Binney et al. examine preregistration benefits in neuropsychology, and routes to achieving key objectives. They survey barriers and argue that these biases are surmountable. From the Reproducibility collection, please read at buff.ly/kxMjhhd.

Zhou et al. report that parenchymal CSF (pCSF) mapping from T2 relaxometry is more strongly associated with beta-amyloid deposition than other MRI-based glymphatic markers; pCSF is a sensitive, whole brain, non-invasive AD glymphatic dysfunction biomarke (buff.ly/tOAZ7k2)

You et al. reported among older adults that APOE e4 genotype and non-favourable lifestyles were associated with smaller brain volumes and poorer white matter tract integrity. No interactions were found between lifestyle and APOE e4 👉 buff.ly/BVYXp8d

Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉

As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices

Unfortunately true and makes me think about gut-brain related research as a whole: “where there’s smoke, there must be fire,” but experience from neuroimaging association studies, and nutritional epidemiology has shown that actually there can sometimes just be lots of smoke. 💨 »
The link between the gut #microbiome and autism is not backed by science, researchers say.

I think the general lessons are:

1. Be clear about your goal (_estimand_)

2. Be clear about your analytical method (_estimator_)

3. Be clear about the assumptions that connect method to goal (_design_)

This so much!

Parents (usually mothers) in car-centric areas are forced to chauffeur their kids around. It also means they emphasize predictable, scheduled activities (like sports leagues) that cost money.

Youth mobility gives kids freedom, saves money, and reduces the unpaid-labor burden on women
Just preaching my message of "wanting to do less more often" we all have our reasons.

Wer in der Wissenschaft als exzellent gelten will, muss sichtbar sein. Nur: Frauen werden für Sichtbarkeit abgestraft. Sie können es schlicht nicht richtig machen! Kein Wunder, dass Gleichstellung im dt. Wissenschaftssystem schleppend vorangeht. Das #Sichtbarkeitsparadox: heute in #ArbeitInDerWiss!
