This raises what I like to call the "AI test for tasks". If many people use AI to do task X, then that tells you that task X is actually just a brainless administrative exercise. Any such task should probably be eliminated, and if that's not an option, modified to make automation even easier.

⬆️avoidance learning / negative reinforcement in opioid-treated patients (26 chronic pain, 24 OUD) Cool project 🤔 Are opioids the common factor, or another vulnerability? Chronic pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, addiction ... All comorbid & w/ same predictors jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Another key aspect of stopping the new information tech (radio) from ruining democracy 100 years ago was gov’t regulation. Amongst many other regulatory tools, we regulated radio ownership. We also created public media to serve the public interest. The BBC came from the same motivation.

Citation impact and actual impact are not the same thing. What is the prototypical paper from the social-behavioral sciences that had both a huge citation impact and a huge actual (by your definition) impact? Vote by naming a paper or liking someone else's nomination. One box filled per day.

This is great, keep on adding suggestions everyone 😆

Great thread

Hi early career researchers I know job interviews can feel a bit like exams But having done six in the last week, let me tell you Chances are you’ve blown the minds of the interviewing panel 🤩🤩🤩

Seriously word?

Been working a lot on own & colleagues’ grants recently Many great proposals define the problem so narrowly that it leads directly to the solution the project offers Eg 1/

When I was an undergrad, I saw a talk by Oliver Sacks about music. During the Q&A, someone asked Sacks if he thought science would reveal the deepest mysteries of art. Sacks (a rare humanist among scientists) said that he doubted it, at which Eric Kandel (the host) leaped up and grabbed the mic.

Our systematic review and meta-analysis is now published in Neurobiology of Stress 🍾 Main takeaway: glucose increases cortisol stress reactivity (robust, small effect), but effects of progesterone and estradiol are weak and rather inconsistent. Read more about it here 👇🏻

Great advice on universities at risk of accepting the Compact: "Really all you need to do is get your campus to hand this issue over to a very, very slow committee!"

Interesting how companies and the financial world is racing to spend mindboggling amounts of money to build the infrastructure to train computers. But we are leaving the infrastructure to train and educate humans crumbling. The question is who will train who?

The Nobel Prizes, 5 of 6 having so far gone to US based scientists, are a reminder of why we must stand up for science against this horrid administration. Here are some great Scientist Activists to follow. go.bsky.app/14W5Rdk

It has been an amazing experience to be President of @improvingpsych.org for the past year. There aren't many societies that would engage early career researchers in leadership, but SIPS is very special 🧡✨

One week left to apply!

Brilliant thread summarising this field - perfect for those in other fields 🙏

“Added value” 🙄

Interested in brain-body interactions but unsure where to start? 🎮 Choose your character 👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬 Current scientists: a new review by @michaelgaebler.com A. Villringer & V. Nikulin 🧒🏼👧🏾 Future scientists (and people of all ages): our scicomm article with @agatapatyczek.bsky.social & @el-rei.bsky.social

So many policies meant to improve conditions for ECRs end up with a penalty for the ECR. My university makes us do this too, issue open calls for projects designed by a PhD or postdoc candidate even when named in grant 🤦‍♀️ Best case scenario is wasted time for candidate & other ECRs who apply 🤬

Next up, @honglab.bsky.social! Mice show prosocial behaviors and coordinate with each other to achieve mutual rewards. 🐭 Mice also get better at coordinating over time (waiting for the other, nose poking to time their behaviors)! 🐁 #S4SN2025

Please RT 2 new positions in the lab as postdoc & PhD! Interested in stress, pain, or reward? This project has it all! We are a friendly but ambitious group. Oslo is a capital city on the fjord & bordered by forest, great urban & outdoors opportunities: 💃 ⛷️ 🚣 🎭 🎶 www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Happening in sala 2 at 4.45 today! 🤩

More info on registration, keynote speakers, daily program, venue, etc. can be found on www.s4sn2025.org!

Only one more week before the #S4SN2025 meeting in beautiful Lisbon! 😱 Get your presentations ready, print your posters and pack your suitcases! 🚉 We are looking forward to meeting you and exchanging the latest social neuroscience research! 🌞

It’s going to be so much fun to talk new approaches to individual differences in pain, reward & interoception at #EBPS2025 I’ll be introducing single-case dense sampling designs, and what could be a better illustration of their coolness than your new fMRI study, @micahgallen.com 😁

Super stimulating talk by @anatajadura.bsky.social on all the cool work they’re doing on movement, multisensory integration & illusions in body image I’m lucky to be visiting her lab for the next few months 🤩

This is an amazing success story. We are happy to have published several papers there - it really has become the top neuroimaging journal within just two years. Kudos to all who had the courage to make it happen!

New preprint...and this one is truly EPIC 🚨. Using a large group of patients with depression and healthy controls (N>800), we show differences in the functional segregation of insular subnetworks. And we can use it to classify! Led by @glassybrain.bsky.social #neuroskyence 🩺 osf.io/preprints/ps...

incredible Ada Lovelace quote highlighted in a talk by Steve Furber. She spells out the dream of computational neuroscience, 2 centuries ago. The sheer ambition 🤩

If this is like brain imaging, in a few years it will mean people with a genuine interest in these topics will be doing harder work with fewer rewards while being left to clean up the mess of social psychology trend-chasers & careerists looking for a magic methodological shortcut that doesn't exist.

Will they ever fix these issues? We pay to publish Pay to read Write for free Edit for free Proofread for free And they won’t even give us a single login across journals 🤪

Cool thread! This is the kind of thing I’m in science bluesky for

✨ Exciting news for our upcoming S4SN Lisbon meeting! ✨ Join us from September 23-26 for a dynamic program filled with inspiring talks, poster presentations, and networking opportunities. Get ready to connect, learn, and share ideas in the beautiful city of Lisbon! The program is out 😍

In a 2015 TED Talk, Ms. Shirley said, “You can always tell ambitious women by the shape of our heads — they’re flat on top from being patted patronizingly.” Funny and agonizingly true at the same time.

I think it's time to retire the idea that oxytocin is exclusively a 'social' hormone. In our latest preprint, led by @kjerstimw.bsky.social, we argue that oxytocin should be reframed as a behavioral flexibility hormone osf.io/preprints/os...

I’m in! Please share. This is a small ask where if enough people come together we can fight those who are trying to disrupt a valuable platform

Tried putting a Cohen's d of 143 (!) into the Cohen's d visualiser, but it breaks when Cohen's d is larger than 2. Personally, I think it should break at the "chocolates vs. poop" preference threshold of d = 4.52.
