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!

"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.

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/

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...

The official 2026 Psychology and Brain meeting website is now online! Save the date: June 4 – 6, 2026 in Heidelberg, Germany More information to follow shortly on the website. We already have some awesome keynotes lined up. pug2026.org @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social @igor-dgps.bsky.social

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 🧪

Friends don't let friends sit through 1000 trials to test the task works*.... Did you know you can simulate responses in PsychoPy? Install the PsychoPy "Monkeys" plugin and have a play! *Actually this is exactly what friends do 😅 - looking at you psychophysics people...

Although some researchers manage to perfectly adhere to preregistrations, it is common to need to deviate. Not all deviations are consequential, but some are, and it is important to evaluate the impact of deviations on the severity of a test. online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

We are looking for a Postdoc who loves fMRI, psychophysiology and data analysis 🎉. We run studies on social cognition and related processes with a focus on schizophrenia. German skills could be beneficial, bc the position involves teaching, but not mandatory. stellen.uni-konstanz.de/jobposting/4...

Still feeling proud post-SIPS @improvingpsych.org ,our project ARIADNE was awarded a SIPS Commendation! It’s been a long path, but we made it. Tool’s live here: igor-biodgps.github.io/ARIADNE Paper is out too: doi.org/10.1177/2515...

It was a pleasure to be part of the @igor-dgps.bsky.social symposium and present #NODES 🔥 #PuG2025 We prolonged the surveying period for two weeks, so if you work with #hormones and want to contribute to developing a standard data format for our field, participate in our Delphi study via this link:

I'll say it over and over. I do not believe in gate keeping. I do not believe in pulling up the ladder. I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next. Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

First talk of the IGOR Symposium at #PuG2025 by @caggursoy.bsky.social, presenting ARIADNE: a community-driven, living resource to navigate research tools across all phases of the research cycle. A great helping hand for ECRs! 🧶 🔗 Read more about ARIADNE: igor-biodgps.github.io/ARIADNE/cont...
