Good to be able to get up from this.. I've been hit twice on c'vill roads while in bike lanes or with the right of way. Too many of the roads and intersections are built with only a ingle mode of transportation in mind despite the fact that bikes and pedestrians use them all the time.

Please apply and share with those who you think would make great contributions. Methodology experts and those who want to advance open science policies are welcome!

For those looking for alternatives to OSF, I recommend two resources comparing features of other Generalist Repositories. Resources are from GREI, an NIH funded initiative. Comparison tool to help you pick which one you like best: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... Decision tree:  doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Saying such words with a smile on your face is so dystopian. It's difficult to comprehend.

I urge everyone to read & sign the NIH's Bethesda Declaration. There are many chilling aspects of the draconian, shortsighted, and illegal cuts, but the worst are the cancelled trials that have left patients without care in the midst of treatments www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

We are no longer updating it as the time and resources to do so became too high and we were no longer seeing impact of TOP Factor replacing other metrics. We're investigating ways to continue toward that goal and will post about it soon. Meantime... feel free to use data as you wish!

It is thrilling to announce that Lifecycle Journal is open for submissions. Come and try out this reimagining of scholarly communication that meets researchers' needs in the current system and opens the door to an innovative, values-aligned, community-led system for the future.

1. Here are some of my thoughts on the news by Erin Reed that some hospitals are denying new minor patients for gender affirming care: Hospitals that obey in advance to illegal executive orders can and should be targeted for protest actions by trans activists groups. bsky.app/profile/erin...

Do you know any early career researchers in the UK who have contributed something special to improve research practices? The call for the 2025 Dorothy Bishop award is open now! Nominations close on 26 January 2025. www.ukrn.org/2024/12/12/t...
A picture of a trophy. The real award looks much cooler.

Amazing talk on wrongful convictions by @barbobrien.bsky.social last night! Love learning from different fields. This slide got me, the majority of exonerations occur due to perjury/false accusations (orange) or official misconduct (purple). @aimosinc.bsky.social #AIMOS2024

I fully expect him to be "acting AG" for as long as he remains on Putin's nice list, at which point acting AG Trump Jr will take his place.

The purpose of the field is to increase awareness of how many total pubs are made from any given dataset. It is possible that reviewers will follow the links (they may feel they need to know how much prior analysis has been done), in which case they would be obligated to let editor know

David Mellor @davidmellor.bsky.social · 26/06/2024
That's a good question. I'd recommend: This prereg will be shared anonymously, I am disclosing the following pubs in the interest of complete transparency, in order to maintain annymty do not follow while if participating in double blind review. DOI, DOI, DOI.

Yeah I think that would be really neat- preregs are definitely the right opportunity to get that feedback
