"Taking this literature as a whole, there may be a sense that where there’s smoke, there must be fire,' but experience from other fields ... has shown that actually there can sometimes just be lots of smoke."

New paper with @statsepi.bsky.social and @deevybee.bsky.social in which we show there's really no evidence for a link between the gut microbiome and autism www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

seems like this should be a bigger deal than it currently is: "Currently, industry-led experiments are publishable without [IRB] approval [39]. There is little reason to exempt industry from standard journal policies..."

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv. There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

Hormonal milieu influences whole-brain structural dynamics across the menstrual cycle using dense sampling in multiple individuals @carinaheller.bsky.social, @uni-jena.de, @umn-midb.bsky.social, @icsantabarbara.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hormonal milieu influences whole-brain structural dynamics across the menstrual cycle using dense sampling in multiple individuals - Nature Neuroscience

Heller et al. showed dense longitudinal imaging in four females, including one with endometriosis and one using oral contraceptives, and the finding that different hormonal milieus influence widespread brain volume changes linked to progesterone or estradiol.

The menstrual cycle requires tight orchestration between the brain and body, and irregularities can be both the cause and the consequence of wide-ranging health issues. Embracing this complexity, inst...

My med school textbook says stimulants like Ritalin treat hyperactivity by “stimulating” the brain’s attention and cognitive control systems. We studied children taking stimulants in the ABCD Study, and the largest differences were actually in arousal and reward networks! Check out our preprint!

1/2 Hi All! I’d like to share two papers that mean a lot to me. The first is my diagnosis of the replication crisis. "Campbell’s Law Explains the Replication Crisis: Pre-Registration Badges Are History Repeating" journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....)

2/2 The second is my solution for the replication crisis. It was recently accepted at Assessment. "How to Produce, Identify, and Motivate Robust Psychological Science: A Roadmap and a Response to Vize et al." doi.org/10.31234/osf...

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇

A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THE STUDY SECTIONS IN THE BACK: ". . . classical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) . . . can be reliable when averaged across tens of people, or even in an individual, given sufficient repetition."
