#Multiverse analyses turn #uncertainty into #insight. At @manybabies.org , we walked through our #MB2 #Pupillometry multiverse: how labs can merge their analysis while celebrating diversity in methods, and why that’s a win for science 🌍✨ #CollaborativeScience 🎥 and ℹ️links below👇

In particular, check out Chapter 4 for some discussion of how open science enables the work of inclusive big teams (including @manybabies.org)!

The new National Academies report on the Science and Practice of Team Science is out today: nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/2904... I was very excited to be a part of this group in order to discuss the role of open science in team science.

Congrats to @melissafloresphd.bsky.social & Designated Campus Colleague @nscorralfrias.bsky.social (U of Arizona), awarded the ORCA Catalytic Award in collaboration with @abrir.bsky.social to advance DEI in open & big team science! Proud of our work: orcaopen.org/work/cap #OpenScience #ORCA #ABRIR

Proud to join other CDS Presidents in writing about challenging times for our science. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🚨4-5 new postdoc positions in language & cognition🚨 😇 One postdoc will work specifically with Eon-Suk Ko and I on the ManyBabies-AtHome project, focusing on infant word recognition in global, remote settings using collaborative, open science practices [https://shorturl.at/5l3tW]. @manybabies.org

Why do a multilab study? Robust evidence Credible evidence when using transparent open practices Large and diverse data set Highly valuable data for reuse Lowering the risk for any one researcher Exchanging methodological expertise and training Foster a collaborative culture

The platform I run, Children Helping Science, is supported almost entirely by US government science funding, both directly and in collaboration with CHS researchers. Here's the note we sent to users today - we need help gathering your stories and citations! Submit here: forms.gle/zFnzrVURntdZ...

📣 The Cognitive Development Society (CDS) is now on Bluesky! Please follow them @cogdevsoc.bsky.social for news about the 2026 conference in Montreal and more! cogdevsoc.org

Check out our last newsletter of 2024! Our wonderful network (684 contributors and counting!) made this an amazing year for ManyBabies. Click through for our '2024 recap in numbers' and more! #DevPsych #OpenScience #PsychSky

Had a great time joining Deon and Jenny to chat about some recent ManyBabies projects!

New episode! In it, we chat with Dr. Martin Zettersten (mzettersten.bsky.social) about a cool ManyBabies project assessing the reliability of infant directed speech! We also chat about his journey & his transition from postdoc to an assistant professor, among other things! itsinnate.fireside.fm/23

ManyBabies Demographics paper named an Editor’s Choice article! Congrats @lehersingh.bsky.social and team!!

APA allows editors to designate one manuscript from each issue for special recognition. Given the stellar work, this is one of the hardest & most challenging parts of the job. So, to finish up the calendar year, here are the 12 Editor's Choice Articles from 2024 in Developmental Psychology. 1/13

Happy to see our fellow big team science project, ManyPrimates, presented at #ASABWinter2024 @asab.org ! Join the Manys ;) 🐵🐶

Hello Bluesky! We are ManyGoats, an international network of goat scientists. Inspired by others like @manydogsproject.bsky.social @themanybirds.bsky.social, we aim to facilitate open, reproducible 🐐 behaviour & welfare science. How? By running multi-site behaviour studies worldwide! 🧵

Check out this thread from @mcxfrank.bsky.social with his personal thoughts/reflections on the ManyBabies4 paper that just came out. Lots to think about! 👇

Inspiring team science effort ⬇️

The Manybabies4 paper is out! Infants' Social Evaluation of Helpers and Hinderers: A Large-Scale, Multi-Lab, Coordinated Replication Study onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... 1000 babies tested in 37 labs; "Overall, 49.34% of infants preferred Helpers over Hinderers in the social condition"

🚨Publication Alert!🚨 The ManyBabies4 paper is out! 37 labs around the world tested over 1,000 babies in the largest investigation of infants' social evaluation to date. doi.org/10.1111/desc...

Also: Irene de la Cruz-Pavía presented work on artificial grammars, “ManyBabies3NIRS: A multi-lab replication study of infants' and adults' neural responses to repetition-based regularities using NIRS”: Recording here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Nb... @manybabies.org

Some relevant news from the recently held @btscon.bsky.social: Yuto Ozaki presented a talk titled: “Global collaboration in exploring cross-cultural acoustic regularities between music and spoken language”. See the recording below 📼 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKdl...

Zotero is great and I think that anyone who needs to organise and cite more than a handful of references should be using it. Here's an intro to Zotero that I made for my undergrad students (but the info is relevant for anyone new to Zotero). Full vid [13 mins]: youtu.be/SlUHjOqVCyU Preview ⬇️

To celebrate deleting my twitter, I'm reposting some of my classic cognitive development memes from the other site. First, one of my all-time faves

They all have been added to the BTS Orgs/groups starter pack! go.bsky.app/Uf93G7F

We’ve made a big team science leaders starter pack! Please let me know if you want to be added or know someone who should be! go.bsky.app/PdvS9kC

NSF makes you say who you got conflicts (coauthored) with. We (really just Jordan Matelsky) just built you a tool for that. Literally one click: bib.experiments.kordinglab.com/nsf-coa

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃 We want to see MANY BABIES (or pets or non-baby children or you) in costumes! Let's make this a thread worthy of a @darthbluesky.bsky.social repost :) #PsychSciSky #DevPsySky #AcademicSky
