New pub providing preliminary support for an open-access citation advantage in special education journals (i.e., open access articles get cited more). Causality shouldn't be inferred, and I don't know why we got a picture of an amphibian (but I'll take it) royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...

On the cutting room floor is the bit where the host introduced their interview series, The Interview, and I asked how long it took to come up with the name. Anyway, here’s me talking about birds and science and burnout and moving through the world. The photo’s nice! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

A new study in Nature Human Behaviour shows how decision markets can help prioritize replication efforts in social science research. The findings demonstrate the utility of this approach in identifying studies more likely to replicate. Read more: www.cos.io/blog/deci...

Decision Markets Predict Replicability of Online Experiments
A new study published in Nature Human Behaviour suggests that a tool similar to a stock market could help scientists identify research findings that are likely to hold up to scrutiny. The study, conducted by a group of social scientists from around the world, tested the ability of a "decision market" to predict which results from previously published social science experiments would be successfully replicated.
