"Simpson's gender-equality paradox" surely deserve some award for best title 👑 The gender-equality paradox seems really central to some narrative people have constructed (and successfully sold). I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if it turned out 100% confounding.> www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I often see Ioannidis' paper 'Why most published research findings are false' on reading lists. And by all means - I found it educational when I first read it. But you might also want a summary of the criticisms on the paper, and we dive into these in our @nulliusinverba.bsky.social podcast episode.

It can be interesting to read why so many psychological scientists have raised concerns - which twice led to a crisis - about (social) psychology for over half a century. There are important lessons we can learn from our history about why these concerns have not been solved.

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

Four large Dutch universities, including Leiden University where I work, have decided to throw international psychology bachelor programs under the bus in an effort to appease the rightwing government. Here's my blog why this is a terrible idea. eiko-fried.com/cutting-inte...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Important to realize that Trump’s approach to Canada and Greenland is like his approach to Ukraine. It’s not even simply American imperialism. It is America enabling Russian imperialism. (1/3)

Yes, these are ridiculous. But we must also defend more "woke" grants caught in Cruz's net, like my PhD student's NSF dissertation grant on how air monitoring does not serve the needs of (mostly Black) people the most polluted zip codes. It was funded through peer review and is hugely important.
