Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉 As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Our new study characterizes 25C-NBF as a selective 5-HT2A agonist with psychoplastogenic and rapid antidepressant-like effects in rodents. So excited to see this work published in Molecular Psychiatry! Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

💯 agree with this and their conclusions 👇

If funders wanted to make a huge positive impact on scientific practice, they would mandate that all publications appear first as registered reports, that APCs are only paid for RRs, and that grant applications only require preliminary data for RR sample size determination / power analysis.

Mark is so right about this.

🚨 Please RT! We’re recruiting a motivated postdoc to dissect the neurocircuits of affective pain. Expertise in behavioral models of pain/SUDs, stereotaxy, microscopy, opto/chemogenetics, or fiber photometry encouraged. Apply 👉 recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10647 #Neuroscience #Postdoc

This one's on my list for this year: press.princeton.edu/books/paperb...

Everything would be much simpler/cheaper/efficient if scientists could apply for funding by just sending their CV to the funder. If the funder likes what's on the CV, they send money. Instead of progress reports, the scientist just sends an updated CV, and the funder can decide whether to give more.

Bravo le comité Nobel pour ce choix Ô combien pacifique 👏 Mais quel aveuglement, quel égarement! 2/2

This is amazing and moves scientific publishing into the modern age in a MAJOR way. @qedscience.bsky.social by @odedrechavi.bsky.social and team, and planyourscience.com by @kordinglab.bsky.social, are my gamechanging life-hack recommendations for all scientists!

Really interesting work by Bakhurin and colleagues challenging the reward prediction error hypothesis of dopamine: www.nature.com/articles/s41... I love this figure which both echoes and undermines the famous figure from Schultz et al. (1997).

Really excited to have this paper accepted for publication now in @natcomms.nature.com - stay tuned for the final version and huge congrats to @margestelzner.bsky.social!!!!

Another absolutely astounding "gem" in the compact: abolish units that "belittle" conservative ideas -- while doing it in the name of an "intellectually open campus" 😮‼️ 😂 Amazing! apparently no sense of irony (or consistency) whatsoever! 😂 Also completely incompatible with First Amendment.

Sarò ingenuo io ma sono sempre stato dell'idea che se uno è contrario alla violenza, alla crudeltà e alle ingiustizie allora dovrebbe esserlo sempre, non selettivamente per simpatia o quando gli fa più comodo per suoi interessi personali. Altrimenti è pura ideologia, faziosità e ipocrisia.🤷🏻‍♂️

Rest in peace Jane Goodall, a true giant among scientists. Your breakthroughs into the secret lives of chimpanzees viewed through an anthropomorphic lens – without yet knowing that science had forbidden it – changed science forever, and with it how we see ourselves.

Un travail extrêmement impressionnant d'une équipe de l'IPP sur la taxation des très hauts revenus. Il y a plein de choses à en tirer, mais cela (re)confirme que les ménages extrêmement fortunés contournent l'imposition individuelle sur le revenu en se servant des sociétés qu'ils contrôlent.

Amazing session at #EBPS2025 on sex differences in SUD, mood, & AD. @christinadalla.bsky.social organized a great group.

Congratulations @peppeganga.bsky.social !

This article is truly impressive, both for the significance of its findings and the enormous amount of work it represents! Briefly, it demonstrates that the gut-brain vagal axis exerts a considerable influence on dopamine-dependent reward-related processes... 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

He’s going to spend 25% of his life to live 10% longer, isn’t he? We need to teach opportunity cost more in our schools.

How does the brain decide? 🧠 Our new @nature.com paper shows that neural activity switches from an 'evidence gathering' to a 'commitment' state at a precise moment we call nTc. After nTc, new evidence is ignored, revealing a neural marker for the instant when the mind is made up. rdcu.be/eGUrv

Drummond Rennie (1936-2025), in his own words Rennie, who died on September 12, was a towering figure in scientific publishing, known for promoting improved standards in medical journals, and for organizing the first Peer Review Congress, held in 1989, and every four years since.

For a reasonable person, it is hard to imagine how racist are the views of Elon Musk. In his view immigrants cause "rape and murder and the destruction of the country and dissolution of the entire way of life". His words are disgusting. www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/elon...

@ualberta.bsky.social’s Richard Sutton won the Turing Award — the Nobel Prize of computer science. 🧠💻 His work shapes how AI systems learn and reason — powering tools like chatbots — but he reminds us that AI is about “understanding humanity.” A big win for ethical, Canadian-led research.
