At least where I got my PhD, if I wasn't sure what I found, how it worked, if it was useful or significant, nobody pretended I accomplished anything.

i didn't either! but they were filming some sort of mini documentary / "live at the Ryman" type special, so it seems like a big deal for them.

just saw them live in Nashville, where they played their entire 29-song album from start to finish. amazing show, though I would've liked to see them do some of their older stuff, too.

Clear it up, Cofnas signatories. Do you care about academic freedom, a fine ideal that includes empirical examinations of racism, misogyny, and gender nonbinaries? Or do you care only about an absence of consequences for racist tweets from your racist friends? Have the guts to say which.

Ashley Watts @ashleylwatts.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Totally. Love it. I'm working on a bunch of "when to aggregate" stuff and will email you a paper with a method that I think is a great way to test appropriateness of aggregation. (Not mine, just a fan)

Ashley Watts @ashleylwatts.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

IMO the psychometric benefits to aggregation are so overblown, so I appreciate your careful consideration of the pros and cons here. I’ve evolved into a splitter over time and really like your fine-grained approach.

When it comes to signing open letters about academic freedom, “We have to take a principled stand!” doesn’t work if there have been loads of other much more obvious and serious instances of violations of academic freedom to which you said absolutely nothing.

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.

Why is it so important to you to defend blatant racism? The comparison to heliocentrism is something else.

Anyone with access to the internet would agree this is a naive (at best) position to take. No need to reply. I’m not interested in debating.

Yes, Matt McGue being on the list shocked me to my core. Del Guidice has long been a problem and he collaborates with JD H**ltigan. Old school behavior geneticists and ev psych men seem to have one specific thing in common…

The psychologists and behavior geneticists who signed reflect a real Who’s Who of the biggest pieces of shit in their fields.

Check out a recent paper from my lab led by @josephfsexton.bsky.social: We show how and why conventional practices to “establish” unidimensionality of psychiatric constructs are highly fallible and prematurely foreclose upon multidimensional solutions. (Joseph’s thread is worth perusing!)

📝 Excited to share an accepted first-authored paper at Clinical Psych Science! Why are so many mental disorders treated as unidimensional? We show support for 1-factor models is often just an artifact of conventional psychometric methods -- which weren't designed with psychopathology in mind.

We did! ☺️ Dumped the results in the appendix because they weren’t the primary result but they replicated nicely. We are working on a larger scale analysis of other adult scales and things also replicate nicely.
