“Women leave or consider leaving [faculty positions] because of workplace climate more often than work-life balance.” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty

Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.

Our first meta paper is out!! This paper combines our first 110 completed reproductions/replications. This is joint work with 350+ amazing coauthors. We summarize our findings below: econpapers.repec.org/paper/zbwi4r...

The minimally honest title here would be “leveraging climate change for neuroscience research”.

Jay Van Bavel, PhD@jayvanbavel.bsky.social · 3y ago

Our new paper outlines how neuroscience can be used to: (1) study the impact of climate change on the brain (2) identify ways to adapt (3) study the neural substrates of environmental decisions & outcomes (4) create better communication & interventions www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper in which we show that high quality test norms are achievable with convenience samples using Multilevel Regression and Poststratification (MRP)

Taym@taymalsalti.bsky.social · 3y ago

Here too for the X-boycotters: 1st 1st author manuscript, elated, etc. etc., let’s get to it: We need more high-quality norms in psychology and traditional sampling and norming techniques won’t get us there. MRP can help, though!

Mentions a bunch of the likely effects of LLMs on scientific manuscripts www.nature.com/articles/d41... #metascience

How ChatGPT and other AI tools could disrupt scientific publishing

A world of AI-assisted writing and reviewing might transform the nature of the scientific paper. A world of AI-assisted writing and reviewing might transform the nature of the scientific paper.
