Is there a way to "soft mute" accounts on Bluesky? Like, I don't want some users to COMPLETELY disappear from my feed, but I would like to adjust the ratio of content a bit. Right now, I see more of people who post/reply more, which is not a good metric. How do you guys optimize your feeds?

Whoever will get the job: I'm already interested in your work!

Another accidental head(), only saving the #rstats

Can we really measure replay in humans using MEG with current methods? In our most recent paper we simulated replay under realistic conditions via a novel hybrid approach with astonishing results. we're delighted that it has now been published @elife.bsky.social! elifesciences.org/articles/108...

Fully aware to be the 100th person to spam your feed with this, but: Are there papers on the discriminant validity of autism screenings (autism vs. German)? (rhetorical question) german.millermanschool.com PS: I got "both"

What's your repository-recommendation for sharing MEG data (300+ GB, GDPR-compliant)? Zenodo has a 100 GB limit unfortunately :(

Guys, guys, guys. Can you please stop dropping extremely cool stuff on April 1st? It makes me very anxious that I will get rickrolled or sth if I click on it. (To clarify: You won't get rickrolled with this one, you just receive an awesome Zotero plugin that checks for replications!)

This is why sharing data and code (and having both reviewed!) is important!

I have a decent amount of patience. I can complete any souls-like game with a smile on my face. But there are online proofing systems out there that just make me wanna punch a wall.

Remember to sign up for the Heidelberg Sumer School on Memory and Sleep! Don't sleep on it! (Don't make me come up with any more cringy wordplays.)

I have a joke about publication bias, but I keep it in my file drawer

Do researchers share their code upon request? Does running their orginal code on the original data produce the original results? We provide evidence in a new Royal Society Open Science publication. Studying more than 1,000 articles which use data from the European Social Survey, we find that... 🧵

Keep calm and be transparent: advice from scientists who retracted their papers www.nature.com/articles/d41... @elisabethbik.bsky.social

If you currently do not have a reproducible workflow where you can share data and code where possible, I expect you will soon not be able to publish in good journals. Beyond being best practice, journals will use this to identify papers written by AI. Plan a new project accordingly.

I preregister that this will be an amazing summer school - come and see for yourself ;-)

Job alert!! We're looking for a Postdoc and two RAs on a 3-year project examining the effects of smartphones on sleep and mental health in adolescents. Details below: RA: tinyurl.com/7h6zrz2k Postdoc: tinyurl.com/ykmsk757 Please repost :)

At #PuG2026 in Heidelberg you can look forward to 3 keynote lectures by Simone Shamay-Tsoory („Inter-brain coupling during empathic interactions“), @mschoenauer.bsky.social („The role of reactivation in forming long-term memories“) and @micahgallen.com („Toward Causality in Interoception Research“)!

Join my lab and collaborate with excellent scientists Magdalena Schlesinger or Anette Frank at University of Heidelberg! We offer topics on replay in humans and rodents or neurobiologically inspired AI, respectively. Deadline 31st March. Apply here: www.health-life-sciences.de/opportunitie...

How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation? #Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand: "Open R, run setwd() ..."

IF YOU CAN, REPLACE TABLE() WITH TABULATE() IN YOUR #rstats CODE! data <- sample(1:3, 100, replace = TRUE) microbenchmark::microbenchmark(table(data), tabulate(data), times = 10000) I'm almost angry at how much faster this is, and why I was today years old when I learned this 🤬 1/2

"Nagel" ist German for "nail", which is why this is the first GIF to pop up, once again reminding me how lucky I was to be able to assimilate my husband's last name.

