New preprint! We (among others) have shown that the forced-response task is a promising way to study habits in the human lab. But its increasingly popular use is associated by increasing variability in task parameters and data analysis options, creating a potential “garden of forking paths"...

Globally, the hottest August in observed history is just about to end. In Western Europe, the summer of 2026 (June, July, August) has been the warmest as well. Compared to this year, 1976 (the famous UK summer) and 2003 (the hottest EU summer so far) look like amateurs in terms of heat (1/2)
