Walter de Staplecat, Simpkin IV, Teabag, Balthasar and Benny D Cat take the stage as we meet the college cats of Oxford. And, of course, Magdalen’s Ozymandias. Read on for our photo special. (Includes a cat map.) oxfordclarion.uk/college-cats...

We built the openESM database: ▶️60 openly available experience sampling datasets (16K+ participants, 740K+ obs.) in one place ▶️Harmonized (meta-)data, fully open-source software ▶️Filter & search all data, simply download via R/Python Find out more: 🌐 openesmdata.org 📝 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

So excited this project is now openly available: an ESM / EMA database that currently features 60 open datasets, with many more to come. Check out our accompanying preprins, too :) 🧪 #PsychSciSky #StatsSky #Psychiatry #PublicHealth #EpiSky

We released a pretty cool dataset/preprint today looking at video game play, cognition, time-use and a ton of self-reported psych measures at osf.io/preprints/ps... with @nballou.bsky.social @matti.vuorre.com @thomashakman.bsky.social @rpsychologist.com and @shuhbillskee.bsky.social RRs coming soon

Are #smartphones and #socialmedia harming a generation? This is a hotly debated and often polarizing debate. So we surveyed over 120 experts on the topic to see where there was genuine consensus (or not), like experts have previous done for climate change. See our paper: osf.io/preprints/ps...

How can we responsibly use AI in research? Guidelines quickly get out of date without fundamental principles. Our consensus describes the fundamental principles required for responsible AI usage. Please RT osf.io/preprints/ps...

I really enjoyed reading this world view in Nature about the importance of exploratory research in the social sciences by @balazsaczel.bsky.social and am wondering what people think. Do you generally agree with his point? 🧪@natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I'm so glad that we are rebuilding #AcademicTwitter and #ScienceTwitter! They were extremely important communities, and their decline was a genuine loss. I am grateful and hopeful that Bluesky is giving us the chance to rebuild these remarkable human networks. #AcademicSky #ScienceSky

Horrifying statistics obtained by UCU show 61% of undergraduate tutorials at Oxford colleges done by junior academics on fixed-term contracts or in hourly-paid roles. Colleges pay many below minimum wage in the UK, after accounting for preparation and marking. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
