This post has not aged badly unfortunately.

The 2024 edition was my favorite scientific meeting last year, lots of time to socialize, a nice dinner together, hearing about cutting-edge research from early career metascientists.

Okay everyone, things are getting serious. I’m going to teach research methods again, 1st year psychology undergraduates. What would you cover with respects to philosophy of science, the research process etc.? I’m not very happy with the textbook stuff so I’m open to all ideas!

Only a few days remained to submit your abstracts for presentation at PMGS Meta-Research Symposium 2025. Make sure to submit them before the end of July by filling the following form: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

🚨 Registration is now open for the PMGS Meta-Research Symposium 2025! 📝 Abstract submissions are still welcome—deadline: July 31. Plus: join our mini-workshop on coordination using GitHub on the afternoon of October 16. Find all the details & sign up here: paulmeehlschool.github.io/2025-07-16-s...

Very sad to learn that Helen De Cruz, who had been a constant online presence for me on Twitter and then here, passed away. Read her last blog post. A little gem on what we leave to others.

Metascience 2025 is fully booked in London, but everyone can register for the 10 virtual symposia that will be held from June 16 through June 27. Register now! metascience.info/virtual-symp...

Thanks to *both* of my supervisors ! Presenting at the @bapsciences.bsky.social is even better with your supervisors looking at you like 'you can do it'! Thanks to them @olivierklein.bsky.social @paulbertin.bsky.social

A recent attempt by psychologists to create 'consensus' on smartphones and social media was a huge failure: www.newscientist.com/article/2480... The lesson here is that our field needs to learn how other disciplines actually reach consensus (much more slowly and inclusively!).

Excellent presentation by @sajedehra.bsky.social today on the importance of more coordination in psychological science at the theory and open science meeting in Freiburg, which was so very lovely!

"Meta-science, in essence, involves the application of more rigorous methods than are presently used in the history and philosophy of science to answer questions about how science does and does not work best." Faust, 2005. doi.org/10.1002/jclp...

I just finished this incredible book and realized how little I truly understood about the replicability crisis and the story of priming. I think it is a must read for researchers. 📚 #replicabilitycrisis #ScienceBooks #Research #Meta-research #RuthLeys

I'm hiring a PHD candidate in Machine Learning-Informed Formal Theory Construction. Please encourage talented students to apply, or reach out if you want to collaborate. Looking for machine learning, theory development, and programming skills, and interdisciplinary interests! See tiu.nu/22752

I am teaching my phd writing workshop course this quarter, question: are there any words/phrases said to you by an advisor/mentor that stuck with you, were memorable, or particularly helpful? If so please reply below!

The long awaited results of the Brazilian Reproducibility Network are in! Their final sample consists of 97 replications of 47 studies. The only coherent measure of replication, p<.05, shows a replication rate of 19%. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Preprints are a form of research transparency; a way of uploading, describing and disseminating your scholarly article prior to peer review. What's your experience with preprints? What other transparent research practices do you do? #OpenResearch #Research #Preprints #Transparency

Just found out about @archive.org ! I was looking for a book from 1990 for a research project, but couldn't find it... 🥁🥁🥁 #internetarchive Just had to log in, and I can now read it for free ❤️ Magic archive.org #academia

“My hope for this is that it goes from something that was unimaginable until it happened, and then it was unthinkable not to do it,” says @ianhussey.bsky.social “You have to give people the permission, and incentive, to think in the first place that errors might exist.” www.wired.com/story/bounty...

Two interesting days ahead! #SwissRN #Reproducubility #Replicability #Zurichconference

The Metascience conference is coming to London! June 30-July 2, 2025

I went to only 2 in person conferences in my life (yet), and the second was this one, at the Royal society, about Preregistration. Brilliant event!

We are currently looking for a reviewer with expertise in SAS. Domain knowledge in intergroup dynamics would be ideal, but is not a must. If you are interested or know someone who might fit this description, please let us know! Reply here or email: error.reviews/contact/
