A week ago, @nature.com published a very special issue on reliable research in the social and behavioral sciences. It features four papers that look at reproducibility, robustness and replicability and represents an amazing amount of work. Check it out here: www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Reliable research in the social and behavioural and sciences

Sweeping new investigations probe the replication, robustness and reproducibility of results across the behavioural and social sciences.

Thanks @chelseakisil.bsky.social, totally agree! Mindfulness is such a key piece of the puzzle. Excited to see how future research from our group and the field at large might help bridge the gap between the attention economy and meaningful ways to refocus and reengage students.

Love this. This is where my passion for mindfulness comes in: how can we expect interventions to be effective if the students aren't present with us?

Thanks for the kind note about our paper @jeffgreene.bsky.social ! We have some emerging work that will be out soon addressing some of the points you raised. Happy to chat more if you’re interested.

I think attention has been seriously understudied in the science of learning literature. Someone extremely well-versed in this attention literature could really enhance how we think about learning, self-regulated learning, etc. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I’m pleased to share our new review article, “Attending to Remember: Recent Advances in Methods and Theory”, written with Haopei Yang (HY), Alice Xue, and Anthony Wagner, now out in Current Directions in Psychological Science. 🚀🧠 A brief thread 🧵 doi.org/10.1177/09637214251339452

Attending to Remember: Recent Advances in Methods and Theory - Shawn T. Schwartz, Haopei Yang, Alice M. Xue, Anthony D. Wagner, 2025

The ability to learn from and remember experiences (episodic memory) depends on multiple neurocognitive systems. In this article, we highlight recent advances i...

I've already had two federal grants terminated and face a 33% pay cut due to future terminations. It's painful, but not as painful as the conversations I'm having every day with brilliant trainees in graduate school and postdoctoral positions who see little future for themselves in US science.

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o... Really important piece to share widely. Too many Americans don’t know how severe a threat this Administration poses to our scientific infrastructure, global leadership, and health security

Are you tempted to orthogonalize the regressors in your fMRI model? @jeanette-mumford.bsky.social tells you why this is almost never a good idea, and is likely to wreck the interpretation of your model. mumfordbrainstats.tumblr.com/post/1337933...

Collinearity...is orthogonalization the answer? (No)

If I had a dollar for every time I read a paper purporting to have repaired a multicollinearity issue by orthogonalizing regressors...  Unfortunately, once collinearity is there and the data have been...
