Intervening on a central node in a network likely does little given that its connected neighbors will "flip it back" immediately. Happy to see this position supported now. "Change is most likely [..] if it spreads first among relatively poorly connected nodes." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ok, please school me. I can take it. I need a better way to do this: data |> group_by(x) |> mutate(n = n()) |> ungroup() |> mutate(x = reorder(factor(x), n)) #rstats

Dear journal editors, I urge you to establish or expand author-friendly submission guidelines that avoid unnecessary time-consuming formatting work. Although some journals have already made progress in this area, there is still much room for improvement. A plea based on a few painful experiences 👇.

Happy to share the first meta-analysis on biased belief updating in depression, published in Clin Psych Rev. Across 29 studies, depression was related to a reduced belief update following positive information, but not to an increased update following neg info. 👇 authors.elsevier.com/c/1lsBL~0r1z...

In 2 studies using real social interactions, dep symptoms were related to a reduced update of self-beliefs after positive social feedback and increased learning from neg fb relative to pos fb. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I once saw a (very interesting) talk about sleep in which the speaker started by saying that we don't really know how to define sleep, and then proceeded to operationalize sleep in flies as basically periods when they are still for a long time. This got me thinking...

* Honest, open dialogue between differing perspectives is a core value worth preserving. * The form of such dialogue, without the honesty or openness, has been co-opted by bad-faith actors as a cynical strategy to garner respectability. * There are plenty of suckers eager to fall for the ruse.

Is the assumption of human existence evidence-based?

Calling out political extremists for being hypocritical (“they claim to value free speech, but actually try to censor speech they don’t like!”) is like calling out a football team for playing both offense and defense. They’re not trying to embody fixed standards, they’re just trying to win.

RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.

"However, extant research and theorising has not sufficiently considered the fact that psychedelics, and the feeling of insight they engender, do not necessarily prefer accuracy, and are not necessarily adaptive from a clinical perspective." www.nature.com/articles/s44...

1️⃣ Die Bayerische Akademie für Sucht- und Gesundheitsfragen warnt vor gefälschten „Oxycodon“-Tabletten! In Berlin wurden mehrere Hundert Tabletten sichergestellt. Sie enthalten kein Oxycodon, sondern das extrem potente synthetische Opioid N,N-Dimethyl-Etonitazen (Nitazene-Gruppe).

Ich freue mich übrigens weiterhin, wenn ihr mir Vorschläge schickt oder selbst Stellen frei habt :)

Psychologists & related fields: what is a big methods question that you believe remains somewhat unanswered & that you'd love to see adressed? There may be an opportunity for a large-scale meta-science project with many teams trying to figure out a question. Any thoughts welcome! #psychscisky

I'm very happy to see meta-science on methods research getting more attention in the form of a great new call for papers! I recently gave some talks on the existing literature on the quality and transparency of sim studies & ideas for future improvement. Slides: bsiepe.github.io/talks/2025-0...
