Minimize survival bias, you must.

Just read this: "Respondents aged 70+ were excluded to minimise survival bias, following Yoda (2018)." Always remember to screen your data for 900 year old outliers.

What happens when researchers coordinate instead of compete? Our recent Nature World View article reflects on the experience of the Netherlands Metascience Coalition and what it might mean for the way we organize research. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Don’t compete, collaborate: why collective funding applications are the future

Scientists with disparate expertise writing grants together can identify knowledge gaps and drive progress — but systems must change to incentivize them.

✨New paper out @nature.com ✨ For 8 weeks around the 2024 US election, we randomly assigned 2,000 people to use social media algos we built ourselves. Do engagement-based algorithms amplify intergroup, moral & emotional (IME) content—and does that distort how we see political norms? 🧵🔗 👇

Teaching DAGs sounds easy, until students actually have to make one themselves. A new tutorial lays out simple steps to make it clear and easy for students to understand. Draw process, selection, outcome, confounds. From Nathan J. Quimpo & Peter M. Steiner files.osf.io/v1/resources... #psych
