Strikes are beginning, because the cuts are dire. This story has many twists and turns, but in short, Dutch universities are proposing to sacrifice certain programs like our Psychology BSc in English to hope to appease the nationalist government. This isn't done yet. www.folia.nl/en/actueel/1...

What feature(s) do you miss in JASP? What should we add? How may we improve your analyses and user experience?

Suppose you generated a sequence of 100 random numbers. Then one year later, you did it again. Do you think we could predict one sequence from the other? It turns out, we can! Now in press @ JEP:G with @samiyousif.bsky.social @actlab.bsky.social @robbrutledge.bsky.social; osf.io/preprints/ps...

Calling all #psych researchers!📢 We’re conducting a quick survey on #preregistration & would love your input on what features an ideal prereg platform should have. We will use your feedback to improve @zpid.bsky.social's service PreReg! Thanks!✨ Link: www.soscisurvey.de/zpid-prereg/ #OpenScience

The stories behind out research are mostly hidden, since they are typically not part of the papers we write. Could we include these creative background stories in a section of the research paper format, maybe just as online supplements? What do you think? open.substack.com/pub/matthias...

Been seven years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.

I thought I was great at this. I wasn't. 5jqdmjxdwavv.trickle.host

Postdoc and doctoral student positions in developing Bayesian methods! The positions are funded by Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence FCAI and there are many other topics, too, but if you specify me as the preferred supervisor then it's going to be Bayesian. fcai.fi/winter-2025-...

I’m shamelessly plugging an app that I do research on and fully believe in. I’ve been using one-sec.app myself for a year now and it’s effectively decreased my Instagram openings by 94%. Just look at that beautiful plot😍

There are now 24 step-by-step guides, explaining how to create these ⬇️ data visualizations with R/ggplot2 - I hope this is a useful resource. Find them all here: joachimgoedhart.github.io/DataViz-prot...

What's the moment of luck that's had the biggest impact for your academic career? For me, it was how I wouldn't have gotten a PhD fellowship if it wasn't for the 1st-ranked person declining, which meant that I was awarded the fellowship as 2nd-ranked applicant. That was my last shot at a PhD.

The new JASP (@jaspstats.bsky.social) version containing the updated Meta-Analysis module and many other improvements is out now!

Rumor has it we are now working on JASP 1.0 and it will bring a key feature.

We're looking at perfume data for #TidyTuesday this week - focusing on the most common scents! 🟣 Circles arranged with {packcircles} 📊 Plotting with #ggplot2 and {ggforce} 📷 Image added with {ggimage} Code: https://buff.ly/4f653bT #RStats #DataViz

We often mind-wander about our past, present, & future. What happens when our minds drift towards our bodies? In a new fMRI study (n ~ 500), @leahbanellis.bsky.social + team discovers unique neural, affective, & physiological correlates of "body-wandering" at rest. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

/4 Why build a German speaking bot network if they don't post strong opinions (yet)? While this is largely speculation, one should consider that Germany holds elections soon! By growing reach now, such an AI network will then be able to significantly steer what people see on Bsky! See #romania.

the fact that we have "serious" convos about whether billionaires are okay suggests public consciousness that is totally divorced from the 1) actual scale of private wealth accumulation 2) its political implications. helpful data visualization: eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-weal...

“Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme” 👏👏👏

The Lichess database of games, puzzles, and engine evaluations is now on @hf.co - https://huggingface.co/Lichess. Billions of chess data points to download, query, and stream and we're excited to see what you'll build with it! ♟️ 🤗

If you want to get better at naming files, there are tons of useful resources out there! I've compiled a few in the thread below!

Imagine a snail. Imagine 5 snails. Imagine a snail on a sail. Imagine something that isn’t a snail. now read a new pre-print: "Relations, Negations, & Numbers: Looking for Logic in Generative Text-to-Image Models" (by Conwell, Tawiah-Quashie, & me) arxiv.org/pdf/2411.17066

Massive away win for the little fella.

Thought I would share informational posts from the other place before I leave there completely. Back in 2019 I posted a reflection on applying for (and receiving) an #NSFCAREER award. Caveat: just my experience, but could be helpful rutherfordlab.wordpress.com/nsf-career-a... #GrantWriting #STEMEd
