ESCIMate (escimate.app) is a small side project I've been working and has grown to something quite useful. Check it out, let me know if you have feedback. ESCIMate builds on idea of Statcheck, but goes further to calculate and check effect sizes and confidence intervals, and their many variants.
Congratulations to the project “ESCIMate website and ESCIcheck R package,” which received🏆2026 SIPS commendation! ESCIMate is a tool that checks whether a paper's reported statistics are internally consistent, helping to surface errors and supporting the credibility of the reported evidence.

Coming up with a post-hoc theory section when your results are weird:
Replicate everything? Interested in thoughts on this idea: shiny2.wzb.eu/ipi/replicate/ At @wzb.bsky.social we've been developing a protocol for replication files for empirical papers to: ✅be readable by machines ✅keep humans in the loop
Fascinating experiment: current AI systems lack creativity to reliably pursue research arxiv.org/abs/2607.27191 - poor judgment about the bar for publishable research - uncreative responses in research design - ineffective backtracking from dead ends - poor resource awareness - instruction drift
Can AI agents conduct open-ended AI research? Early evidence from two case studies
Forecasts of explosive AI progress hinge on AI agents automating AI research. But evidence on whether agents can carry out open-ended AI research is thin. Current evaluations either test agents on nar...

One of my pet peeves: People are obsessed with seeing/plotting error bars while also being confused about what they should represent. blog.genesmindsmachines.com/p/the-error-...
The error bar cargo cult
You don't need to understand error bars. You just need to draw them.

New blog post! Odds ratios are...a bit weird. Here I explain two problems (interpretation, non-collapsibility) and provide some simple recommendations for improved reporting. www.the100.ci/2026/07/30/r...
Reviewer notes: Odds ratios are really odd
When psychological researchers investigate binary outcomes, they routinely report odds ratios to quantify the strength of an effect or an association. This is quite understandable given that psycholog...

Of course we all know what would happen if this person wasn’t a white Christian, but also, this kind of proselytizing is not about converting or even delivering a message to anyone. It’s a self-aggrandizing act of domination. It’s an actual sin of vanity.
Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
„Diese internationale Steuerflucht trug erheblich zu der Verschärfung von Ungleichheiten, dem Anstieg der Staatsverschuldung und dem Triumph eines Ohnmachtsgefühls bei, dem Nährboden, auf dem gegenwärtige reaktionäre Bewegungen gediehen sind.“

“In our most detailed model, judge-level effects explained 61% of the total variance, whereas combined paper and journal-level effects accounted for only 7%.”

Folks!!! You can vote on various designs for the new euro banknotes and some of these look amazing. Also, we could make birb money happen!!!
The euro banknotes seem to get a new look, and the @ecb.europa.eu has hosted a survey, asking which desing is the preferred one. I really like the stork on the 50€ banknote. surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/banknote...
