📢 Call for big-team science! plz RT Our stage 1 RR at @pci-regreports.bsky.social, "Assessing diversity & representativeness of BTS in psychology" will start soon! We hope to include all available BTS in this list. 👇 🔗 docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Adding BTS by commenting. ⌛DDL: 2025-7-20

Had a great, thought-provoking time sitting on the panel about how feminist research and metascience are aligned. Our big argument = metascience IS feminist. It’s asking fundamental questions about knowledge, power, and credibility. We just have never framed it like this explicitly #Metascience2025

🎉 After 2 years of work, our #OpenScience guide for researchers in developing countries is LIVE! Check out our new preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... We map the opportunities 🌟 + barriers 🧱 facing Global South researchers. *(1/4)*

Grateful to Hannah Rubin for convening this interdisciplinary group of scholars to discuss #equity in scholarly communities! @sakshighai.bsky.social

“Toward a feminist metascience: Perspectives and pain points” metascience.info/programme/#1... With @sakshighai.bsky.social, @maddipow.bsky.social, @annayahprosser.bsky.social, and @crsugimoto.bsky.social, Nicki Lisa Cole, & Gowri Gopalakrishna.‬

Most weeks I recommend to our Leeds @ukrepro.bsky.social network an "Open Research Friday Reading". Why not share it here, too? Today I shared "A Manifesto for a Globally DEI Open Science" by @sakshighai.bsky.social et al. - important read for any social scientist ☝️ www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🚨🚨 I’m looking for a postdoctoral fellow to join my lab at Harvard's Psychology Department starting Fall 2025 🚨📣 Please share widely and spread the word to interested candidates! 🧵 🗓 Application review begins April 30 Apply here: rb.gy/k7q9kf (1/2)

Glad to see our research cited in this @theguardian.com article! 🌍 It's crucial to keep calling out the #climate destruction driven by the wealthiest. We should remember, though, that those of us with privilege—though less—also need to change. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Grateful for the chance to share my thoughts on responsible use of LLMs in psychology research @spspnews.bsky.social #spsp2025. Here's a summary of my presentation for those who missed it. Thanks to @ashwinia.bsky.social for organizing this panel! How should LLMs be used in psychology research? 🧵

A question for the #PsySciSky hive mind - with the exception of @sakshighai.bsky.social, who I interviewed last week, can you think of Psychologists doing research with / about rural populations?

#LSE #OpenResearch Working Group's 1st 2025 event "Publishing Beyond Academia" with panel @cwaiting.bsky.social @uk.theconversation.com, @jonsutton.bsky.social @psychmag.bsky.social, @michaeltaster.bsky.social @lseimpactblog.bsky.social, & me (having published with all three) - 🎥 to follow #SciComm

So excited to teach @sakshighai.bsky.social et al's beautiful new paper in my Feminist Research Methods class today. and it was published less than a week ago! An instant classic www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Happy to share the product of a very enjoyable collaboration, led by Sakshi Ghai, on bridging inclusivity and open science principles and practices: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

There are twin threats to psychology: the well-known HARKing (Hypothesising After the Results are Known) and the newly coined MASKing (Making Assumptions based on Skewed Knowledge). New paper led by @sakshighai.bsky.social in @commspsychol.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

"Psychology Takes a Global View" by @sipappas.bsky.social for APA Monitor www.apa.org/monitor/2025... Have a look if you are curious about what Big Team Science has to offer! "There are a lot of experts who are really motivated to be part of these collaborations despite the difficulties.” 🎤 Me :D

You may have heard of Questionable Research Practices and "HARKing" as threats to replicability. In a new paper led by @sakshighai.bsky.social, we argue that a similar practices -- Questionable Generalizability Practices and "MASKing" -- undermine generalizability. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

So excited to see this in print! A manifesto paving the way for responsible generalisation and co-authorship practices in open science - with an incredible team of scholars! Very much inspired by the benchmark Munafò et al. manifesto for reproducible science www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Well-being trajectories of older adults look different in absence of retirement, institutionalized income & social security. For source paper, see: tinyurl.com/3u5cc5nv

This from @karenlauram.bsky.social @sakshighai.bsky.social @nballou.bsky.social @matti.vuorre.com @shuhbillskee.bsky.social ++ really hits the nail on the head for me. 👇 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Do we have time for slow research? Led by Dr. Samia Akhter-Khan, our team delves into three crucial questions shaping the way we approach research in LMICs.

Excellent article by Akhter-Khan, @sakshighai.bsky.social and Mayston on psychology research in LMICs, uncovering truths about foreign others is not the main purpose of equitable research, www.nature.com/articles/s44...

PREPRINT 📰 Exploring cross-sectional associations between social connections/internet use during COVID-19 & mental health symptoms in 12 Global South countries - using UNICEF Innocenti data! osf.io/a3gfv with @sakshighai.bsky.social, @orbenamy.bsky.social and many more 🥳

Although this was not conceived as a piece of “developmental meta-research”, it fits with this theme because its focus is on how current research practice could better contribute to meeting the needs and priorities of people in low and middle income countries bsky.app/profile/saks...

Do big team science studies guarantee the global generalizability of findings? At the risk of not overgeneralizing ourselves, we reanalysed one big team science study on temporal discounting. Together with peerless @psforscher.bsky.social & @hcp4715.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Artificial intelligence is fueling an unprecedented boom this year in fake pornographic images and videos. It’s enabled by a rise in cheap and easy-to-use AI tools that can “undress” people in photographs or seamlessly swap a face into a pornographic video. Victims have little recourse.

Very happy and proud to have worked on this with such great colleagues @nballou.bsky.social @shuhbillskee.bsky.social Thomas Hakman and Kristoffer Magnusson ⭐ The main result of this piece is a robust uplift in player mood in the first half hour of video game play. github.com/digital-well...

We will present our collaborative project #BTSCON2023 as a panel discussion: Open Science in Developing Countries: A Collection of Practical Solutions in Psychological Science

This was my favorite read of the week! Truly resonates with the field of global mental health research...

Lack of contextualization affects cognitive testing, but the problem is even broader. For example, one of the most common stress inductions prompted one of our puzzled Kenyan participants to remark: "Why are we being interviewed for a job by butchers?" www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/gs-...

Thanks to everyone for the support (amazing way to end a long plane journey!) and for all the effort & energy that helped us get here - it always was and will be a team effort! I’m really humbled and honored to get to take on this role.

Born in 1897, Janaki Ammal was a trailblazing botanist in plant breeding, genetics & cytogenetics. She overcame gender & caste discrimination & was the first Indian woman to obtain a PhD in botany in the U.S. Ammal promoted conservation & was a pioneer of indigenous environmental approaches.

The future of psychological science is looking ☀️! Best news ever 🥳 Congratulations to @simine.com www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Such great news that the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine goes to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman! Here is a wonderful interview with Katalin Karikó; what a life she has had. www.youtube.com/watch?v=514n...

A massive shoutout to my tour-de-force supervisors @orbenamy.bsky.social & Lee de-Wit My gratitude runs deep, as I look back at my 11-year-long, non-linear journey post-undergrad from India As my mother's saree holds on to dear life in this picture, here's to challenging more cultural/gender norms
