I guess it serves as an outlet for the part of Twitter that used to be the “thrilled to announce that I have…” crowd

If you aren't familiar with Zenodo, it's worth learning more about. We have been using it to share data and code for a while and are in general very happy with it. In particular, the pipeline from a Github release to a Zenodo DOI for code is really slick.

Given the changes happening to @cos.io and the OSF, I think a lot of researchers will be looking a bit more nervously at the durability of the open components of their pipelines.

That’s so exciting!!! Really looking forward to it!

Has anyone in the #fnirs community tried this? It looks promising

Apparently I have a small but growing following of limnologists (I had to look that up), have I been added to a list of limnology researchers without knowing it?

I've been promoted to Associate Professor and awarded tenure! Thanks to my students, colleagues, and mentors for helping me on this journey!

This looks so useful! Thanks for developing it - I’m looking forward to trying it out! Have you by any chance compared this to PHYCAA+?

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Definitely looking forward to trying this method!

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

I really like this package! Lots of potential for my field (neuroscience) as well

@getcoldturkey.com i love your software & have tried it successfully myself. Have you had thoughts about a version teachers/professors could ask students to install & the timer is synchronized (everyone starts and stops at the same time) and the file gets saved to a common location?

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

congrats! Is there a preprint version of the article? I can’t access this version

I was asked to give a guest lecture this morning for the Health Sciences Department on brain aging @carleton.ca. Sometimes it's really neat to speak to people outside your usual bubble (in my case, Psychology/Cognitive Science). Students across many fields are doing such cool and interesting work!

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

This is awesome! Do you know if this measure correlates with the attention squared tasks of Draheim/Engel fame?

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

I've changed my approach to reading & reviewing papers. Rather than reading on my computer, I read on my e-ink device (supernote) & mark them up there, then they're synchronized back to my computer, where I summarize the notes in a document. This has been much better for close reading! #academia

I can understand if it’s on purpose, sometimes though the weak LOR is the only thing in the application that stands out (including compared to other glowing letters). Then you‘re left wondering if the person KNOWS something, or if they didn‘t have time to write a strong letter

210

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Reading applications for NSERC/OGS, I think there should be a course on how to write excellent letters of recommendation. Some things shouldn't be brought up in LORs (they are actively detrimental or irrelevant). Positive points should be concrete. LORs that are too short aren't helpful. #academia

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Very cool - and useful for generating predictions/simulations based on pilot data (if you think the pilot data is representative)

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

it is - but now you also have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that can take phone calls! I still take mine out sometimes, but stick with it - you’ll find you’re less tired in the evening from active listening all day

Hi #canadian researchers - please sign this petition to help ensure funding isn’t cut to tri council agencies (NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR). We’re looking at potential 15% cuts to ALL federal spending including grants win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

Teaching graduate statistics is such a wonderful experience - I love being in the position where I can say here are all these cool resources, here's what you can do, here's how to do good science #academicsky #R

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

Definitely had a few, but not quite that many all at once. Block and report them

This is such cool work Hunter - by any chance did you look at whether the participants had prosthetics?

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

Mostly looking at language loss with dementia progression & new ways of assessing that carefully. Lots of implications for how we should measure language and cognition in the presence of cognitive decline before making inferences about cognitive reserve though!

Forgot to tag @marcocalabria.bsky.social - and it appears Boon Lead Tee is not on Bluesky

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

Fantastic #AAIC session on Language as a Lens chaired by Dr. Marco Calabria and Dr. Boon Lead Tee. This was such an exciting session & I love the integration of new technology and tools for assessing language and its relation to dementia and cognition.

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

This is a great initiative @nirx-nirs.bsky.social - do you do something similar?

000

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

I wonder if #AI will close academic discourse even further as people mistrust people they don’t already know. We were already being flooded with papers pre-A.I., now we need a way to verify quality in an era when the internet is being hit with a tsunami of content. #academia

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Maybe this is what print newspapers and letter mail needs to recover…

John Anderson 🇨🇦 @janderz8.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

Would it be possible to have ONE sign on for all journals? It would be absolutely glorious to have a single place to submit, track your review assignments etc. Going through the dance of what's your password for Elsevier/Cambridge/Sage etc journal X, reset, login every time is getting old. #academia

The Royal Society is offering £4 million per researcher for scientists in the USA who want to move to the UK. The money offered is £30 million in all for all the Fellowships. These Faraday Fellowships are for 5 to 10 years.

To any international #U.S. bound students who may have had their lives upturned by recent events, please consider #Carleton, consider #Canada. I am open to applications from graduate students #academia.

My mac has started making an ominous clicking noise - time to make sure the Time Machine backup is current…

Looks very cool, would also be useful for studying older adults

Original plotting was with easytopo, but it’s easy enough to replot using surfice.

Easytopo outputs for a two-back minus one-back contrast.

Great to see some of the lab’s first #fNIRS data come through (this is HbO2 for a 2-Back -1-Back contrast)

Saw this quotation the other day & it resonates “You need to be brave enough to be bad at something new.” I may pin this one to my office door

Every year I get to write an annual report. Inevitably I start tackling this only grudgingly, but then, as I start to fill this out, I see the incredible work the team has accomplished over the past year which is humbling and inspiring. This year was great, I can’t wait for next year! #academia

Interesting, I found this link provides a good (open access) tutorial via the easystats package in R easystats.github.io/parameters/a...
