I worry sometimes about introduction sections that have loose theoretical rationales written to satisfy reviewers when the authors really just want to say “I wondered what would happen” but aren’t allowed to

This little devil is the cause of MSWord suddenly moving comments outside the margins into outer space where you can't see them. It somehow just started happening against my will a few months ago. Just uncheck 'enable modern comments' under preferences general, and you will regain humanity.

Data Colada has submitted a motion for sanction against Francesca Gino and her former lawyer team. I hope the court rules in their favor. It will be a powerful message that sleuths can expose fake research without fearing legal consequences. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There is this weird (to me) push back against people doing important work like this, and one of the arguments repeatedly used is that so called "data slueths/police/thugs/stasi" etc have so much power. It's such a comically false premise. The power to be constantly ignored!?

New Preprint: "A Simple Future For Media Effects" @lennertcoenen.bsky.social, @yesuncomm.bsky.social, & I critically discuss our field's current emphasis on complexity. Instead, we argue to value description, prioritize regularities, formalize models, and unify theories. osf.io/preprints/os...

Every time I get a little tired and worn out, I remember that a man with a shitty spray tan and a man with a brain worm are trying to take away my future in science…and that fixes it for me. Because a man isn’t gonna be the reason I can’t be a scientist, so help me god.

My editorial on how journals can earn trust. We often use journal names as proxies for quality. This is bad bc it’s not valid. But it could be. Editors could make journal name a valid signal. And we could place value on journals that show us how they do that. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

The anti-vaccine crowd say they just want to “see the evidence” in the form of placebo-controlled randomized trials. But we've done these trials. And we know our vaccines work. Which is precisely why we can't use placebo to test better vaccines. Read more: epiellie.substack.com/p/first-do-n...

According to NCES, there are 1.5m post-secondary instructors in the United States. Let's suppose 10% want to relocate b/c of Trump. That's 150,000 faculty. For comparison, that's: More than half of the faculty in the UK. The ENTIRE faculty in Australia. THREE TIMES the number of Canadian faculty.

Just a friendly reminder that most PhD students can’t pick up, in the middle of their program, and move to a new country. I have 2-3 years left, plus a year of clinical residency after before I am officially Dr. Delawalla. Grad students have a TON of skin in and game and we need your support.
