Thrilled to debate the future of scientific publishing with Alex Freeman, founder of Octopus.ac, moderated by @jlrohmann.bsky.social & hosted @einsteinberlin.bsky.social in a suitably vibrant Berlin setting. Votes elegantly split half way before & after arguments - strikingly, many changed sides : )

Berliners, help welcome @philippbach.bsky.social to the local causal inference scene! :) 👋
🎉 Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming our new tenure-track Assistant Professor @philippbach.bsky.social at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social
In his talk, Philipp gave an inspiring overview of his work in the field of #CausalMachineLearning: method development, software tools, and applications.

That merely being “under review” by a Nature family journal is offered as a quality proxy for a paper is a tragic illustration of the extent to which academia is addicted to brands and outsources evaluation

It was a pleasure to take part in this inspiring event with a group of so many movers and shakers. ⭐ This is the energy and urgency needed in this space. I learned a lot and look forward to our joint output from this workshop. Thanks to @idibaps.bsky.social & @eu-life.bsky.social for organizing!
💡“Where do we want our institutions to be in 5 years when it comes to #ResearchAssessment?”
EU-LIFE & @idibaps.bsky.social co-organised a workshop in the context of the @coarassessment.bsky.social working group SAGA to explore struggles, enablers & visions for the future.

![5-panel comic. (1) [teacher with long hair next to whiteboard] TEACHER: I’m supposed to give you the tools to do good science. (2) [teacher addressing students] But what *are* those tools? Methodology is hard and there are so many ways to get incorrect results. What is the magic ingredient that makes for good science? (3) TEACHER: To figure it out, I ran a regression with all the factors people say are important: [embedded list in sub-panel, cut off at end] Outcome variable: correct scientific results. Predictors: collaboration; skepticism of others’ claims; questioning your own beliefs; trying to falsify hypotheses; checking citations; statistical rigor; blinded analysis; financial disclosure; open data (4) TEACHER: The regression says two ingredients are the most crucial: 1) genuine curiosity about the answer to a question, and 2) ammonium hydroxide.

Really appreciate this piece, @simine.com — it’s so refreshing to see a journal openly laying out how it’s working to earn trust. Thanks for your leadership and for putting in the hard, thoughtful work. 💪
My editorial on how journals can earn trust.
We often use journal names as proxies for quality. This is bad bc it’s not valid. But it could be. Editors could make journal name a valid signal. And we could place value on journals that show us how they do that.

1. People are working on causal inference topics that go waaaay over my head
2. Many applied researchers are still unaware of the heroic assumptions they make
3. Both groups need to make efforts to close this gap

what software do people use to generate pretty-looking causal DAGs for their papers? (answers that take the form of an R package preferred, but “we always use Powerpoint/Canva/… because doing it in code is too hard” is a useful data point too)
