American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology should be ashamed.

Ivan Oransky, one of the experts who spoke with ProPublica for this story, said he has encountered other cases where journals failed to retract a study after a university made such a request. “You have a situation where the fox is guarding the henhouse,” he said.

Ah! I just opened up my Positron after updating and no longer have the `CMD + i` in-line Claude/LLM feature!! Made a comment on a GitHub issue, but also wonder if any other #rstats users were upset to see this removed! (Or is there a hidden switch I need to flip to see that) @posit.co

Should have posted a few days ago, but if you're free RIGHT NOW (13:00 EST) and want to hear about how to deploy tidyverse and scikit-learn models in a SQL database, check out our #rstats event here www.meetup.com/maine-r-user...

Where are all the #musicscience people posting on here these days? Was at SMPC last week and think enough time has passed that I can get back into it without it distracting from having to do a bit of a career pivot.

Just voted for the new @musicperception.bsky.social board. Though I think most of the candidates will do good things for the society, I was a bit disappointed that so few of the bios listed what they would specifically DO during their term. Yes, great to be more inclusive, but how? C'mon now.

If someone you know buys into claims about "genetic optimization" of embryos using polygenic scores of cognition, just send them our 2024 paper on Beethoven & musicality. We wrote it to help communicate limits of individual-level genetic predictions & complexity of links between DNA & behaviour. 🧪👇

Notes from Beethoven’s genome

Wesseldijk et al. compare the genomic information collected from Ludwig van Beethoven with population-based datasets used to quantify musical achievement.

Hit a major milestone today on a client project this morning and now finding it difficult to muster the energy to now start on the next thing.

I only restart my computer for spiritual reasons.

I think one of the the hardest things I've had to get used to with running freelance data consultancy the past year is to not just continually work throughout the day. I just can't context switch quickly and any attempt to do that always results in burnout.

I keep seeing posts saying we need a new word for people who use Chat-GPT for everything: why not Chatlatan?

I never worked with David Huron, but he had a tremendous impact on my life in the world of #musicscience. Wrote this for others in the music cognition community who want to share in his memory. davidjohnbaker.rbind.io/post/2025-06...

Whenever I drive to Bangor, sometimes all I can think about is that I am rapidly getting closer and closer to @stephenking.bsky.social

Put this in a textbook

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

I can tell it's the end of the year because my body is collapsing, I am getting the end of year cold, and I am finally sleeping for extended periods of time.

Setting up all the infrastructure to run your own business only makes it more apparent that business owners who complain about raising the minimum wage really just should not be in business. I would love to hire people to do work I don't want to do, but you know what, I can't afford that so I won't.

I'm proud to announce a new textbook for #musicscience titled "Music and Science: A Guide to Empirical Research". It covers methods in music psychology, empirical research, #openresearch & music computation in 298 pages. For details, see doi.org/10.4324/9781.... Codes at tuomaseerola.github.io/emr/

Almost finding blue sky to be too much at the moment given the huge influx. Happy to see everyone here, but damn, could easily start losing a lot of time here if I'm not careful.

Always enjoy voting for the new SMPC board #musicscience

Great to see such an uptick in people finally joining bluesky. Wish I had more to say at the moment in the #musicscience space or anything else, especially with so many people now forming a critical mass.

Hello, Bluesky! I'm hoping to make the transition from X. It's a bit daunting to think of building a new community here, but it's time. In my next few posts I’ll share examples of content related to my interests: #SonicStrategy #MusicScience #SonicDiversity #SonicBranding #BehavioralScience

Still looking for someone to help me with this dumb custom feed I set up a year or so ago. I patch worked it together, am not a web dev, and would be happy to pay someone to fix this issue at this point because it's such a headache. Any devs out there used to working with custom feeds, please dm me.

Just participated in my first ranked vote, early election since coming back to the USA. Crazy that it's not this easy to vote and pick candidates that align with your values in the other 49 states.

Just spent more money than I care to admit on an ergonomic keyboard. Fingers crossed this is money well spent towards long term health.

Exactly what Big Meeting wants you to think

Thank you to everyone reaching out today on account of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It's difficult to balance my work in chemistry, past life as a jazz pedagogue, and responsibilities as the veterinarian for LSU's live tiger.

What a week. Thought I'd be low key working on a few lingering projects but have spent the past two days recovering from Tuesday night food poisoning. So much for my first 4th of July in the USA in maybe 6 years.
