Glad to announce I hung out with @dtcooper.bsky.social to talk about our little BDSM study (59:49)! Thanks for having me podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

My my, another paper! 😍🤓📜 What happens to body and mind when you breathe in suffering and breathe out compassion? We throw some EEG evidence on Tonglen meditation for healthcare workers. Full text: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New paper straight out of the oven! We created a scale to measure a pretty interesting contruct: Exaggerating value of social media for communication. That way the field could advance in explaining instead of describing problematic behaviors. doi.org/10.1186/s403...

The quality of evidence in psychology publications has improved substantially over the last two decades, across all subareas. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Academia (the social platform) is so opposite of my like

Weaponizing the “reproducibility crisis” to dismantle academic research is way too easy. This will be used as a blueprint for future wanna-be dictators.

Glad to see our work outside journal-verse 😊😊

Some time ago experts told me theories of consciousness were there but lacked contrast between them. Now we have it. This is simply amazing, what a time to contemplate scientific models of consciousness 💫

Titanic& super important work from @drmichaellevin Lab "What Lives? A meta-analysis of diverse opinions on the definition of life I’m on the dynamic and relational process side close to self-sustaining dynamic patterns 😎👇🏼 arxiv.org/abs/2505.15849 osf.io/preprints/ps...

In my talks about replication crisis (not reproducibility) I always used as attention-catcher that we cannot afford this roughly 50% replicability in human sciences since someone like Trump could use this to discredit everything and push their agenda. I hate that this prediction came true.

El nuevo video de @tamayostuff.bsky.social ha causado bastante impacto. Ni que decir que los predatory journals son un cáncer. Surge un dilema: hay evidencia de que la población no distingue la credibilidad de artículos revisados o no journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Good way to get to know questionable journals

Qué llorera, madre mía

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

This Thursday I will give a talk on (causal) mediation analysis -- happy to have finally worked out what I want to tell people. And happy to pilot a new mode of slide sharing: just putting them on my website (juliarohrer.com/resources/)

Paper time! 📜🤓 In 2020 we measured optimism and illness perceptions of COVID-19. Pop culture advocates for optmistic individuals as naive or careless. We found that this does not seem true in the data (N=7254), while also some differences across 10 countries: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

This is known as a “Holy Ghost”

A short article of mine on civil-military relations and democratic backsliding had been accepted for publication in the journal "Connections". Then I received an email that the editors can't publish the paper unless I "remove the case study/examples of the United States" (1/x) #CivMilSky

The White House has turned COVID.gov from a public health resource into a politically charged platform promoting the lab-leak theory and attacking specific scientists and the pandemic response in general. Let’s fact check its 5 headline claims… 🧵
