I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :( So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

I'm increasingly uncomfortable with publishing my work open access using a CC-BY licence, as required by many goverment funders. Unlike CC-BY-NC, this permits the work to be fed into thieving large language models for commercial gain. Am I the only one who's unhappy with this? #AcademicChatter

🌉 In Newcastle spirit, we’ll be speakin’ a bit Geordie from time to time—so divvint fret if ye need a translation now and then! Onto the poll.. You lot voted for extra scran [food] & coffee—and that’s what ye’ll get! Can’t dee science on an empty belly, like. Canny conference fuel incoming! ☕🍅

✨Heads up, EHBEA folks! ✨ The #EHBEA2025 schedule is continuing to evolve, so don’t treat it like it is set in stone just yet! 🪦 👀Check it out—and check back weekly for updates! 📅 tvpollet.github.io/ehbea_2025_s... @ehbea.bsky.social

me: “I’ll register later” also me: realizes there are only 11 days left 🫠🫠😨 Don’t be that person. Register for #EHBEA2025 before the deadline ghosts you 👻

Between the US having been the powerhouse for academic conferences and research (with funding), and financial struggles of so many institutions across boarders (UK/Canada ++) the research landscape will not be the same. What will it look like going forward??

When life gives you data, make memes 😍

Great stuff @ukri.org @jessicacorner.bsky.social A plea for a simple extra: a visible statement from UKRI that confirms panels want realistic costs not the cheapest costs. It would help shift applicant behaviour which currently removes real costs due to fear that panels prefer low cost applications

"From the moment I arrived, I begged every officer I saw to let me pay for my own ticket home. To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly two weeks."

Very happy to be representing @manyprimates.bsky.social. Join us to discuss all things Big Team Science!

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world. 
I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

Do you prefer ‘a person with ADHD’ or ‘an ADHDer’? If you have ADHD (and you are 18+ years), we would like to know what you think as part of our research on disability language preferences. To have your say, you can complete a 10 – 15 minute survey deakin.au/4iqPuOi #ADHD #ADHDAwareness

Interesting -- imagining first- vs. third-person perspectives had NO effect on prosocial behaviours. ⛔ ...Adding to the growing body of null findings for intrapsychic effects, with high-powered pre-registered studies. #SocialPsyc link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚨Whoa 🤯 Contrary to what I would expect - new study analyzed 11,537 NSF-funded social science researchers and found **no effect of funding on the quantity or quality of their research** over five years. [1/3] #FundingBias #AcademicResearch link.springer.com/article/10.1...

What a fatanstic quote! Kudos to @jamesheathers.bsky.social & @steamtraen.eu for more fantastic work helping make science more trustworthy - and less gross in this case! 🏆
