The science barometer 2025 is now available! It focuses on the topic of polarisation and the role that science can play in a society that is perceived as polarised.
All results and a background paper on polarisation can be found on our website:

The FORRT Replication Database has received a massive overhaul (FReD 2.0): We double-coded and validated all data from scratch and extended it in the course of a one-year-partnership with the @cos.io. We just switched to a faster interface thanks to @lukaswallrich.bsky.social’s wizardry.

Since Jan 1 2025, which feels like four trillion years ago, research has been shared on here 5 million whole-ass times. Bluesky recently passed 2 billion posts IN TOTAL.
So 0.25% of the entire site's traffic was citations to research.
That is actually massively high. Is it? Yes. Here's why.

Fake expert and pseudo-scientist labels are increasingly used in science and public debates to delegitimize actors or claims, often in the context of misinformation 📰 In our newest publication in Communication Theory we explore what such terms actually mean. 👇

It’s been a pleasure presenting our recent work on neural biomarkers of morality at #ICANDay2025. Hopefully, shifting from brain maps to neural models will help us to develop a more precise and reliable moral neuroscience.
Very inspiring keynote by @fhopp.bsky.social at #ICANDay2025: “From Maps to Models: A Paradigm Shift for Moral Neuroscience.” A fascinating case for moving beyond brain mapping toward predictive modeling and multivariate neural decoding to better understand morality in the brain.
