research they are cancelling or not funding, and more about the bigger picture. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Visas for researchers in Ireland are much much cheaper, much less hassle to renew, and you don't need one for your kids at all.

This is what I saw every other day as a child in rural Connemara in Ireland which is an Irish speaking area (where I am from). It is so heartbreaking seeing what is happening. It is so disappointing and upsetting seeing so many of those in any form of power being silent.

As strange as it is to say, I'm convinced that the pandemic was such a globally devastating emergency that it masked how clearly incompetent and ignorant Trump is. He demonstrated plenty of it during his last term, but this is next level stuff.

***Just Published*** Our recent paper (led by phd student Dr Aisling Curtis) seeking to determine if #loneliness in adulthood is an indirect pathway (mediator) between adverse childhood experiences and risk of premature death (measured as time to death across nearly 3 decades)...(1) #adversity

***Just Published*** Our new paper led by doctoral student Aisling Curtis just published in Social Science & Medicine. We review the relation between adverse childhood experiences and loneliness during adulthood. Paper here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #openaccess #loneliness #adversity

Roy Baumeister called ego depletion "one of the most replicable findings in social psychology." As someone who spent 20 years studying it—and ultimately had to admit it wasn't real—I have to respectfully disagree. Here's my perspective of what went so wrong.

Wait till they hear about the crises facing psychology....!

Deadline fast approaching to apply.

We have a call open for editor for Psychological Bulletin. Deadline is Monday January 13, 2025. If you know someone or you are interested see the link below. Its a great journal to be involved with. www.apa.org/pubs/journal...

New preprint led by one of my doctoral students Aisling curtis. We tested if #loneliness in adulthood is a mediating pathway linking adverse childhood experiences to mortality risk (26 years). Short answer:yes Loneliness is a v important in explaining why ACEs lead to shorter life. osf.io/se5k6

Big news from Finnish publication forum. Almost all MDPI and Frontiers journals will be downgraded to level 0 and thus are not considered as properly peer reviewed trustworthy scientific journals. julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/news/chan...

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

It would be great if more papers were published that didn't hang onto some theory beating data to death with it. We badly need more research drawing on diverse perspectives beyond the field. Personally, I would be looking to the arts. #venting

If you've been meaning to catch up on some important discussions around preregistration, I'd recommend this exchange in Assessment, beginning with this paper by @klonskylab.bsky.social: journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1... (continued, 1 of 3)

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.

Half expected a tabloid headline that the grey squirrels were coming in taking the jobs of others squirrels!

"Substantial increase in [alien invasive] grey squirrels in England is concerning, campaigners say." Time to bring back pine martens!!! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Most folks don’t realize this, but a single pound of beef is responsible for about 100 pounds of greenhouse gas pollution. That’s 50x worse than coal, on pound for pound basis.

The hardest part of this really is, to quote Van Gogh " I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process." We put everything into trying to do the right thing as well as possible & then a reminder like this is like a kick in the face. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
