"Dutch research institutions will adopt a new Code of Conduct for Research Integrity with effect from 1 January 2027." www.nwo.nl/en/news/revi...

In Maastricht, close to where we live, the eagle owl has its nesting ground. They are majestic and will often attack runners so they are also quite socially aware. www.visitmaastricht.com/en/locations...

Do you run #behavioural #psychology #experiments? Have you tried creating #JavaScript experiments with jsPsych but for stumped by all the coding needed? I've been working on Tachisto, a #jsPsych builder that should require little or no code. Give it a go and let me know! www.capro.dev/tachisto/

The new Dutch Code of Conduct for Research Integrity has launched and it includes new sections about AI in research. These could have big consequences for how Dutch universities adopt GenAI in research and education. www.knaw.nl/en/publicati... ⬇️

Hi all! I'm looking for people to try out my new collaborative writing platform. Think: Overleaf or GDocs for Mkdown LaTeX HTML Typst Quarto Free, open source, and full-featured. Many editors, chat, comments, track changes, history, AI, mobile, templates, etc Would ❤️ any feedback! librepaper.org

Chefs kiss. Read this woman’s poetry: poets.org/poem/o-small...

🚨 New paper 🚨 Are your participants using AI to take your study? We conducted the first study directly observing AI assistance in online research, spanning 700K+ Prolific submissions. We found very rare, concentrated AI use, but gaps in safeguards. arxiv.org/abs/2610.09279

Still upset about that highly cited paper in Psych Science you consider deeply flawed? Now is your time to shine ✨

Somehow, this story is about our current political moment.

The discussion on this is fascinating and yet I’m wondering whether there are estimates on prevalence: how much are people, say on prolific, having an agent do their survey?

Highly recommend checking out some of @kiante.bsky.social recent work. He's developing some great tools for bot detection, including survey-shield.com and kiante-fernandez.github.io/webgazer-qua...

Interesting paper on increase in LLM assisted paper writing in psychology. They check for a explicite list of fingerprint words. Most hits in MDPI, Frontiers, and Elsevier outlets. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

This is hilarious but also Žižek understands what an academic talk should be: talking about things you hate.

Psych Science (the journal) is broader than you might think! Do you do descriptive research? Or research w/ underrepresented populations or cultural frameworks? Or research on AI/LLMs for psych? Or research testing lab findings in the real world? We have a special issue for that!

Also worth noting how many of the signatories of the letter defending Cofnas call themselves evolutionary psychologists, including those with gatekeeping roles or large public platforms. Concerning to have the discipline represented by those who, at very best, misunderstand academic freedom

Just spelled "instantaneously" on the first try and was waiting a full minute for the spellchecker to turn red and it never did. So I then googled whether the word is correct. I'm smart.

Just used this to download my stuff from OSF and worked great. Can recommend!

We were given permission to share it individually. Central administration concurred in it having to be taken off the website "because it might confuse people and make them think that this is Ghent University's position, not just the department's"

www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t47r5... Statement of the department. Has been taken offline due to complaint of the prof who hired Cofnas

The following R script downloads your public projects from the OSF. Set the variable "me" to your OSF user ID, which you can find at osf.io/profile after logging in.

I keep seeing/hearing people say that there aren't any open-science and meta-research events. Collecting and curating these the past month has shown me there is a LOT going on, just maybe difficult to keep track. See screenshots, take your pick. Metaventory can help: metaventory.vercel.app/events

One of the major pains of academia is having to click through labyrinths of webpages to submit papers. Now, thanks to Joe Rich (and AI), problem solved! His tool is called PaperPush and is available at github.com/pachterlab/p... It's super easy to use! 1/🧵

Folks!!! You can vote on various designs for the new euro banknotes and some of these look amazing. Also, we could make birb money happen!!!

Legitimate scathing critique of power posing claims like it’s 2015. Now with GenAI made up stuff. Chefs kiss.

Autonomous AI agents are now built into many browsers. A naive user can take an online survey with as little as the click of a button. For behavioral research, which depends heavily on online samples, this is a real problem. (1/7)

I spent the past semester building interactive teaching apps with AI-assisted coding. I used my personal website to share them with my students, but that makes them hard to find for other educators. So I built Galvoro — galvoro.app

Can gratitude interventions make the world happier? We tested 6 gratitude practices across 34 countries with 10,696 participants to find out — and the answer is more interesting than a simple yes 🧵 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Is the discourse now that this website is dying. I really can’t handle another migration. I need a website to skulk and look at what people are talking about while being too afraid to engage myself. Stay alive Bluesky.

For all the benefits of the Artemis mission many people are disregarding the obvious: the amount of sick wallpapers this mission is going to produce.
