rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Extremely proud of this very thorough and informative Handbook for conducting both Replications and Reproductions! What an amazing team of experts and so much insight into one place! Go @forrt.bsky.social , go 🚀

At the FORRT Replication Hub, our mission is to support researchers who want to replicate previous findings. We have now published a big new component with which we want to fulfill this mission: An open access handbook for reproduction and replication studies: forrt.org/replication_...

“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.”

Join us for the exciting unconferences during #SIPS2025 in Budapest on June 25-27! We will be discussing #OpenScience, AI, replication studies, critical thinking, integrity, transparency, trust, community, peer review, public engagement, preprints, the future of SIPS, and more! #PsychSciSky

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.

A big inspiration for this work were comments from community members *at this very conference* about how they felt stigmatized by sexual health researchers 🧵 [1/7]

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

I know there's bigger issues right now, but @cos.io changed how pre-prints are stored / indexed on their servers. Each new update now adds "_v{#}" to the end of the DOI, which helps with tracking (i guess?), but by doing so, all *older* versions of the pre-prints disappeared.

Now published in @royalsocietypublishing.org #openscience #reproducibility #metascience #sociology #politicalscience royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

We crowdsourced 85 teams to indep. computationally reproduce results from a single study in randomized conditions. Reproducibility: • depends heavily on the transparency of materials • high (~95%) for same sign/sig, but low (btw. 48-77% depending on transparency) when requiring within 0.1 effects

"through coordinated efforts between researchers, institutions, funders, journals, organizations and stakeholders, open research can lead to a more credible and useful research landscape, as well as a more inclusive, representative and diverse research culture"

And I'm out. I'm on the RIF list, as are many others at the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). It was truly an honor to work as a civil servant at IES on education research, a topic I care deeply about! Here's to the next fight and to rebuilding what has been destroyed.

Day 1 of the national strikes against cuts in higher education and research 🟥 First op Leiden 💪🏽 @woinactie.bsky.social Students and parents: now is the time to fight for your, your kids’ and future generations’ education.

Defunding the world’s leading scientific community is akin to a performing a prefrontal lobotomy on the nation—you are effectively severing the connections between the most innovative ideas and its citizens. Cutting support for science harms everyone! www.powerofusnewsletter.com/p/a-national...

I will print this out, laminate it, and then laminate it again for extra sturdiness. And I will slap everyone with it who still says 'fascist' is an exaggeration for the Trump regime.

I just sent an email to APS to ask about their actions to fight back against Trump's war on science. I let you know about the response. Maybe you can also write to them. @psychscience.bsky.social

Again, elections happen under competitive authoritarianism. What doesn’t happen is legal accountability for criminals allied with the government, or elections that are fully free & fair. We already don’t have those. If the claim is we’re still going to be a full democracy in 2026/8, I have bad news.

So many great scholars! But particular hurrahs for @flavioazevedo.bsky.social and @chrispetsko.bsky.social because they're my peeps.

When DEI is under attack, we must ask who gets left out? I grew up in Brazil, from humble roots, neurodivergent, and only made it to academia through an inclusivity program. Without DEI, people like me wouldn’t get a chance. Academia and society weren’t built for us—but we’re here, and we belong.

Folks, the future plays out according to my PhD social psych syllabus. Just as we're set to discuss @flavioazevedo.bsky.social's paper on neoliberalism (Azevedo et al., 2019) I learn that the Post would rather opine on "personal liberties and free markets": www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/b...

Noticed a few mutuals following the fake Flavio (with two o’s). The real one is @flavioazevedo.bsky.social please report the fake account so bluesky @bsky.app acts

Welp? I am not quite sure how to deal with this 'impersonation' issue 🥸 I don't see anything particularly worrisome regarding this account's activities/replies/etc., but I can see how this can become a problem if the account is DMing folks. Im at a loss here given I am no one 🤷 Is this common?

Preprints that are openly licensed eg CC-BY or CC0, are openly licensed. Entities can challenge whether licensing was appropriate, but we will not just remove properly licensed content. COS will follow the law, and is willing to participate in legal challenges when the law and our mission conflict.

I mean if I’m going to take a social science approach to this, my argument would be that opposition to DEI has nothing to do with “no evidence for what works” and is just a convenient excuse for racists
