Thanks, in part, to sustained APS advocacy, #NIH will no longer characterize basic experimental studies involving humans (BESH) as clinical trials. This reduces unnecessary burden and helps psychological and behavioral research move forward faster! www.psychologicalscience.org/policy/2026-...

Success! NIH Changes Clinical Trials Policy

On 29 January 2026, NIH announced that basic experimental studies involving humans will no longer be subject to NIH Clinical Trials Requirements.

This is absolutely wild, and super important. There are zillions of studies claiming that fMRI signals indicate increased brain activity, and it looks like that's often just wrong. If confirmed, this means we've misinterpreted a lot of research.

Magnus Johansson@pgmj.bsky.social · 7mo ago

"40 percent of MRI signals do not correspond to actual brain activity"; "Since tens of thousands of fMRI studies worldwide are based on this assumption, our results could lead to opposite interpretations in many of them.” www.tum.de/en/news-and-...

The entire document is so worthy of reading by a fire or with a cat on lap, or both, pausing frequently to ponder and thought-wander a bit, then continuing on. How I do it, anyways. Solid and compelling arguments crafted with expertise, precision, and measured passion.

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

Abstract: Under the banner of progress, products have been uncritically adopted or even imposed on users — in past centuries with tobacco and combustion engines, and in the 21st with social media. For these collective blunders, we now regret our involvement or apathy as scientists, and society struggles to put the genie back in the bottle. Currently, we are similarly entangled with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. For example, software updates are rolled out seamlessly and non-consensually, Microsoft Office is bundled with chatbots, and we, our students, and our employers have had no say, as it is not considered a valid position to reject AI technologies in our teaching and research. This is why in June 2025, we co-authored an Open Letter calling on our employers to reverse and rethink their stance on uncritically adopting AI technologies. In this position piece, we expound on why universities must take their role seriously toa) counter the technology industry’s marketing, hype, and harm; and to b) safeguard higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, and scientific integrity. We include pointers to relevant work to further inform our colleagues.
