For those looking for alternatives to OSF, I recommend two resources comparing features of other Generalist Repositories. Resources are from GREI, an NIH funded initiative. Comparison tool to help you pick which one you like best: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... Decision tree:  doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

OSF will continue to support study planning and preregistration, as well as community-run preprint services. Our overview explains what's changing, what will continue, key dates, & where to find detailed guidance. We've also shared why these changes are necessary. (🧵2/2)

I'm excited to announce that I will be reviewing graduate student applications for Fall 2027 admissions! I review applications in both the Personality, Development, and Health and the Clinical Science (Weinberg) programs.

I’m recruiting two new PhD students to start in 2027, working with me on my program of research in quantitative psychopathology. I’ve put some information for interested students on my website: miriamkforbes.academic.ws Please share with anyone you know who might be interested!

New post! "Making Sense of Replications (and Some Nonsense about the Replication Crisis)," in which I suggest a journal club reading list of new papers on replication, and push back on claims that the replication crisis is fake. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/making-sen...

Making Sense of Replications (and Some Nonsense about the Replication Crisis)

It’s hard to overstate just how much the culture around replication in science has changed over the past 15 years.

The NYU department of psychology is also reinstating the GRE as a requirement for PHD admissions. I heard Yale and Harvard are as well. Now Penn too. If you are applying to psych PHD programs this year be sure to take the exam.

It's hard enough to keep up with the destruction of universities locally. Especially when the dial is set to full-on demolition. But really this is a global, or at least pan-Western crisis. Reaction, inequality, elite failure, AI delusion – a perfect storm for which we seem totally ill-prepared. 1/4

I had Opus 4.8 in Claude Code write a sophisticated, if minor, academic paper from a archive of hundreds of de-identified research files from years ago I had to use GPT-5.5 Pro as a reviewer, it spotted one major error & some minor points. Opus corrected them. embeddedness-gradient.netlify.app

Experience as a journal editor does not preclude impatiently waiting for a recently submitted manuscript to get assigned or desk rejected. Because THAT editor should be managing their queue 24/7, amirite?

A study in @nature.com shows that while complex traits are polygenic in population at large, they have distinct architecture at tails, where rare variants of large effect act as key drivers. Not a surprising finding but neat to see it demonstrated in large UK Biobank cohort across traits & methods.🧪

absolutely wild to see people out here saying that it is responsibility of peer reviewers to check for hallucinated references. it is hard enough to persuade people to read articles and provide reviews. expecting them to spend hours cross reffing literature is unreal.

Still a few days to apply!

2. We push back against the idea that reform must wait for broad stakeholder buy-in and cultural alignment. We use smoking as an analogy. Smoking rates did not decline primarily because smokers were persuaded. They declined because smoking became more costly, inconvenient, and denormalized. 6/8

We also argue that treating Open Science as merely one more “content area” to squeeze into graduate curricula is a category mistake. Transparency is to science what food safety is to culinary training: foundational hygiene, not an elective specialization. 5/8
