Three golden rules of university management 1 Never look into anything you don’t have to 2 Never set up an enquiry unless you already know what its findings will be 3 Never let the facts get in the way of the outcome you’ve already decided upon

Takeaways from the discussion? Not sure... Maybe the replication crisis may not be solved by better code, more data sharing, or better statistical practices alone. Those things matter enormously, but reproducible analysis still needs theories that generate meaningful and falsifiable predictions.

Solidarity with E. Jean Carroll and all survivors who face legal retaliation and criminal prosecution for speaking the truth. This is both remarkable and utterly unsurprising. Survivors have been jailed, retraumatized, harassed, and sued into silence for far too long.

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.
