Hi all! Anybody know of recentish data on researcher perceptions of open science practices that ask questions like, "I think it's good for the field when studies are preregistered"? I found Houtkoop et al (2018) on data sharing, but am hoping for data on other practices and more recent!

Our lab (w/ @patrickgbissett) is hiring a full-time research coordinator to work with us on cognitive control, dense fMRI, computational modeling, and human-AI interaction. Designed for post-bacs looking to start a Ph. D in ~2 years. Please repost. phxc1b.rfer.us/STANFORDNLbWAG

Postdoc available! There are two T32 positions at Minnesota focusing on developmental psychopathology, with a large selection of potential mentors. I could serve as primary mentor for someone interested in intersections with metascience and/or diversity. Apply now! drive.google.com/file/d/18SoO...

The fact that everyone who sees a picture of Hermann Rorschach thinks it’s Brad Pitt is a level 2 irony

Just out—a piece I wrote a piece for the APS Observer (@psychscience.bsky.social) in which I share recommendations and resources for running a research lab at a small, liberal arts college. I hope it helps others in the same boat! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Psychology folks! I'm trying to identify broad principles of Psychology that describe phenomena in multiple subdisciplines. For example "Psychological phenomena have physiological correlates" or "Information processing is optimized for the training data." Would be delighted for suggestions!

Hi all! I'm on sabbatical this year and have bandwidth to zoom into lab meetings to talk about open science in cog psych and speech research and/or how to implement practices that reduce research errors! (www.carleton.edu/perception-l...). Email me if that sounds fun to you too!

Can large language models stand in for human participants? Many social scientists seem to think so, and are already using "silicon samples" in research. One problem: depending on the analytic decisions made, you can basically get these samples to show any effect you want. THREAD 🧵

The threat of analytic flexibility in using large language models to simulate human data: A call to attention

Psychological Methods invites early-career psychologists to apply to be a 2026 Editorial Fellow. This year kicked off our EF program -- it was enriching for the EFs and rewarding for everyone involved. Let's do it again! For details: www.apa.org/pubs/journal... @apajournals.bsky.social

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

What does it mean for objects to be a color? Turns out it’s a super hard question to answer! In my TEDx talk, I discuss the science (and wonder!!) of color perception, including bird vision, #TheDress, and how there aren’t “right” answers about what we perceive. youtu.be/gc9ydhNgt6U?...

Another fun event at @carleton.edu last night! A multidisciplinary analysis of whether Severance is possible, featuring neuroscience (Julie Neiworth), cognitive psychology (me), and philosophy (Jason Decker)! Take home: it’s complicated. But real fun to think through.

New episode alert! www.juiceandsqueeze.net/51 in which @juliafstrand.bsky.social and @jpeelle.bsky.social talk about toeing the line of sharing personal stuff in professional contexts.

How much of our selves do we share professionally?

Julia and Jonathan tackle questions around authenticity and navigating all the different relationships we have in our professional lives. What do we choose to share with whom? And how? Being honest is...

I started a new thing at Carleton College! It highlights the breadth of a liberal arts education, reminds students that faculty don't know EVERYTHING, and is loads of fun! In "Guess Lectures," faculty give 7-minute talks using someone else’s slides from an unrelated discipline, sight unseen.

During April 2020 (aka the toilet paper and Tiger King era of lockdown), @naseemdh.com, @violetsarebrown.bsky.social, @juliafstrand.bsky.social, and I decided to submit a registered report for an in-person project. 5 years and 1 in-principle acceptance later, we have submitted Stage 2!!

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

Rebekah Tromble@rebekahtromble.bsky.social · last yr.

NSF has posted an “update on priorities.” They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants. And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent. www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

New post! Should we hold back criticisms of scientific practices for fear that they will be weaponized by political attacks on science? Absolutely not. We need to recognize the distinction between scientific arguments and ideological arguments. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/science-re...
