It's that time of the year: IGOR is going to #PuG2026 in Heidelberg! 🧠 Interested in open and reproducible science? Come meet us, discover our latest work, and get involved. 🧵 Check the thread below for all our events #PuG2026 #IGOR [1/6]

Nicht vergessen. Der kühlste Mai für den Rest deines Lebens. 👌 „Die globalen Temperaturen werden in den nächsten fünf Jahren auf Rekordniveau bleiben, wobei der jährliche Durchschnitt bis zu 1,9 °C über dem vorindustriellen Niveau erreichen könnte, wie Wissenschaftler festgestellt haben."

every desktop environment sucks so i just started using minecraft as my desktop environment

Es ist kühl? Zu kühl? Ja. Macht die globale Erhitzung eine Pause? Nein! Außerdem wirkt die veränderte Atmosphäre zu jedem Zeitpunkt aufs Wetter. Du lebst in einer anderen Atmopshäre im Vergleich zur vorindustriellen Zeit. Das ist die physikalische Realität in der DU lebst! #Klimakatastrophe

📣 The difference between replicable and not replicable is not itself scientifically replicable. 📣 New work with Erkan Buzbas, showing that verdicts such as "X% of results replicated" are based on an inferential machinery that doesn't work. arxiv.org/abs/2604.26268

Interesting study, would love to reproduce the methods with microtonal music

Classical and jazz music have become simpler and more uniform from the mid-20th century and are now closer in complexity to genres such as pop and rock, according to a study in Scientific Reports. go.nature.com/4cGQBIa 🧪

Had the weirdest dream last night: I was pitching Positron IDE to some colleagues, and vividly remember that the variable explorer was a big thing. Anyway if you havent heard Positron or @posit.co yet, have a look here: posit.co/products/ide...

Only 6 days left to register for the early bird price. For only 90 € you get three days of networking on topics of memory and sleep.

The SCORE investigation of repeatability and credibility is a lot. There are a few ways to get your head around it. 1: The Nature collection includes 3 papers from SCORE, an amazing paper from @i4replication.bsky.social and several commentaries about the work. www.nature.com/collections/... 1/

Happy that I contributed to this, hopefully influencing, project. Double happy that it was built upon ARIADNE framework!

News Flash: Learning things changes your brain's chemistry and physiology. Protect your brain; stop learning anything new.

"There are signs that the Bayes Factor is increasingly taking on a role analogous to that of the p-value, serving as a device for the automation of decisions rather than as a tool for substantive inference." Excellent new preprint by Carol Ting on the rise of NHST. #Methodology #stats

Everytime I receive a "resource add" issue on ARIADNE's GitHub repo, I feel a tiny accomplishment baloon just floating up to the sky.

Guys, a bunch of you are opposed to Elon Musk saying weird stuff, but did you know that every time he does so I get a bump in sales for A City on Mars? And much of that increased revenue supports the local Taco Bell. Think about it.

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

New preprint! @marentierra.bsky.social @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I have been working on what CAIL means to showcase & propagate the idea of thinking very differently to tech industry norms on "artificial intelligence" Towards Critical Artificial Intelligence Literacies doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 1/

Another good reason to use and help grow ARIADNE! We will never incorporate LLMs in it! igor-biodgps.github.io/ARIADNE/grap...

Ten Simple Rules for AI-Assisted Coding in Science arxiv.org/abs/2510.22254 - our latest, led by @ericwbridgeford.bsky.social

Skip the whole article, and focus on the last two paragraphs: ^Universities are “literally sitting, fish in a barrel, waiting for these very well-funded organizations to come knocking” and then signing million-dollar contracts with them, he says. “It is an absolute abdication of leadership.”^

I wish Graeber was alive, and wrote a piece about the current AI shenanigans. What a shame that he died just before this era.

How FAIR is shared data in psychology? We analyzed 11,384 datasets (2013–2024): They're findable, but less reusable! What relates most to differences in FAIRness? #Repository choice. 👉 Preprint: doi.org/10.23668/psy... @mariogollwitzer.bsky.social @kaisassenberg.bsky.social #metascience #SciSci

I wonder what people coding in VHDL thought about people coding in Assembly thought about people coding in Fortran thought about people coding in Pascal thought about people coding in C++ thought about people coding in Python thought about people just using MCPs on Agent Builders.

The AI-news space is filled to the brim with either harsh critics or reckless fans; yet in his recent piece for the Scholarly Kitchen, Phill Jones shines a cautious but positive light on the last 3 years with ChatGPT and the future. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/10/13/t...

We're less than two days away from our IGOR panel discussion "Have we solved the replication crisis?" - yes, the title’s provocative on purpose! 📣 📅 Friday, 10 Oct | 10:00–11:00 CET Contact us in DM to attend! #OpenScience #Neuroskyence

Taking a break from #OSC2025 in wet Hamburg by having a short outdoor reading session! Now reading @karenhao.bsky.social’s views about the whole “AI showbiz”

Live footage of Nobel committee giving the Physics prize to quantum computing.

Attending #OSC2025 in Hamburg and taking a bus to the venue. After 6+ years in Germany and residing in Heidelberg, it’s a clear cut which city got rich with trade and which exist just because they have a 500+ yr old university!

I'm really focusing on the last part, where the author discusses that we need to be watchful when using such tools. Especially in research, where the trust in European societies in science were quite high in the last few centuries and there's virtually no "room for error".

We have asked the new EMBO Members to tell us about themselves and what makes it so compelling to work in science today. 🧪 In the sixth video of the series, EMBO Members tell us about turning points and pivotal moments in their scientific journeys. #LifeSciences

Last year we had a lively discussion about "Power Abuse in Academia" and this year's topic is as relevant as it gets for an ECR! So DEFINITELY join this event, network & brainstorm with other ECR fellows! (Also, organizers from bioDGPs and DGPA are really cool people!)

Verrückter Fakt des Tages: #vfdt Über eine Million Menschen erkrankt weltweit jedes Jahr wegen Kohlekraftwerken an Lungenkrebs. Wie würden wir reagieren, wenn so eine Zahl durch andere Ursachen zustande käme? Durch eine nuklear Explosion? Eine Krankheit? Eine Terrorgruppe?

Open data is becoming essential. Our State of Open Data report suggests open data is on brink of becoming standard, and sharing data helps create a more equitable research ecosystem. This blog looks at how and why research data should be shared: spklr.io/63329BH7E9 #OpenScience 🧪

"Who counts as ‘the elite’? The survey results are surprising. 🧐 – Only 11% see journalists as part of the elite. – Scientists and academia: just 31%. So far, so good, I guess? – But even the President is considered elite by only 54%. But it shows how blurry the very concept of ‘elite’ really is."

Exciting times ahead! As of 1st of September I have taken a new position as a Research Data Analyst at @springernature.com. Focusing on the publishing side of the Open Science now! Not quite completed my PhD yet, as I still need to go back and defend my thesis.

Open science speeds up scientific progress. As a researcher, sharing your research outputs openly is crucial to address the world’s most urgent challenges. This blog explores benefits of sharing protocols for you and the scientific community: spklr.io/63325BHgGF #OpenScience 🧪
