It’s great to see that we’re critically evaluating industry-affiliated research and how industry spins those findings and hold back important info. Especially important given the data asymmetry on full display in these letters. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Does the information that people see on social media influence their political views? Is it making people politically more divided? In July 2023, Science published three papers on an unprecedented stu...
This week, the touchstone paper purporting to show that there are replicability benefits of preregistration was retracted. For me this highlights a long-running disagreement I've had with core CoS strategy. I like the idea of making things possible, easy, and rewarding.
In my view, study design (along with theory) is *the* ultimate preregistration. It always tells the story as it is. We just need some counterfactual thinking. Why is the study designed this way? Is this an appropriate design if this is the desired inference? Is this a good test of the theory?
Another new paper to share where we identified different patterns in students' beliefs about challenge: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jqda3irP4...@veronicayan.bsky.social)!

I might have to fuck with this new Matlock starring Kathy Bates
