New episode! @minzlicht.bsky.social is back and fired up about citation diversity staments. We discuss the much-criticised Nature Reviews Psychology editorial encouraging authors to include them in their articles, as well as Mickey's very problematic beer tastes. share.fireside.fm/episode/Ah1O...

Does anyone know how much it costs to publish in Nature Reviews Psychology? Their APC doesn't seem to be listed on the web anywhere.

Very cool discussion between @yoelinbar.net and @paulbloomatyale.bsky.social on when to quit theories, usually either too soon or too late

Super relevant for criminology, where it’s rare to see any crim theory truly put to rest

When to Quit (with Paul Bloom)
Paul Bloom takes over the show to interview Yoel about loss of faith: when to give up on a theory, and which of his own findings he no longer believes.

FINALLY got to chat with @yoelinbar.net about everything Jews-and-DEI. thecjn.ca/news/campus/...
Have campus DEI programs failed Jewish students after Oct. 7? This academic says 'yes'

Really proud of this new work out @psychscience.bsky.social. Led by the amazing but bluesky-less Amanda Geiser and with @deborahsmall.bsky.social.

We show that when comparing moral wrongs, people are (much) more willing to “scale up” than to “scale down” condemnation and punishment…
