A conference checkbox made me rethink where my academic story really began. rolfzwaan.substack.com/p/my-parents...

Somebody posted an article on human-human and human-AI dyads recently. I forgot to mark it and spent the last hour looking for it. I'd much appreciate it if someone could point me to the post or paper. It might be useful for a course I will be teaching.

We're now up to 29 labs across 16 countries for our replication project! There is still room for more labs to join us. We are particularly seeking labs capable of testing native English speakers, though all labs are welcome to participate. For more information: rolfzwaan.substack.com/p/memory-mis...

Our proposal clearly resonated with many people. Within 24 hours, 18 labs from 11 countries have expressed an interest in our replication project! But there is still room for additional labs to sign up. rolfzwaan.substack.com/p/memory-mis...

“The climate doesn’t care how virtuous you feel after eating a lentil burger.”

@rolfzwaan.bsky.social counsels against fixating on the (individual) i-frame, when a need for structural change calls for the (systemic) s-frame.

Just let the moralizers be and move on:

New post on how I became involved in the open science movement.
Not by design, but through circumstance—beginning with a case of fraud and an uneasy task. This led to replication work, writing, and a lasting shift in perspective.
