#4MwinterSchool @lakens.bsky.social asks: Which research is valuable enough to do well? Which skills do you need to learn as a PhD student to do research well? How much time would you need to develop sufficient expertise in each skill?

Great history lesson from @lakens.bsky.social with the @psicostat.bsky.social group at the University of Padova. History is repeating itself, but we also get a little better after each crisis was the positive take away for me.

Inspiring work by @sajedehra.bsky.social et al. on identifying the various benefits of coordination in science, and providing a better language to talk about what coordination in science actually *is*. I personally long to one day be part of a truly coordinated research line.

Mark your calenders. The dates and topics of the upcoming workshops of the Paul Meehl Graduate School are announced. Stay tuned for more information paulmeehlschool.github.io/2025-02-10-s...

#preprint I recently shared papers online on scientific coordination that I’ve been working on over the past year with @lakens.bsky.social and Krist Vaesen. In "A Framework for Describing the Levels of Scientific Coordination," we clarified the concept of scientific coordination
