3. This likely contributes to reinforcing harmful stereotypes in research and applied settings, limits our academic career progression, and affects our wellbeing. 4. We think it can be fixed! You'll have to read the paper to find out how. :)

Our key takeaways are: 1. Neurodivergent people often don't receive adequate representation and inclusion in curricula. 2. Where we are mentioned, we are often segregated into "abnormal psychology", rather than being included as part of the diversity of cognitive experiences.

A little late for Autism Acceptance Month but... New paper alert!! We critically examined how psychology curricula often reinforce ableist perspectives by marginalising neurodivergent psychology. [1/4] #autism #neurodiversity #autismacceptance #psychology #education

The strain on scientific publishing 📄: We've got issues. Scientists overwhelmed, editors overworked, constant special issue invites, mass article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!? See: arxiv.org/abs/2309.15884 A 🧵1/n #AcademicChatter #PublishOrPerish #PhDAdvice #PhDChat

No specific article, this was the product of a free discussion! We had a few psychologists in the room who work with sensitive data (e.g. mental health) and movement scientists who record participants on video, so GDPR was a big concern for them

around open scholarship and trust are reflected in broader public opinion, and how that links into more general institutional (dis)trust

Bethan Iley (she/her) @bethaniley.com · 30/09/2023

Thank you so much for the links! I’ll share them with the rest of the group too :) Definitely agree – there’s probably a lot of work that political scientists and metascientists could do together in this area! Would be really interesting to see whether scientists’ expectations...

Today's QUB ReproducibiliTea resulted in a mildly chaotic concept map about #OpenScience. Definitely not comprehensive, but pretty impressive for a one hour meeting!!

A concept map showing a range of open scholarship concepts including data sharing, code sharing, multidisciplinarity, collaboration, changing incentives and theory development.
