This was a fantastic team effort across 30+ labs 🌍 Paper (open access), data & code all public. > 📄 doi.org/10.1111/desc... > 💻 github.com/manybabies/m... > #ManyBabies #InfantCognition #OpenScience #DevSci, lead team: Andreea Geambaşu, Melanie Soderstrom, and Claartje Levelt

An exciting extension to the #ggplot2 universe 🍾 I love how Alex has tied the new features to best #dataviz practices, and he even added a coaching option. I’m especially excited about the easy way to place the y-axis title at the top, plus even more shapes that are usable right out of the box 🤘

New Blog post: Which Data Repository Should you Use? In light of OSF closing down, I compare Zenodo, Dataverse, ResearchBox, PsychArchive, and local repositories on six important dimensions. If you want to know which to pick: It depends! daniellakens.blogspot.com/2026/08/whic...

In the last 2 years I (and our lovely collaborators) have been rather obsessively working on Metacheck - a tool to automatically check best practices in papers. In this RIOTS summerschool talk, I walk you through what the tool can do, and future plans www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWd2...

More people are attending Women's Super League football games. Yesterday, I was happily surprised to see 55,000 people attending a friendly football match between Brazil and USA women's national teams. That inspired this visualization. #dataviz #football

I built a website that tracks open source tools that provide automated checks for scientific manuscripts: lakens.github.io/automated_re... It provides a summary through RSS feed that you can subscribe to. It tracks 13 repositories - if you want your repo to be included, let me know!

Recently, I got quite frustrated listening to a large group of economists discussing preregistration and pre analysis plans. So, I've channelled that into an argument for why they should be preregistering their work whenever performing confirmatory research kdoroc.substack.com/p/arguing-wi...

Important reminder why survey results examining the % of people who believe in conspiracies should not directly be interpreted as the % of people who believe in conspiracies. Respondents don't all answer seriously, so the news that 12 million people believe in lizard people is not accurate.

Incredible open science project.

One year later: the depth of processing demo (unsurprisingly) replicated in my new intro psych cohort! The original thread contains instructions on how to implement this demo in your class—it's a crowd pleaser, and it can be a good grounding example for research methods and study designs.

Thank you @showmydata.org for creating such a valuable tool—I could get the demo results ready in 30 seconds while my TAs introduced themselves.

Kudos to @simine.com for all the knowledge and wisdom shared here about transparency, credibility, critique, and the scientific ecosystem.

I wrote something about publication bias at statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2025/11/14/t...

Behavioral data can be very detailed but are usually aggregated and normalized in ways that smother the dynamics. Ben wrote a continuous-time Markov model to improve on this, and also wrote simulations for exploring and validating pipelines. All the code is here: github.com/BenKawam/ASN...

Wrapping up the final row all at once: What papers to you are prototype examples of having huge, moderate, or minimal citation impact and also minimal actual impact, in whatever way you define actual impact?

Tversky & Kahneman (1974) wins for huge citation and actual impact: www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... Now, what paper had a moderate citation impact but a huge actual impact?

An inspired display of positive, patriotic civic action. The Lexington MA rally was excellent, including this inspirational speech/poem by MA poet laureate Regie O’Hare Gibson. youtu.be/GGtiPOZBaUg?...

I'm looking forward to attending the No Kings March in Lexington MA 10am-12noon today — www.mobilize.us/lexingtonala...

This blog post is a nice concise articulation of how it is tempting, but incorrect, to interpret a change score in a randomized experiment as a direct estimate of the effect size of the treatment.

WOW! These demos are impressive 👍 Looking for more examples along these lines

Reposting the below resource for educators who, like me, are still trying to figure out a good approach to AI.

Notes from @noranewcombe.bsky.social 's beautiful Rumelhart Prize "tasting menu" - congratulations Nora!!! #CogSci2025

Excellent use of shown data in a business report.

What is #dataviz animation good for? An updated thread with examples.

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Strong turnout for the #NoKings rally in Lexington MA, where the fight for U.S. democracy began. @standupforscience.bsky.social

This detailed map shows economic costs of just the first round of attempted cuts to science funding through the National Institutes of Health.

A beautiful post here by @lizneeley.bsky.social and co that explains the harm that the current administration is doing to present and future scientific medical research expertise and infrastructure in our country: unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

ummmmm...fake sources, mischaracterization of findings, made up research studies doesn't sound like "Gold Standard Science" to us. But what do we know? We are just a lowly, grassroots community of the world's leading scientists. 🐸☕ #foolsgoldscience #standupforsciece www.notus.org/health-scien...
