COS is announcing important changes to the Open Science Framework (OSF). OSF Projects—used for project collaboration, file mgmt, & storage—is being phased out as an active workspace over the next 6 months. This change does not affect persistence & accessibility of existing public projects. (🧵1/2)

The NYU department of psychology is also reinstating the GRE as a requirement for PHD admissions. I heard Yale and Harvard are as well. Now Penn too. If you are applying to psych PHD programs this year be sure to take the exam.

🧵 New preprint with my advisor, Alex Shaw! We asked: What does “popularity” actually mean? Is it a distinct status category with specific features? We turned to elementary-schoolers, who have just begun to experience their own "popularity hierarchies," for some answers. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Reposting information about our postprint here: If Gretchen Wieners tells Regina George, “You can’t sit with us,” children know Gretchen is now dominant and Regina is now subordinate. But how do Gretchen and Regina rank relative to Cady Heron, who was uninvolved in this conflict?

From the movie Mean Girls, Gretchen telling Regina, "You can't sit with us!"
