This is one of those studies that I’m very glad was done and done well, and is also very fun to watch people be surprised by the results.

What matters most for childhood brain organization? We analyzed 649 variables. The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers. Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES. In Science today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It's now 4½ years since I first thought of writing it, and 3½ years since I actually started writing it, but today I finally got around to submitting the preprint. Say hello to SPIV. 🧵

SPIV analysis: A heuristic meta-method for detecting non-random patterns in study data Nicholas J. L. Brown, PhD Kyle Sheldrick, MD, PhD Ben W. Mol, MD, PhD Lyle C. Gurrin, PhD Please address correspondence to nicholasjlbrown@gmail.com. Abstract The increasing prevalence of open data is changing the ways in which forensic meta-science is done. Previously it was possible to infer what had or had not taken place only by examining its published summary statistics. Today meta-researchers wishing to reanalyse published results can also examine author-supplied individual participant data (IPD) to identify irregularities, either because they are directly published or because an editor has asked the authors to supply them. Here, we discuss some of the ways in which one might go about trying to detect anomalies in typical datasets in the biomedical or social sciences by examining the relationship between consecutive participant records within a dataset. We refer to these as “SPIV analyses”, where SPIV stands for Sequences in Purportedly Independent Values. SPIV is based on the principle that the data records for consecutive participants in a randomized study — and, potentially, some study designs that do not use randomisation — should be independent of each other for the great majority of measured variables. Using SPIV techniques, we can identify data that do not satisfy this condition, perhaps as a result of having been falsified or generated manually by unscrupulous researchers.

🚨 Our team has just published a Registered Report in BMC Medicine, one of the very few medical journals that offers this format (if we want better science, we should not follow journal impact factors, we should support journals with the best policies).

There is so much to be disappointed about in this story--from the institutional response to Miles Hewstone himself. We still have a lot of work to do to make academic environments inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive, and where harassers are held accountable.

This—on my former university, department, and advisor—is harrowing but required reading for all social psychologists. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Highly recommend this opportunity! I was on the steering committee about 5-6 years ago and it was incredibly rewarding! (P.S. where did the years go?? 😵‍💫)
