Our new preprint "fAIr science — How AI can support a transparent biopsychological research cycle" is out 🚀 AI is rapidly entering biopsychological research, from literature review and study design to data analysis. But can these tools advance open science, or do they risk undermining it? 👇 [1/4]

The #PuG2026 is taking place in Heidelberg this week! We are very excited about the exceptional lineup of speakers in the symposia and poster sessions and want to draw your special attention to the #Posterblitz organised by the ERCs taking place on Friday from 2 to 3:30 PM in HS13! ⚡
A recent paper by Epp et al. in NN claimed that ~40% of reported BOLD findings could be misinterpreted. In our reanalysis, we identified several statistical issues that, in our view, undermine these conclusions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 👇 1/11

Join us for the LOVE REPLICATIONS WEEK from March 2 - 6 with talks on reproductions, replications, how to find them, how to conduct them, how to have them conducted on your study, where to publish them, and much more!
Now we wrote a piece about many things we always wanted to say about replications. How they are used, tracked and valued by the science community. And how we can evaluate their results, whatever those may be 🤔 Read the preprint 📃 osf.io/preprints/me... Browse the Hub 🌐 forrt.org/replication-...
It has been a while since @flavioazevedo.bsky.social asked me to take over the Reversals project at @forrt.bsky.social... It has since evolved beyond my wildest dreams, mostly thanks to @aufdroeseler.bsky.social & @lukaswallrich.bsky.social. We are very proud of the Replication Hub & Database ♥️
Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉 As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices www.nature.com/articles/s44...
