Gave a talk in my dept. on the OSF transition. I wrote up a rough script of the session, which could be of interest to others. I synthesize existing resources and provide my own perspectives. Comments and corrections welcome! zenodo.org/records/2306...

Really excited about this new preprint spearheaded by @vboyce.bsky.social w/ @mcxfrank.bsky.social and the Peekbank team. It's a deep-dive into a large looking-while-listening dataset (>3000 children!), evaluating what analytic and design choices really matter for measurement osf.io/preprints/ps...

I had a paper desk rejected from a journal that gave me a grant to do the study they desk rejected. They said the topic "had been settled"

Totally, we will become compliant by doing less things than we are doing now.

For those dealing with ADA II compliance, we are told anything we link from our websites should also be compliant, including e.g. code/stimuli/preprints on OSF. I'm not willing to unlink, but also not willings to go back to studies from years ago and reformat by Latex files to be screen readable?

Also, are people getting grants because they slid extra info in their biosketch? I doubt it

This is how our admin also interpreted it, but I feel like it’s pretty useless. I don’t think reviewers will know which sentence matches which paper and which ones might not have been cited.

Right!?! We're getting the advice to be extra cautious and not include any in-text citations, but then the narrative feels weird and inaccurate without them?

Federica Bulgarelli @fedebulgarelli.bsky.social · 22/01/2026
The new NIH Biosketch instructions state that in the Contributions to Science: "you can reference up to five products" but that "no citations allowed". Thoughts on whether we should remove all in text citations to be safe, or whether this strictly refers to the lists of citations? #NIH #NIHGrants

We want to record a set of stimuli featuring children, thoughts on how to do this so they can be shared/reused? Does a parental release like for data sharing on e.g. Databrary suffice? Do you situate it inside a "task" so the consent process is clearer? #devscisky #psychsky
