New preprint! So, what's a multiverse analysis good for anyway?> With @jessicahullman.bsky.social and @statmodeling.bsky.social juliarohrer.com/wp-content/u...

Lots to think about in my annual roundup of peer review research: - AI, mostly bad; some suggestions of ways it may help - Evidence on financial rewards for peer review - Influence of editors' biases More on equity & diversity; librarians & systematic reviews absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2026/02/02/5...

I feel like someone’s gotta say something, so I guess it’s going to be me. I’m 100% certain that p-values are useful.

There is a lot of talk lately about multi-year funding (MYF) at NIH. This is mostly a paperwork issue, but it can have a dramatic impact on the number of grants that get funded. I was curious how this would impact grant numbers over time, so I did some simple modeling. 1/n

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

The US has officially terminated its partnership with the World Health Organization.

what the fuck are we doing here, @cnn.com?

Gratitutde to all NIH study section participants who are participating in rescheduled meetings now and in January. Thank you for your service and thanks also to the hard working NIH staff who are making these happen. 🥰🧪

The way I see it, we have a few options: 1. General strike 2. Mass protests in DC for as long as it takes 3. Wait for Republicans to protect the country and therefore lose the country No one is coming to save us.

Maxwell was rescued from Nairobi National Park as a calf. He's blind – and because rhinos use vision to assess rivals, he can never safely return to the wild. We built him a boma within the National Park, a special home to call his own, enjoy mud baths and interact with neighbours: swt.bio/maxwell

Excited to share a new paper just published in Neuroepidemiology! We used 22 years of longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study to answer a surprisingly unsettled question: How fast does memory decline in older adults without dementia? 🧵👇

🧠 A major study in Nature Medicine challenges common belief about education & dementia protection: higher education didn’t slow brain ageing; it provided a higher starting point. This advantage may be established in childhood, not built through schooling itself. 👉 share-eric.eu/research-res...

WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️

Multi-Year funding analysis, a 🧵 I have been trying to find a robust way of quantifying and understanding multi-year (forward funding). First, some background: Most NIH grants are for multiple years (2 to 5, typically). However, the are usually funded on an annual basis. 1/18

If only there was a good explanation as to why 🤔

There still seems to be a lot of confusion about significance testing in psych. No, p-values *don’t* become useless at large N. This flawed point also used to be framed as "too much power". But power isn't the problem – it's 1) unbalanced error rates and 2) the (lack of a) SESOI. 1/ >

Your answer cannot be biased if you never specified a question.

This is dark. But also, this display of solidarity on the part of the pentagon press corps should be a model for dealing with the regime

When students, faculty, and our communities are united to fight for our universities, for the common good, and for our democracy, nothing can stop us! WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN! @aft @higheredlabor.bsky.social #DefendHigherEd

Brown's rejection of the compact would not have been possible without the amazing mobilization of faculty, students and staff last week! When we fight, we win!! Score this as another victory for workers and students! @aaup.org

Brown rejects the compact! President Paxson’s letter references the views of stakeholders - & I know as an alum how activated the Brown community was while the school considered its response - an important reminder of how much organizing matters

@mariacarrilloalz.bsky.social of @alzassociation.bsky.social knows the #ADRD research community helps #geronsky. We got out NOA to many of you last month right before the #shutdown. The FY2026 budget request for #NIA is $2,686.5 million. #geronsky touches everyone. To see more, read here.

🚨 Position Alert! 🚨 I am looking for a full-time Research Scientist 1 to join my lab in Albuquerque, NM at the Center on Alcohol, Substance Use, and Addiction (CASAA). We will be studying how stress and trauma influence cannabis and substance use. 🧠🌿 (1/5)

Here is NIA. NIA made on 51% as many new R01 awards in FY25 compared with FY24. 7/n

A mentee should have had her first R01 funded 😔

Once again, it is *faculty*—not administrators—who brought this case and won. Including UC Faculty Association chapters of the AAUP.

For this who are unaware, the reason NIH now posts these data habitually on the data book site is… Jeremy Berg. He pioneered this openness as NIGMS Director.

We are creating an academic journal and *you* can shape it! Make comments and suggest changes to replicationresearch.org 's - Constitution - TOP guidelines - article types - and reviewer guidelines until September 5 and be credited as a contributor: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I know a lot of neuropsychologists—all of you should be voting for @drmlamar.bsky.social as the head of INS! Any professional society would be lucky to have her as president.