I am very proud of my Bluesky feed, which combines magic Quarto plugins with "The Life of a Showgirl" references.

preprint alert 🚨 1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? In our recent study, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a hybrid simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇

It's bonkers that in academic science we spend hours obsessing over the wording of a paper, but often only one person has seen the code that produced the results! 2/N

🧠🌱 New preprint from the IGOR Sustainability project! "There is no research on a dead planet" How can we balance neuroscience, open science, and climate responsibility? 📄 Read our position paper on OSF: osf.io/preprints/osf/rju75_v1

Now online: The Science Barometer 2024! It shows long-term trends and makes it clear what citizens think about academic freedom in Germany. Citizens were asked about scenarios that could prevent scientists from speaking freely about their research. wissenschaft-im-dialog.de/ressourcen/#... #SciComm

Check out our preprint "Sleep Links Gist Abstraction to Veridical Memory"! osf.io/preprints/ps... Summary 🧵: Sleep benefits memory and it reorganizes it. It integrates new and pre-existing memories, and extracts gist across episodes. However, extracting gist might generate false memories. 1/10

Noch ein Monat Zeit, um sich auf den WissKomm-Preis zu bewerben! Auch geplante Projekte können gefördert werden, das ist also der perfekte Boost, um mit der WissKomm erstmalig durchzustarten ;-)

Best way to find a typo in a paper is to read the draft carefully 100 times, print it, mark it up, submit it, get it accepted, have copy editors review it, read it again, finalize it, get it published, and then proudly share it will all of your close colleagues

I have a lot of these fake signal update notes in my timeline ('Hidden "invite random journalist" button moved to avoid accidental traps'). And yes, I DO get the joke and think it's funny, but I wanted to point out that the ACTUAL signal update notes are funny as well. github.com/signalapp/Si...

Ich zitiere inhaltlich eine Mitarbeiterin einer weltweit agierenden Pharmafirma auf einer Doktorand*innenveranstaltung eines lebenswissenschaftlich ausgerichteten Instituts: Werdet euch frühzeitig klar, wohin ihr wollt. Langjährige Postdocs sind für uns wenig interessant, weil fehlqualifiziert.

An old, but great read about vectorization in R. www.noamross.net/archives/201...

Quiz: What will the following #rstats code do? iris %>% ggplot(aes(x = Species, y = Sepal.Width)) + geom_jitter(width = .25) + theme_classic() Jitter the points along ... a) ... the x-axis b) ... the y-axis c) ... both the x- and y-axis 🧵 for the solution! #ggplot2 #dataviz

One week left to submit individual contributions for this year's 50th Psychology and Brain (PuG) conference in Würzburg. We look forward to receiving abstract submissions for accepted symposia as well as poster contributions www.pug2025.org

R and RStudio are tied together so tightly that some people don't know they're separate, very different things. If you teach, please tell your students the difference between a programming language and an editor. And when you write papers, report the R version, and not (only) the RStudio version!

Print this out and put it on your pinboard! Most compact and at the same time clear and intuitive figure on possible associations between predictors and outcome (or variables). (source: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/..., by @dingdingpeng.the100.ci and @achatton.bsky.social)

Awesome postdoc opportunity Mannheim/Heidelberg! Option A: chose from the exiting projects proposed by us Option B: propose your own project --> get two years postdoc at Germany's oldest uni with some of the best neuroscience facilities in Europe! www.health-life-sciences.de/opportunitie...

I am very late to the party, but can we talk about the absolute LEGEND patchwork by @thomasp85.com?! I have two plots, one with a hidden y axis (it's the same for both plots). But the plot area will greedily take up the space freed up by the axis, so it appears larger in cowplot's plot_grid(). 1/4

This whole thread! Timelines in grant proposals are basically never accurate, and everyone knows. And since previous proposals are the yard stick for future project duration estimates ... Putting people into time management workshops won't fix this.

📺🎤 Video Release! We teach scientists how to track, organize and share their work using #VersionControl with #Git! I was interviewed about our course concept (German only, sorry)! 🧑‍🏫 Thanks to #DDLitLab @uni-hamburg.de for production + funding! 🙏 lecture2go.uni-hamburg.de/l2go/-/get/v...

Been teaching my students for years that they should never use T and F, because F <- TRUE. But I like this probabilistic approach even better! You'll never know when it hits you.

Graphic design-wise, I've found {patchwork} to be the best of the plot-combining packages because it actually keeps similar elements aligned across the multiple plots! #rstats #dataviz

I'll be teaching biopsych for the first time this autumn, based on the "Neuroscience - Exploring the Brain" book by Bear, Connors, & Paradiso. Does anybody have inspo in the form of slides, memes, videos, etc. that they're using to make their lecture less dry/intense?
