Hi there old and new followers! Just to be sure, let me re-introduce myself. I study the credibility of scientific claims and scientists, how that credibility is built and maintained, contested and destroyed. To that end, I look at collaboration, integrity, rhetoric, and a lot more. 1/2

Different from early-career or seniority, mid-career is a single point in time. In the middle between one's first formal day as a scholar and one's last. If those are the first day of employment in research and retirement, then *today* is my mid-career day! #midcareerday #academia When is yours?

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.
There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

After closing my laptop on Friday afternoon and reopening it this morning, I received 7 peer review requests. One is absolutely unrelated to my expertise, but 6 are. I cannot and do not accept more than one per week, so I have to bump 5 back into the system. This hardly seems sustainable.

We've always been trying to minimise our electricity consumption, saving where we could. Most of those saves are tiny, but at up to a lot. Now, however, we have an electric car and our regular electricity consumption dwarfs that of that car. >
