It's sorta like someone smashed together a multi-center trial with a prospective meta analysis.
If this works, it's a potentially game-changing way to do large scale policy evidence generation.
And we have a good idea that it DOES work, because we've been piloting it with six journal partners.

Hi folks! Want to reintroduce a thing I'm leading at @cos.io: the Registered Revisions (meta) Trial.
This project about new peer review policy and a WILD new way of doing actionable evidence generation via RCTs. A LOT of RCTs.
Now piloted and ready for the main stage, and looking for partners! 🧵👇

The practice of science is rejecting and challenging authority, not being obedient to it.
Science is punk.

Absolutely not. This time calls for an array of approaches, righteous (and just plain right) fury included.
This take is somehow simultaneously entirely predictable and surprising. It's profoundly demoralizing and ineffective, maybe harmful.

The best I can offer as advice to the incoming generation of scientists.
The most important one BY FAR is finding your people.
The subtext for that is to also understand who will not be your people.

Reuters is now covering the order for all CDC scientists to withdraw, take their name off of, or edit all existing publications in consideration if it has such evil words as "prenant people"
This is research that is done and written. Straightforwardly censorship.

Can't be a plug if I'm shutting it down :)
I make a honing guide for sharpening woodworking tools (chisels, plane blades and the like).

This one's for those out there for whom this time of year can be rough.
Here's a few things I made this year.
Personally, I'll be doing some bike maintenance and a few small completable projects for the next week or so.
What are you getting up to?

In this particular case we are getting super mega meta, because we are ALSO pathfinding a new way to do this kind of evidence, involving centrally organizing and supporting a large number of semi-independent trials at many journals, ultimately resulting in a meta analysis.

Playing with a chart idea for common replication rate measures (whether the original value is contained in the replication 95% CI and vice versa).
Each effect size is rescaled to its counterpart effect size's CI so you can see the distribution, rather than a binary.
Thoughts?
note: fake data

Yep. Money where my mouth is: for the Registered Revisions project, the primary outcomes of the meta-trial are time-to-event-based process outcomes. Research outcomes are secondary/tertiary.
