Agreed! We should definitively have open conversations about the problems in science and how to improve them.

This is the scientific way.

Very excited to publicly share news about a new tool, Papercheck, that @debruine.bsky.social and me started to develop more than a year ago! In an introductory blog post, we explain our philosophy to automatically check scientific papers for best practices. daniellakens.blogspot.com/2025/06/intr...

Q: If a student's project does not find support for their hypotheses, how should they present it at a conference, given that all would be null findings? Any tips on what they should focus on to generate useful discussions/feedback?

Repost appreciated!

One should not feel offended when asked about data and analysis details. Better: put everything up timely so you will not be asked.

Thanks to everybody who chimed in!

I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.

So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

“However, academic freedom matters most in the edge cases where scientists are pursuing evidence that others find inconvenient or objectionable.”

Apparently, the only exception is if it inconveniences the government.

I wrote this about the Trump administration's recent "race realist" attack on the Smithsonian.
theconversation.com/race-isnt-a-...
Race isn’t a ‘biological reality,’ contrary to recent political claims − here’s how scientific consensus on race developed in the 20th century
An executive order critiques the idea that race is a human invention. But that’s exactly what modern science supports.

An interesting assessment of the “social security fraud” found by DOGE from an data analysis perspective.

Definitively worth a minute to think it over and discussion.

After round 4 the super friendly employee at the municipality told me: No, you should be frustrated by this process, this procedure is way too much of a hassle for what you are trying to achieve. Upon which I replied the peer review process had trained me for this moment in my life. 😂

Extremely useful and timely meta-analysis on the impact of increasing the speed of lecture recordings - 1.25x and 1.5x no/low cost that is probably balanced by increased engagement but 2x and 2.5x impairs learning.

Has “many analyst” #research been done on quaLitative #data?

How much do *independent* teams of qualitative coders/analyzers converge/diverge when trying to answer one question with one dataset?

Suggestions (and self-promotion) welcome.

Whenever a trauma patient presents with pulmonary injuries and a COVID diagnosis we are always prepared for the worse, especially if the patient is elderly. To say that COVID no longer warrants study or funding is the epitome of ignorance.

CDC is pulling back $11B in Covid funding sent to health departments across the U.S.
“Now that the pandemic is over, the grants and cooperative agreements are no longer necessary," federal health authorities wrote to funding recipients this week.
