The new reality that is emerging in Texas is that certain topics or ideas are simply off the table in the classroom. The censorship of academic speech and entire fields of knowledge in service to an ideology poses an unprecedented danger to the future of higher education. #AcademicFreedom

Clinical override is common in actuarial risk assessment—but does it actually improve outcomes?   Findings show that when assessors alter predetermined offender risk levels, it decreases accuracy & reduces predictive validity. Read the full article here: tinyurl.com/5wey4dsf #psychlaw #lawpsych

NEW: In rare interviews, federal judges criticize Supreme Court's handling of Trump cases. “It is inexcusable,” a judge said of the Supreme Court justices. “They don’t have our backs.”

Teresa joined us in Jan 2025 and she has been doing a stellar job. Grateful to work with her.

APS Fellow @lewan.bsky.social & colleagues have recently developed the Anti-Autocracy Handbook, which they describe as “a call to action, resilience, and collective defense of democracy, truth, and academic freedom in the face of mounting authoritarianism.”

Excited and grateful to be working with these two bright and passionate PhD students. We took this pic at our department’s annual welcome BBQ at a beautiful park. ♥️ #CLJlab

Policies limiting immigration are often justified based on the idea that immigrants are more prone to violence. The evidence says otherwise. New research finds that immigrants in custody show lower criminogenic risk than U.S.-born citizens.   Read here: doi.org/10.1037/law0... #psychlaw #lawpsych

Does the Considering Offender Probability in Statements (COPS) Scale allow law enforcement to distinguish between guilty and innocent people placing 911 homicide calls? Research from the FBI BAU and Villanova University suggests it does not. Read a summary from the authors: bit.ly/3DgM3dL

This is a great graphic: all of the studies with a dot in the corner were conducted by the Geiers -- one of whom, David Geier, practiced medicine without a license

This article is absolutely fascinating. A must read for those in mental health or ai fields of how chatbots can support delusions via their excessive use of praise and tendency to follow users’ line of thinking Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/t...

Need to learn how to do simulation based power analysis for project planning and grants? In my last workshop for me for the summer, I teach folks how to use Mplus to do flexible power analysis for everything from regression to multilevel SEMs. Please RT! 🙏 1/ smart-workshops.com/mplus-power-...

Why did the New Mexico Supreme Court remove all competency proceeding from Metro Court? 🤔 Metro is the one and only lower court where judges are required to be lawyers. Might as well turn it into a magistrate court like the rest of the state if are going to take away any heightened responsibility

I'm curious what current practice is for other college instructors. For an upper-level lecture course, assigning 120 pages per week was probably my norm 25 years ago. I'm down to more like 80pp/week now.

👋 Hi everyone! Here's a quick introduction for my new followers! I study the social psychology of misinformation: why people believe false things, how identity and trust shape beliefs, and how to build resilience in a noisy, polarized world. I also just published my first book: Misguided!

Have you read a law review article recently that you thought was particularly great and deserving of a wider readership? If so, leave a link to it as a reply, together with a quick take on what made it great.

Interesting that they went with Stoicism here - it's the real test for that particular philosophical perspective after all

New post! "A Tale of Two Science Reform Movements," in which I compare the recent #Metascience2025 and #SIPS2025 conferences, and find that I am much more at home at one than the other. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-...

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

After two really enjoyable days at #Metascience2025, I wrote about how one 🌶️ moment encapsulated the controversy over metascience's issues 📑, inclusivity 🤗and future public value 🔮 #STS #AcademicSky All feedback welcome on here, or by email 😀 warrenpearce.pika.page/posts/what-i...

Inspired (partly) by ‪@jontreadway.bsky.social 's tweet thread, I have come up with a highly subjective and tentative map of different strands in metascience. It is intended as a starter to begin talking about what people (want to) include in metascience. #metascience2025

To a disquieting 250th birthday, America.

Celebrating Independence Day as MAGA autocracy is ascending? Two years ago, I wrote about the challenges of asserting a democratic patriotism that doesn’t entail an affirmation of American jingoism and visions of reactionary white Christian dominance. Now what, as the authoritarians rule?

Cognitive science too

Key takeaways from @davidvalenta.bsky.social • Al-assisted teams do not outperform human-only teams • Some Al-led teams successfully assessed #ComputationalReproducibility • Al is not reliable - a significant human component is still required #MetaScience2025

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 At 7:59am, Zeldin - Trump crony and head of EPA - received the Declaration of Dissent from EPA workers. Workers are uniting against political interference, censorship & rollbacks at EPA under Zeldin’s leadership. Someone’s week is off to a bad start. (1/5)

Here we go, kicking off #Sarmac2025 in the beautiful countryside outside of Dublin ☘️ Stay tuned for sporadic live skeeting of interesting talks on applied memory and cognition.

Here’s @lkfazio.bsky.social doing a discussion for a disinformation symposium at @sarmac2025.bsky.social. She talked about the attacks on science and education. Lisa is a leader in standing up for science. Here she is talking about what we can do. For the no kings day, from our conference overseas.

Players use a hurley to hit the sliotar (ball) either over the bar or under it (and into the net) for points. Here's a quick vid www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ-T... @sarmac2025.bsky.social

My first #SARMAC @sarmac2025.bsky.social in Kildare, Ireland was excellent. Thanks to the organizers, presenters, & hosts for a lovely experience! We learned some basic Hurley, heard new music (to us), drank Guinness in a snug bar, and caught up with friends from across the globe. So very grateful.

Made Black Forest baseball cake for kid bday. So much work, but I think they turned out good! I hope they taste good.

Midnight, June 7 is the deadline to comment on the revised Schedule F, Trump's plan to politicize the civil servants by converting them into at-will appointees that can be fired for the mildest pushback against illegal actions. It's easy - here is how: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/last-day-t...
