Heard a colleague joke that there are two kinds of human subjects researchers — those interested in within-person effects and those who don’t do power analyses

I hope everyone caught this Lancet study confirming that Elon Musk & DOGE are responsible for genocidal levels of suffering & death.

Have you wanted to make your samples more diverse or your methods more inclusive, but felt unsure how to take steps in that direction? We've built a resource website (psychgrail.com) to help! The site identifies common research barriers and directs users to relevant resources to navigate them.

I’ve read this paper & it’s really thought provoking, I recommend reading it 💡

Liron Rozenkrantz@lironrozenkrantz.bsky.social · 3w ago

🔥🔥New paper alert! Super excited to share our paper, out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com, led by the wonderful Dr. Nofar Mizrachi! nature.com/articles/s41... To me, this finding fundamentally changes how we should think about the relationship between cognition and immune regulation:

The field has been far too restrictive of who we test in experiments for far too long! Generalisability is IMPROVED & signal gained rather than lost when we assess our constructs across ages, handedness, genders, backgrounds, etc So great that people are doing this kind of research!

Brock Kirwan@brockkirwan.com · 4w ago

In honor of International Left-Handers Day, we have an updated preprint on scanning left-handed participants in fMRI studies. Although they're 11% of the population, we routinely screen LH people out of fMRI studies due to concerns about functional lateralization 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is also a good reminder that scientific infrastructure is not free. Very easy to forget when the service *itself* is free.

Great thread, fun topic, brilliant scientist 👌

A question to the experimental psychologists out there: Is there a standardised way to measure effort spent on an experiment? As in, asking something like "how effortful was this task?" I'm sure there are a million problems with just asking that I'm not thinking about

Learning to play an instrument is great for the brain, right? I tried to play the mandoline and gained a top-notch reminder of how nociception works 😆

Some comfort if you feel you're under-achieving?!

A really interesting finding from this study was a dissociation between affect & motivation: Stress induction increased self-administration despite the drug not actually helping people cope with the stress: no improvement in positive or negative affect (vs placebo)

To new scientist parents: returning to work can be great. You may find yourself much better at prioritising. Work-life balance: I don’t think I ever put in more than 6 hours a day for the first few years & though I wasn’t fast, I was fine

First official day back at work in 8 months! Feeling so grateful I got to spend so much time with the little one, while the return to work for now feels equal parts exciting and intimidating 😅

All the details are in the thread, just wanted to say this is really cool work. @sirileknes.bsky.social discussed some her work for a @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social webinar which was fantastic as well ( youtu.be/rRQb2NhDs60?...) bsky.app/profile/siri...

Hey neuroscientists, do you have a story about a time when journalism has improved your science? If so, I'd love to include it in my next op-ed. 🧠

Data & materials from this study are shared on OSF: osf.io/3jvw8/overview We @cecivez.bsky.social also wrote a primer on the repeated stress induction setup we designed (inspired by @dsquintana.bsky.social's practice of publishing how-to-guides) Preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...
