Q: If a student's project does not find support for their hypotheses, how should they present it at a conference, given that all would be null findings? Any tips on what they should focus on to generate useful discussions/feedback? Repost appreciated!

Race isn’t a ‘biological reality,’ contrary to recent political claims − here’s how scientific consensus on race developed in the 20th century
An executive order critiques the idea that race is a human invention. But that’s exactly what modern science supports.

Extremely useful and timely meta-analysis on the impact of increasing the speed of lecture recordings - 1.25x and 1.5x no/low cost that is probably balanced by increased engagement but 2x and 2.5x impairs learning. #AcademicSky link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Increasing the playback speed of video lectures is popular amongst students as a time saving strategy, but does this negatively impact test performance? Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to examine the effect of increasing video lecture playback speed on content test performance. A meta-regression with robust variance estimation was used to aggregate data from 110 effect sizes, stemming from 24 studies of learning from lecture videos. The results demonstrated that increasing the playback speed of lectures can negatively impact content test performance, but this cost is small (and often non-significant) for speeds 1.5 x and slower. In addition, we found no evidence of moderation of this cost by a number of theoretically important variables (e.g., test type, lecture duration). These results contribute important insights into a popular study strategy and one that is likely to be a mainstay in educational settings for years to come.

There is an interesting discussion to be had on this topic. Validation of scientific findings is key to a robust science. So are theory development (we have shaky grounds in psych 🙈), transparency (sharing materials), and developing a scientific mindset(sometimes rare even among scientists).

"In a world of endless resources, you should replicate every study," Oransky says. But resources are limited and the cost of doing science has "vastly outpaced inflation," he says. In @axios.com, on the Trump administration's plans for replication -- including studies of autism and vaccines.

The Trump administration wants more studies replicated. That won't be easy
A key question is which studies get repeated and, with limited resources, at what expense.

Nobody could have predicted this:
NYT: As conservatives fought against cancel culture on college campuses, they developed a particular fondness for the First Amendment. It was un-American, they argued, to punish someone for exercising their right to speak freely.

Today, however, many of those same conservatives, now in power in state and federal government, are behind a growing crackdown on political expression at universities, in ways that try to sidestep the Constitution’s free-speech  guarantees.
