Only with the too much publishing, but not with the need to have more research on many topics that we don't understand fully.

One thing I struggle with is the fact that we seem to publish way too much as a field, and yet there are so many things that are left unexplored. Or things that need to be tested for generalizability and robustness. Not sure entirely sure how to balance these competing demands.

Many congrats and thanks to @renemottus.bsky.social for planning and executing a marvelous European Conference on Personality this past week Edinburgh didn’t disappoint, and I got to do a biennial stadtbummel with two of my favorite people and collaborators: Aleksandra Kaurin and Whitney Ringwald

Don’t think this stops at the DOE. It’s undoubtedly true at the NIH too. I’ve heard colleagues in red states sheepishly tell me so.
NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
One month out! If you are looking to learn a thing or two about analyzing meta-analytic data, come join us before the semester kicks off 🎒
Hey folks, I will be offering my SMaRT workshop on quant methods for meta-analysis in August this year (Aug. 10-11; smart-workshops.com/meta-info). There is some more info on the website and in the post below, but feel free to shoot me a message/email with any questions!

This looks awesome, @aidangcw.bsky.social ! So important. Agree it is deeper than just method. Ontological process. Can't wait to read it! thank you

Have trouble sleeping or know someone who does? Here's a webinar that covers typical sleep patterns, when a sleep problem becomes insomnia, and what treatments work. Sign up or share with someone who might need it. Info in the attached pics.
Exciting day. My set-theoretic reconceptualization of the DSM (w/ MDD, GAD, and PTSD as empirical examples) is out today in JPCS, along with four invited commentaries and my response. I'm biased, but I recommend all six papers. I was really jazzed by all four commentaries. 1/25
Next week I'm teaching a workshop on Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling (MSEM) using Mplus. The focus is on helping researchers use MSEM to move beyond the limitations of multilevel models and structural equation models. Registration: smart-workshops.com/msem-info More info 👇 1/

Interested in scalable, generalizable idiographic/person-specific analyses? This is your chance to learn the method from the one, the only, the originator: Katie Gates!!
GIMME workshop starts Monday!!! Very excited for this year's updates. There are a few spots left.
Today all my psyarxiv preprints, even those uploaded by coauthors, are unavailable - treated as “spam” Retaliation for last night’s ranting? One has to wonder… What’s up @osf.bsky.social ?
Creative scientist solution to all problems: more donated labor.
scientists complaining about moderated submissions to volunteer-run services should consider volunteering for said services, thereby reducing the moderation queue and increasing the speed of preprinting
Is there any alternative preprint server for psychological research that isn’t that wretched psyarxiv? Why does it suck so bad?

As many have pointed out, open science methods don't make research strong. But I think they function like nutrition labels--they let you see what's in the study and decide whether you want to consume it. Some will still be happy with a diet of junk, but others will demand healthier evidence.
We investigated the @hitop-system.bsky.social Brief Report (HiTOP-BR) in two German samples. Although there is room for improvement in certain areas, the HiTOP-BR provides a time-efficient and psychometrically acceptable assessment of the 6 HiTOP spectra. doi.org/10.31234/osf...
