Is the "publish or perish" culture at the center of the troubles we're experiencing in scientific publishing? Or is it actually because of the growing corporate greed of the big publishers?

What do you think #AcademicSky?

‘Publish or perish’ culture blamed for reproducibility crisis
Survey of more than 1,600 biomedical researchers also flagged small sample sizes and cherry-picking of data as leading causes of reproducibility problems.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Dear academics

We could dramatically reduce our administrative workload if we all just agreed not to ask for reference letters until we made our list of finalists.

This is massive collective action problem has already been solved by…

*checks notes*

…every other industry on earth.
Who is for abolishing grad app letters of rec at the point of application? Would it be so bad if letters were requested AFTER candidates were shortlisted? If we do this at UCSD who will join us?

Super stoked to see the new study submissions and what our assistant directors have in store for the PSA!
The December Newsletter is now available! Remember that you can still nominate candidates for the two open Assistant Director positions. Additionally, please note that today marks the final day for submitting proposals for PSA studies. https://buff.ly/3VpSD7M.

New in NHB: We systematically replicated 26 of 41 PNAS social science studies that used MTurk. The approach provides a proof-of-concept for using decision markets to select findings to replicate.

Replication effect sizes were 45% of original effect sizes.

Social psych studies are getting crazy again.
This time, instead of ridiculous conclusions, they are written with 10 studies, 60,000 people, and written in so complicated a way that it is nearly impossible to figure out what is happening from one study to the next.
