Is psychology doomed to fail? What would it take to fix it? And why has progress been so slow?
In a (less than one page) piece at Nature Reviews Psych, I outline what I take to be the root cause of our field's biggest challenges; inspired by Meehl and many others.

The public opinion data in the ROPER database (+ YouGov's archives) is incredibly rich, diverse, and well-documented. It allowed me to do studies on reactions to disagreement that would have been *totally impossible* on any one lab's budget. Highly, highly recommend!
The most frustrating thing about working for the oldest social science data archive in the world is knowing how much cool stuff we have that goes unused because people don't know about it. In some cases, making data usable requires more resources than we have (THREAD).
