We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

Incredible work on paper mills. I really wonder what happened to the cluster of fraudulent editors/authors at PLOSone in the lower right corner? Were there any real repercussions or are they still milling around?
In our article, we demonstrate through a series of vignettes that…
1. Editors abuse their positions of authority to collude with authors to publish problematic articles en masse.

Why do measures of putatively the same construct so often fail to correlate strongly across units of analysis (self/informant report, behavioral, physiological/neural): measurement problems or truly actually capturing different constructs (or some of both)?
