Still sleep deprived and currently suffering the consequences 😷💀

I've been super sleep deprived this week prepping for lectures but it was sooooooooooo worth it when I've received positive feedback from some students that they enjoyed my class 🥹 I do hope that it gets better for me over time and i'll have more sleep 😂

I have started a Behavioural Science starter pack - just let me know if you would like to be added - see go.bsky.app/CzLwTyZ

Started reading this book by Hasok Chang and I’m immediately drawn in: “It is neither desirable nor any longer effective to try bullying people into accepting the authority of science. Instead, all members of the educated public can be invited to participate in science”

omg so i've received an email from wordpress telling me that an anonymous reader had gifted me an entire year of subscription renewal 😭 WHO ARE YOU? REVEAL YOURSELF SO I CAN THANK YOU 🥹🥹🥹

Last month, @abrir.bsky.social & the Malaysia Educational Psychology Society worked together to organise a workshop on #OpenScience & #BigTeamScience. Now anyone can revisit the moment here on YouTube! 📺 youtube.com/watch?v=RJnj... Check out the workshop materials here➡️ zenodo.org/records/1332...

For too long, #behavioralscience has drawn insights from a narrow pool, leaving out voices from the Global South. I'm super excited to reveal the Missing Majority Dashboard, which @psforscher.bsky.social and I developed to shine light on this critical gap and track representation in key journals.

A PhD project is interested in experiences of global research team. The 500+ consortium I was involved in, unfortunately, was too big, whereas they are interested more in a global team of 20 or so. Consider helping out w survey if that's relevant to you! Link: t.co/shqFmyJKFl

I'm attending the BTS2024 Conference as part of @abrir.bsky.social's panel session next month! Join me together with @nscorralfrias.bsky.social, @almajeftic.bsky.social, @alelazic.bsky.social, @nikitaghodke04.bsky.social, Sandesh Dakal, & Kwizera Rulinda on 8th Oct at 2PM (UTC time).

send your papers to Open Mind!!! the journal, started by the wonderful Richard Aslin, is leading the way for serious outlets for science that are free to publish in and free to read, funded by universities themselves I'm not exactly uncritical of harvard — this is SUCH a good use of crimson $$$$

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,215,231! 🥳
