I’ve never presented in a fancier room than this! It was great fun talking about a review we have been tirelessly working on as to how eyewitness researchers report on their coding schemes. Preliminary data suggests inconsistency and sometimes a lack of transparency. Paper and recommendations coming

Announcing a side-project that I have been working on for the past few months – introducing quokka, a free-to-use, in-browser app for qualitative coding. My goal was to make an app that was fairly intuitive and flexible so that it could fit most workflows. An app demo here: youtu.be/9jJK70W0hAI?...

Yet again we see the fatal consequences of the national crisis of men’s violence against women 💔 2024 has been a devastating year for women’s safety in Australia. What will be done to address this in 2025? At a minimum - funding commensurate with the crisis is urgently needed.

Researchers spend approximately 45% of their time on administrative activities related to #grants rather than actual #research. The current #competition in research #funding has significant drawbacks; evidence-based improvements of the funding system are required: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I set up a new research lab this year (Forensic Psych Lab), and I’m developing some awards for my awesome lab members (mostly undergrads). So far I’ve got awards for: achievement, enthusiasm, volunteering, and best thesis. Are there any other awards others can think of that would be good to include?

Australian universities are facing some tough times—poor funding rates, job cuts, and declining student enrolments. I discussed with @drjr.bsky.social how early-career researchers are being deeply hurt by these challenges in this @natureportfolio.bsky.social piece: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A scientist new to Bluesky? @steveharoz.com and @markrubin.bsky.social have put together some great resources to get you started!

An important thread about false confessions and their risk factors

Very proud of my first PhD student, Dr Ditte Barnoth, on the first publication from her PhD! ❓Ditte looked at whether witnesses seeking out another co-witness (volition), and memory distrust predicted susceptibility to misinformation. 🔗 Check out the paper here: www.emerald.com/insight/cont...

This is a couple of months old now, but here we look at #ExtrinsicEmotionRegulation / #InterpersonalEmotionRegulation from the perspective of each partner (regulator & regulated) and how unique and shared perspectives relate to relationship quality using a bifactor SEM. @caro-maccann.bsky.social

I wrote an article (which later formed the basis of my book, Smoke but No Fire) about people wrongly convicted of crimes that never happened in the first place. Over one-third of all known exonerations of innocent people are in no-crime wrongful conviction cases. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
