Our core team members Massimiliano Pastore and Filippo Gambarota were thrilled to take part in the Behavioral Neuroscience Conference 2025 held in Agropoli, where they led a hands-on workshop on Bayesian stats with R and Open Science essentials 📖📊

Our team joined #Science4All to share how psychologists ensure their findings are valid and reliable! Through interactive games, kids and adults explored what makes good science tick 🧠🎯 #Psychology #ScienceCommunication

🚀 Kicking off the upcoming month with a fresh round of online talks! First up: Alessio Farcomeni 🎙 Join us next Friday, October 10 at 13pm (CEST), for "A brief introduction to quantile regression". Don’t miss it! 🔍📊

Proud to represent our group at AIP Sperimentale 2025! Great discussions, inspiring talks, and an amazing opportunity to share our work. #AIP #Research

Psicostat took part in the European Mathematical Psychology Group Meeting 2025 in Padova 🧠📊 Insightful contributions by Matteo Manente and @ialfarone.bsky.social featured in the Statistical Methods session, while our core team member Ottavia Epifania chaired the Psychometrics session! #EMPG

In this interview for the Italian Association of Psychology (AIP), we retrace Psicostat’s path: from early workshops to Winter & Summer Schools, up to the launch of the Methodological Review Board and beyond! 👉 Here’s the link to the full interview: aipass.org/psicostat-un...

I'm excited to share that the first paper of my PhD project is now published. In this paper, my coauthors, @lakens and Krist Vaesen, and I discuss a systematic approach from different stakeholders to improve coordination. You can read the paper at: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Il gruppo di ricerca Psicostat esprime il proprio cordoglio per la scomparsa del Professore Carlo Arrigo Umiltà, Honorary Member del gruppo e figura centrale nella nostra comunità scientifica. Alla sua famiglia e a chi gli ha voluto bene va il nostro affetto e la nostra vicinanza

Lively session on setting up the Methodological Review Board today! 🔎 After presenting the MRB and the April survey results, a roundtable took place with voices from all three departments in our School of Psychology. Thanks to everyone who joined and to @lakens.bsky.social for the closing remark!

Very excited to publicly share news about a new tool, Papercheck, that @debruine.bsky.social and me started to develop more than a year ago! In an introductory blog post, we explain our philosophy to automatically check scientific papers for best practices. daniellakens.blogspot.com/2025/06/intr...

#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👇

Our Replicability School just wrapped up after days of engaging sessions and a public lecture! 🎓 To top it off, Giovanni Parmigiani joined our Thursday HandZone, bringing his insightful perspective to the discussion - can’t wait for next year’s edition!

Flash of Genius | Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/news-and-ide...

📢 Starting from Monday, our School has been diving into the 3Rs of science: Replication, Robustness, Reproducibility 🔁📊 Giovanni Parmigiani (Harvard), Branden Fitelson (Northeastern) & our core team member Filippo Gambarota bring unique perspectives from statistics, philosophy and methodology 💥

🚀 Our Replicability School kicked off Friday with a hands-on workshop by @marcald.bsky.social on practical tools for reproducible analyses 🔍📊 We also received warm greetings from two key figures for the week ahead, Giovanni Parmigiani (Harvard University) and Gianmarco Altoè 👋

Exciting days at the University of Trento for the BEYOND Summer School! 📊🧠 With international speakers and Psicostat members among the lecturers, participants are exploring statistical and AI methods to enhance psychological inference. A brilliant blend of insight and innovation!

Ever feel disappointed by a non-significant result? You should ask yourself: Could my study have even detected an effect that matters? A simple way to find out is by computing critical effect size values. doi.org/10.1177/2515... @psicostat.bsky.social @lakens.bsky.social

This is in my opinion one of the best papers I have written. It moved preregistration from 'let's do it because it is good' to 'let's do it when we have this philosophy of science'. It still provides the most coherent argument for why to adopt it in the metascientific literature.

It's important to be able to go beyond statistical folklore and yesterday Jelle Goeman reminded us of that! Visiting from Leiden University, he shared an insightful view on correcting for multiple testing within the Bayesian framework. A real pleasure to hear and exchange ideas!

Save the date for the 8th Perspectives on Scientific Error conference on 11, 12, and 13 Februari 2026 in Leiden, the Netherlands. perspectivesonscientificerror2026.wordpress.com This is an event not to miss, bringing together philosophers, statisticians, and metascientists.

We’re excited to share our April meeting! 🎉 Join us on April 4th for a talk with Simone Gastaldon on "Reanalyzing Published Science: The Power and Perils of Commentary Articles as an Early Career Researcher". 👥📢 Don’t miss our next meetings and subscribe to the mailing list!

Went bouldering with Noah van Dongen and @cjvanlissa.bsky.social. Noah got a Veni grant this year, Caspar a Vidi, and I received a Vici, so we had to make this picture 😊 We will also work together in our projects on improving theorising in psychology!

Huge shoutout to our very own core team member @ambra-perugini.bsky.social for smashing the Three Minute Thesis competition at the University of Padua! 🎤⏳ With an engaging summary of her PhD thesis, Ambra sparked curiosity about the Overlapping Index and how to uncover the full story in our data 👏

Very good start of the new @metaror.bsky.social journal, as the public peer reviews are as critical of @jamesheathers.bsky.social recent claim that 1 in 7 papers are fraud as I want my peer metascientists to be of such badly supported bold claims. Read the reviews here: metaror.org/kotahi/artic...

We have a nice journal club at PYMS in April. Check out the details here.

The goal of direct replication studies is first of all to identify Type 1 or Type 2 errors in the literature. This is an important part of having a reliable scientific knowledge base. lakens.github.io/statistical_...
