New preprint w/ Leo Tiokhin & @lakens.bsky.social! Registered Reports (RRs) are great for science b/c publication is guaranteed before results are known, reducing publication bias & QRPs. This feature supposedly also makes them great for *scientists*. But is that really true? 1/ tinyurl.com/4sy993rr

Career incentives make Registered Reports unattractive under realistic academic conditions

Registered Reports are a publication format designed to reduce publication bias by guaranteeing publication before results are known. This guarantee is considered attractive in the prevailing ‘publish...

Neuroscientist Dr. Brenda Milner is recognized as one of the fundamental founders of modern cognitive neuropsychology. She proved the hippocampus is essential for forming long-term "declarative" memory (facts, names & events). She was born #OTD in 1918--she's 108 years old today! #WomenInSTEM

A color photograph of Dr. Brenda Milner (born 1918), the pioneering British-Canadian founder of cognitive neuropsychology whose landmark work mapped localized memory in the human hippocampus. Seated and facing left, she engages an audience with an expressive, animated posture, both hands raised in gestural emphasis. Her short, silver-gray hair is styled back with soft volume, framing a deeply lined, intent face with a focused expression. She wears a tailored, dark navy and black textured tweed jacket over a simple cream blouse. A multi-strand necklace of dark, polished beads hangs around her neck, and a small, delicate pin is affixed to her left lapel. A flesh-colored over-ear microphone wire curves across her cheek. The dimly lit stage setting shows a blurred equipment in the background under subtle stage lighting, giving the composition a dynamic, scholarly atmosphere that highlights her enduring intellectual passion.

This is the most exciting projects I've worked on - Bringing together new methods and large datasets to answer an increasingly important question. Our findings (led by @njudd.com) suggest wildfire pollution has a measurable, negative impact on neurocognitive development in children

New Preprint 📖 with @rogierk.bsky.social on 🔥 Does wildfire pollution affect cognitive and brain development? We merged data sources to answer this question in ~9000 children! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... #PsychSciSky #CogPsyc #CogDev #devpsy #CogSci

I have to say, it's making me feel a little insane hearing commentators say Ed Miliband shouldn't be chancellor because of his "ideological zeal" for Net Zero, in a week where temperatures are so extreme that my kids are being sent home early every day and it's regularly 30 degrees inside my house

In the Netherlands, edtech platforms (Prowise, Gynzy) track performance and implement adaptive testing at the trial level. Regardless of their merits & drawbacks (both exist aplenty), are people aware of other countries (especially global south/LMIC's) that widely use such platforms in schools?

Who are 'we' you ask? We are your favourite online celebration of the harsh, the weird, the passive aggressive, the active aggressive and the downright mean comments practicing scientists receive on a regular basis. Because a review shared is a review halved* (*proverbs aren't our forte)

My fave work event: the annual writing retreat of the Lifespan Cognitive Dynamics lab. We wrote, cooked, went on long walks & discovered each other’s niche passions (traditional dance, metros, temperature, the best cats in Nijmegen & more), and I did more writing in 3 days than in 3 'normal' weeks

Can AI do neuroscience without understanding?
