Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place. Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

Our latest Coffee Lecture on Open Science Education is now available as a video: @flavioazevedo.bsky.social “Building the Future of Open Inclusive, Rigorous, and Open Research with FORRT”. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Csp...

📣We are excited to announce that FORRT is one of the few initiatives worldwide to be formally endorsed as a Programme of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD, 2024–2033)! 🎉

Minority Power "Marginalized groups develop sophisticated alternative conceptualizations of power as collective resistance, cultural preservation and mutual aid that enable transformation despite structural disadvantages." #SocialPsyc

"We show that most men express low-to-moderate levels of distinct dimensions of toxic masculinity including sexism, narcissism, and sexual prejudice. Only a small proportion of men displayed traditional forms of toxic masculinity." psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Critique argues post-publication peer review "often focuses on minor details" and "risks damaging trust in both the research itself and the peer review process" found to contain: - Hallucinated references - Undisclosed COIs (EiC is author) - 8/9 authors have retractions or related scandals

Now we wrote a piece about many things we always wanted to say about replications. How they are used, tracked and valued by the science community. And how we can evaluate their results, whatever those may be 🤔 Read the preprint 📃 osf.io/preprints/me... Browse the Hub 🌐 forrt.org/replication-...

It has been a while since @flavioazevedo.bsky.social asked me to take over the Reversals project at @forrt.bsky.social... It has since evolved beyond my wildest dreams, mostly thanks to @aufdroeseler.bsky.social & @lukaswallrich.bsky.social. We are very proud of the Replication Hub & Database ♥️

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

it is very difficult to convey to fledgling researchers that writing academic research involves a *recipe* not a *formula* formulas imply formal demands and requirements, but recipes are made to be broken, for ingredients to be swapped

"Multiple men have remained in senior roles at Oxford for months or years after allegations of sexual misconduct emerged against them, Bloomberg found in a nine-month investigation based on interviews with almost 50 people as well as documents and other records."

“Psychology needs epistemic, methodological, and epistemological pluralism to examine phenomena from different perspectives.” New article by @maddipow.bsky.social #MetaSci #OpenSci

It's publication day for our first paper out of the www.csinequality.org lab completed entirely at NU. To write it, we asked: what research in the social psychology of inequality do we like and why do we like it? The answer is this paper:

"Trump’s interference in the sciences is something new. It shares features with the science-damaging policies of Stalin and Hitler, says David Wootton, a historian of science. But in the English-speaking world, it has no precedent, he told me: “This is an unparalleled destruction from within.”

The EO has to be interpreted in light of the (decades long) Republican attack on science. This has nothing to do with improving science. They're using legitImate criticism from within science to (ironically) decrease the credibility of science. They then have no obligation to listen to scientists.
