Was looking into what Cognitive Scientists mean by ‘domain-general’ cognition, and then hit upon this. This is definitely NOT how we use that term. Tip: read the last sentence to understand what went wrong here. Sigh.

Oups. 😄 It seems my close colleague forgot to cut my joke at the end of the sentence... And then not the editor, nor the people in charge of editing considered necessary to change it before publication! #SciencePublication #FunButSad #SadButTrue #FrenchAcademic

240,245 participants in a single study, not too bad. The effect size is modest, but ecological validity is high due to real-world implementation! #BehavioralScience #SocialPsychology #Megastudy #ClimateChange #ImplementationScience www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Ce fut une rencontre fort plaisante. Encore merci à tou•tes les communicant•es, au comité d'organisation et à toutes les personnes ayant assistées au CJC2025. A bientôt pour une prochaine rencontre de l'ADRIPS ! #ADRIPS #CJC2025 #Besançon

In France, only 3% of public spending goes to research — just €27B budgeted for 2025. Shockingly low for a country that prides itself on innovation. 🧪 Underfunded labs 🧠 Brain drain 🏫 Poor faculty conditions Investing in the future isn’t optional. #Research #Science #France #WhereGoesTaxes

Great having @protzko.bsky.social at the (big) Lab these past two weeks! Inspiring discussions and exciting ideas in #metascience. Thanks for the engaging talk at the #AtelierMMS (Methodology, MetaScience & Stats Lab Meeting). #UniversitéDeToulouse #UT2J

Our EIM model paper with Ben Aubert-Teillaud and Alex Bran "Expectation violation and cognitive dissonance theory" was among the top 10% most viewed in EJSP in 2023... Good for an 'august' paper ! 😏 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #CognitiveDissonance #FormalizedModel #SocialPsychology

How accurately do citations reflect the original research? Do authors truly engage with what they cite? In a new study, we analyze millions of citation sentence pairs to measure citation fidelity and how it varies depending on authors’ engagement with prior literature. arxiv.org/abs/2502.20581 ⬇️

Another time, other practices, other threats. Yet in this dark period, Merton's take on the norms of science remains strikingly contemporary, relevant and necessary! #ElonMusk #Science #Openscience #Metascience #academicsky law.unimelb.edu.au/__data/asset...

A meta-epistemological problem... In short, this resolves the replication crisis with an upper class problem, as understanding knowledge itself IS the problem! Happy Friday.

We talk a lot about predatory journals, but I just encountered my first PREDATORY PODCAST!🚨 www.scipod.global They reach out, set up a meeting, then—when you ask about their economic model—you realize they want £1000 for a 10-min recorded podcast. That’s here you run away. #PredatoryJournal #Scisky

Hoooops too bad. I won't change my practice concerning RR but I will delve into their registered report! I also think that finally, RRR are RR but I bet they are much more cited than any regular paper!

Roy Baumeister called ego depletion "one of the most replicable findings in social psychology." As someone who spent 20 years studying it—and ultimately had to admit it wasn't real—I have to respectfully disagree. Here's my perspective of what went so wrong.

Does the culture you grow up in shape the way you see the world? In a new Psych Review paper, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I tackle this centuries-old question using the Müller-Lyer illusion as a case study. Come think through one of history's mysteries with us🧵(1/13):

Is there a badge for Registered Reports? I couldn't find one on the COS initiative page (www.cos.io/initiatives/...), which is unfortunate. Last year, I created one for a talk I gave—perhaps it could be useful to others or inspire the creative ones? #AcademicSky #RegisteredReport #OSF

MetaRoR is a new platform for 'publications' about metascience with nice features making it closer to PCI-RR than classic journals. I wonder to what extend it will not generate more noise for the literature, but interesting anyway and good point to have a potential hub for metascience projects!

Perspectives on PsySci finally gets a new editor in chief. For memory, there was no editor for the last year(s!) due to Questionable Editor Practices from the previous team.

Metascience didn't really have a journal, or even a publication platform that provides peer review. So, we made one! We launch next week.
