New preprint! Psychometric networks are often summarized with centrality indices that are sometimes useful and other times not. We show that the "most central" node's influence depends heavily on the configuration of edges in the network; its degree distribution. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Happy to share that our large-scale network analysis is now out in @nathumbehav.nature.com We show that networks are often supported by too little evidence from the data for results to be reported with confidence, not meaning that results are flawed but rather suggests caution in interpretation.

So much for free speech. Let's make this cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social go viral. I'm married to @tealcartoons.bsky.social so I might be biased, but cartoons have long played a vital role in shaping political debate - both past and present. This type of censorship is deeply troubling.
Screenshot of a tweet from Mike Luckovich informing people that this his cartoon was taken down by Twitter/X due to violation of guidelines. The cartoon shows Elon Musk with bags of money behind him. Standing in front of him are three emaciated figures holding empty bowls that read "World's poorest." Musk is saying to them: "No more free lunch!"

the issue is that, sometimes, authors try to pass off a turd sandwich as a gourmet burger, reviewers object, and then, when the final product comes out and it’s a gourmet burger (admittedly with Oreos), everyone is like “look at those Oreos” and not “wow, so much better than a turd sandwich!”
