Opportunity for PhD's in the Netherlands (Dutch speaking): temporary job as research assistant on NWO's grant assessment system. This paid position would be a six-month break in your PhD after which you go back to finishing your PhD. Very interesting opportunity! More info: tinyurl.com/2fwz4xru

Are there studies on the relation between the replication crisis and the trust that (psychology) researchers have in their research and the research conducted in their field? Most papers I find focus on the trust of laypeople, but I am wondering about researchers themselves in the crisis' context

New academic year, new online journal club! 📖 October 6th 12:00-14:00 (CEST). This time we will discuss the paper by Bright (2021): 'Why do scientists lie?'. Are you an early-career academic, and want to join? You can sign up here: forms.gle/32ZNxQDkY5vy...

Monday I sent a survey pre-notification to potential participants I didn't expect so many to reply with interest to that email. Wishing me luck with my PhD and saying they will surely participate in my interesting study Good reminder that people can be so nice Hoping for a nice response rate too🤞

A new preregistration template for simulation studies is now live on OSF. Thanks to the creators and the preregistration template working group for proposing and shepherding this to make it available to users. See the post if you would like to propose a new template. www.cos.io/blog/introdu...

Join our online journal club meeting next Monday July 21st (12 - 14 CEST), and discuss a paper with fellow ECRs! This time, we will discuss the following paper: Romero, F. (2019). Philosophy of science and replicability crisis Sign up using this link: forms.gle/gRWf6SEyf2ki... See you there!

First time presenting at a big conference: check! So happy to see how the community of PYMS is growing over the last couple of days, and how people are constantly finding each other to hang out at #metascience2025. This is what PYMS is all about!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the interaction yesterday at the #metascience2025 panel on AI and more generally how I’ve felt about the conference and how I fit into the metascience community, and here’s a potentially useful analogy… 🌈 thread👇

I'll be presenting at the Metascience conference next week, who will I see there? 🙋‍♀️

What if you want to deviate from you preregistration but keep the label "confirmatory"? Cas Goos introduces multi-stage registration as a solution. Read all about it in the semi-new (I somehow missed a month of blogging?) blog post from the Meta-Research Center: metaresearch.nl/blog/2025/5/...

I wrote a blogpost on something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: how metascientists could (and should) think more about their users when designing tools and reforms. Would love to hear any thoughts on this topic! #metascience #usercentered

Yesterday was a great day! I met many new ECRs that love meta-research just as much as I do, and learned many new things Days like these give me so much energy to do the research I am doing! (Want to join PYMS? Hit me up!)

Today is the last day to sign up for the PYMS Summer Symposium! We're looking forward to the great contributions we have in our program and the large group of ECRs meeting in Tilburg on June 5th. Don't miss out! Sign up here: tinyurl.com/267b85mr Check out the abstracts here: tinyurl.com/muaa5dbd

Program finalized! We're very excited to announce our program for the PYMS Summer Symposium 2025. Check out the abstracts here: tinyurl.com/muaa5dbd Don't want to miss out? You can still sign up until the end of this week (23rd of May): forms.gle/yvgVBf8VKCFu...

An open letter supporting the international bachelor’s psychology programs threatened for cuts. Proceeding with these cuts would damage some of the most important and impactful psychology departments globally. #supportdutchpsychology openletter.earth/against-lang...

Interesting PhD vacancy at our department, which is a great place to work!

Excited for this meta-science filled day with fellow early-career researchers!

Can't wait for June 5th! Spending an entire day talking about meta-science with fellow young researchers is one of my favorite things to do Join us! The more the merrier 🚀

📢New blogpost for the Meta-Research Center, by our PhD student Iris Willigers. Her key point: we should be talking more about the measurement crisis in psychology. Validate your measures! #metascience #psychology #methodology #psychometrics #statistics #openscience metaresearch.nl/blog/2025/1/...
