wow.

Our commentary "A Revolution in Search of an Estimand: On the Idionomic Proposal of Hayes et al. (2026)" is now available as a preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... With @rpsychologist.com, @matti.vuorre.com, and Nils Hentati Isacsson.

Amazing 1st lecture by Katalin Karikó, who gave candid insights into her life in science & deeply non-linear path towards her Nobel Prize in 2023. Favourite quote: "When things go wrong, don't waste time feeling sorry for yourself" What a way to kick off #LINO75 www.penguin.co.uk/books/462526...

A survey of 2600 Ph.D. students, postdocs, and other researchers in 65 countries found that top three complaints were that supervisors: 1) used dismissive communication 2) provided little feedback 3) ignored team members’ well-being The main thing they wanted was empathy

Was really a pleasure working with BOLD 🎉

Hey @natureportfolio.nature.com is this some sort of joke?? Please act ASAP. This is an abomination! 👇How the hell did this ever pass peer review, editorial processes??? doi.org/10.1038/s415...

I am a parking reformer because I live in a country where self-professed environmentalists, like this @sierraclub.org leader, oppose affordable housing because it ”doesn’t have enough parking.”

Are you interested in detecting brain changes in individuals with higher precision over shorter intervals? Check out our new paper in Nature Communications. With Randy Buckner, @jingnandu.bsky.social, and others. Link - doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Are you a postdoc in the Brain & Cognitive Sciences? 🧠 Don't miss this opportunity to showcase your work at MIT - apply by May 31! 🌟

a while back i threatened to share this. finally online for detection tasks we often systematically estimates sensitivity wrong. we need to control for unequal variance in models, but we often don't coz it needs extra data now there's a virtually 'free' way to do it www.cell.com/iscience/pdf...

This is finally out in NeuroInformatics "Enhancing fMRI Decoded Neurofeedback with Co-adaptive Training: Simulation and Proof-of-principle Evidence" shorturl.at/XCwve and the updated PyDecNef repo github.com/pydecnef/Pyd... @hakwan.bsky.social @meganakpeters.bsky.social @neuroaure.bsky.social

Despite decades of research there are still no reliable biomarkers for any of the major psychiatric diagnoses. In this now published perspective in Molecular Psychiatry we consolidate evidence from genetics, exposome and neuroimaging research on the potential reasons underlying these failures.

Now in press one of my last PhD projects! We traced the neurobiological profile of fMRI BOLD signal variability, a measure that has been related to age, behaviour, disease status, but had not yet been fully contextualised within the brain's multiscale architecture. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There are also meaningful differences in school proximity to hazardous sites by state. Even among states with similar site and population densities, the share of sites located near schools varies, suggesting the influence of local policy and land-use decisions. 5/

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

Our position paper is now out: "Learning Variability Network Exchange (LEVANTE): A Global Framework for Measuring Children's Learning Variability Through Collaborative Data Sharing". srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... (preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...) What is LEVANTE? 🧵

Great post! I just read this paper by @drewhalbailey.bsky.social and colleagues that shows the RI-CLPM also performs better than CLPM when there are unmeasured time-varying confounders: psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

Reliability paradox. It is not a paradox. osf.io/mu896_v1

🚨New Preprint alert! ANS and spatial skills are the same thing! doi.org/10.31234/osf... We aimed to explore how the Approximate Numbers Sense (ANS) and spatial skills related over time, but instead found that they are the same underlying construct.

🚨 “Good Description” with @annagbusse.bsky.social 🚨 What sets 'good' description apart from 'mere' description? We develop a framework for evaluating descriptive research, whether we are doing it as scholars or assessing it as readers. Two main contributions... 🔗📄 tinyurl.com/gooddesc

not a visualization but a good paper about this direct.mit.edu/rest/article...

Choose Science. Choose Europe. A new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open. With a budget of €404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond. Apply by 10 September → europa.eu/!fBTMgF

Are you an international early career scholar considering spending time in the Netherlands? We likely have capacity to host a Marie Curie Fellow if you are interested. Our lab (lifespancognitivedynamics.com) works on modeling cognitive change in early or later life, at short and long timescales.

A paper I find extremely interesting on the equivalence between fixed effects models and "tweaked" random effects models: doi.org/10.1017/pan....

Good question! I think in that setup just drawing the DAG (with repeated nodes) may be the starting point? The paper on outcome-wide longitudinal designs may also be helpful: content.sph.harvard.edu/wwwhsph/site... >
