@stuartbuck.bsky.social update on metascience in the budget goodscience.substack.com/p/update-on-... Emphasis on #replication should be good news, but my concern is it’ll be used for policy-based evidence creation. #NIH Study registration, strong methods & commiting to publish are key

goodscience.substack.comUpdate on Metascience-Related Language in the NIH BudgetEarlier this week, the House and Senate appropriations committees released a bipartisan bill on NIH funding, along with a Joint Explanatory Statement that has a few paragraphs of metascience interest.

Carl Bergstrom blocked me for this post! Didn't know he was like that.

Good point. In fact, one might as well denounce anyone who has ever criticized anti-Semitism because they are somehow responsible for Trump weaponizing that idea against Columbia and Harvard.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Im sorry for empowering trump to attack science by my asking people to use better data management and statistical practices. I take full responsibility for my actions and apologize to those who could so obviously see how my efforts would be responsible for ending American science.

In the NIH's guidance proposing reducing indirect rates, it cites the fact that private foundations pay much less than the NIH But experts I talked to said it's not a fair comparison — here's why: ft. @stuartbuck.bsky.social & @pierre-azoulay.bsky.social 🧪🔬🩺 www.statnews.com/2025/02/27/w...
