Realized I should update that this is now ungated. Everyone can now read, without subscription, the article that one reader described as having "about as close to a plot twist as one will ever see in a review essay." (I loved that comment, which has been making me smile since I read it.)

A while ago, we started a #FixItFriday tradition. We keep a running list - large & small, digital & analog, anything broken or annoying - and work on it together.

Today's 30-second fix: to remove AI "preview" from search results, here's the setting for Chrome users: www.reddit.com/r/techsuppor...

Well deserved recognition!

1. I have spent a lot of time recently sending invitations for people to review papers, and this process works extremely differently from what I imagined when I was a student. Wanted to write out how I do it in case that's helpful for you all as you submit papers.

If for no other reason, you should read our new paper on mixed methods in psychology because we managed to get limecat in there. doi.org/10.1177/2515...

Some UNC-Chapel Hill faculty say they are concerned about a recent Board of Trustees decision—or, rather, non-decision—on faculty tenure and promotion cases.

Amidst all the posts about how NSF funds the basic science that (eventually) leads to marketable products, its role in funding data infrastructure is getting lost.

The GSS (1972), ANES (late 1960s), and PSID (1968) are rounding error in the discretionary budget but vital national resources.

🚨 “We just need to recognize that we’re all citizens of this country.” –– Politicians + citizens often stress a shared national identity when trying to bridge racial, partisan, or other group divides.

@stysyropoulos.bsky.social & I show why such “shared” identities are doomed to fail.

The application link is now live again 🥳, after a bit of a delay from some new HR approval requirements. Please tell any fabulous post-bacs or graduating seniors to submit their applications by *May 16* for priority consideration -- I will start looking at apps after that date.

New R package almost birthed - SemanticDistance - computes two semantic distance metrics (experiential and embedding) for any rolling chunk size (ngram-to-ngram, word-to-word, turn-to-turn, ngram-to-word). You give it your language sample. It does the rest, including lemmatize and stopword omit

We just posted the job ad for my lab manager position, with a fall 2025 start date. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29867

Please share with any conscientious, motivated post-bacs or graduating seniors who are looking to build their research skills before applying to grad school.

Congratulations to the newest class of APS Rising Stars ⭐! www.psychologicalscience.org/members/awar...

Probably no-one except me uses my R tutorials in their teaching, but if you do, I'm re-writing them over the next 6-9 months. My goal is to streamline them based on 5 years of using them in class, but if you have (polite) requests/suggestsions let me have them. www.discovr.rocks/discovr/

TESS is running a Young-Investigator Competition! Submit your experiment idea and winners get their study conducted with a nationally representative panel. Open to grad students or those who are no more than 3 yrs post PhD. Deadline is 3/15. For more details, see tessexperiments.org/html/yic2024...

Excited that our paper, led by @rrrianabrown.bsky.social & Pia Dietze, is out! We find that racial health disparities violate concerns of moral sacredness moreso than economic disparities, which sparks a sense of injustice and support for action. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
