Sad to see, but sounds necessary. The cost of maintaining all current features of OSF would be $4-5 million/yr -- far more than I ever realized. This should serve as a reminder to us all that open science is not a service an external group provides, it's a responsibility that lies with all of us.

As a proud SIPS member since 2019, receiving a SIPS Commendation for ManyBeds means a great deal to me ♥️ A huge thank you to SIPS and to the kind person who nominated our project – whoever you are! 🙏 Make sure to check out the other commended and awarded projects as well. They’re doing amazing work!

Incredibly proud to be a part of ManyBeds, a multi lab replication effort of targeted memory reactivation during sleep, which was just honoured with a SIPS commendation! I'm very excited about what will come out of this (and then never shut up about it).

Puzzled that an #lme4 model that didn't converge before now reported no issues, I found that as of lme4 1.1-38, "derivative-based convergence checks are now skipped for models with large data". I can't find any more information - what's best practice here? Assume the model is "fine"? 1/3 #rstats

Fresh preprint! Reward Signals Drive Encoding of Reward-Item Associations During Motivated Learning osf.io/preprints/ps... We present evidence that mesolimbic activity during motivated encoding reflects source memory for rewards, which later guides goal-directed retrieval. 1/12

How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation? #Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

preprint alert 🚨 1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? In our recent study, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a hybrid simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇

Proud to share this new meta-science article—our analysis of 255 preclinical opioid addiction studies highlights a pressing need for better transparency and reproducibility. Big thanks to Justine Blackwell and @alexh.bsky.social – it was an honor working with you on this project! :)

An article about data visualization was retracted 1.5 years after I pointed out errors. The notice says that "concerns were raised". I spend dozens of hours contacting authors and editors, reproducing analyses, and following up on ignored emails. But I'm not mentioned in the retraction notice.

I handed in my PhD thesis. That’s it. That’s the post.
Julia sits in a chair in her office and holds her printed thesis. She is laughing and not looking into the camera. Julia looks relieved. Green leaves of plants surround the photo and dangle from a cupboard next to her. Behind her is a wall poster with an aerial view of New York City.
