A recent redesign of OSF by @cos.io led to widespread access failures. What began as a few broken download links became for me a total disappearance of eight years of DOI-registered work. What happened, how was it resolved, and what it reveals about trust and infrastructure in open science

How do people differ in pursuing their social lives? In a new paper at JPSP, lead by Cornelia Wrzus, we examined the affiliation motive (and other social traits) as moderators of how people dynamically regulate their social interactions. Across two studies with experience sampling and

My 3.5 year old, Swiss German / English / Italian speaking daughter seems to have decided that 'Hochdeutsch' is just an adjective that means 'randomly screwed up language' and finds it hilarious to teach me hochdeutsch-English and hochdeutsch-Italiano.

Research funders at all levels must get past this fascination with unicorns and superstars. Invest broadly, and in enabling research infrastructures.

Hasok’s classic example is temperature and thermodynamics. You need thermometers to calibrate thermometers. You need thermodynamics to justify the concept of temperature. But you need thermometers to develop thermodynamics. The only way out is to start with a bad thermoscope (your hand) and iterate.

Software-ish paper rejected- stuff like: methods not totally novel, some limitations, not enough background. Agree all would be interesting but think they underappreciate that good implementations are difficult/scarce, will update & try elsewhere. Ok to include earlier reviews? is permission needed?
