I’ve been thinking about making a public lab notebook. Idea is a sort of working (but publicly saved) preregistration for active projects Is anyone doing something like this? And recommendations for where to host it?

For #TidyTuesday Week 3 (The History of Himalayan Mountain Expeditions), I chose to make a bar chart for the top 15 countries, based on number of claimed expeditions completed I found this a good excuse to learn how to add country flags to a chart (as well as learn about the "countrycode" package)

ERROR is our scientific bug-bounty program. We pay reviewers and authors of impactful published articles to do a deep dive on results, data, code, etc to check for errors. Our second report of 2025 (and my first acting as Recommender for the review) is out now!

Excited to announce our second report of 2025! Fernbach et al. (2019) "Extreme opponents of genetically modified foods know the least but think they know the most". Based on the review by R Chris Fraley, we find Minor Errors which do not affect core conclusions. error.reviews/reviews/fern...

Alright it's here! Where we push back against the exploratory-confirmatory distinction that's become canonized in metascience and talk about what we think exploratory research (including exploratory experimentation and modeling) means and why our view is incompatible with 'unplanned data analyses'.

Just a little amuse-bouche for now but @ufeest.bsky.social and I about to finalize revising a paper on exploratory research, and I really love it. I believe we're making a much needed, thoughtful, and clear contribution while challenging some of the science reform notions of exploration.

Lot of cool books continuing to come out for those interested in the history and ideas of logical empiricism. Among them: Alan Richardsons' Logical Empiricism as Scientific Philosophy, Sahotra Sarkar's The Vienna Circle: The Story of Logocal Empiricism, and Adam Tuboly's Otto Neurath in Britain.
