Psych Science has retracted Ariely & Wertenbroch (2002). The second author requested the retraction. Both authors agreed to it. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... So grateful to @datacolada.bsky.social for these blog posts and the work behind them: datacolada.org/138 and datacolada.org/139 1/2

Are preregs just a way for people to virtual signal now? Comparing pregregs to published papers is very sobering. Also shout out to @debruine.bsky.social and @lakens.bsky.social for metacheck and regcheck @ianhussey.mmmdata.io for making this easy!

Have you ever tried to combine Positron, renv, brms/CmdStan, Quarto, and Docker into a reproducible scientific workflow in R? I didn't think so. Here is my attempt. #openscience #rstats #positron inspired by: @andrew.heiss.phd @matti.vuorre.com @mc-stan.org github.com/rich-ramsey/...

GitHub - rich-ramsey/positron-workflow: This project presents a minimal reproducible workflow template for cognitive neuroscience research using Positron, R, Bayesian modelling, and Docker.

If you find yourself doing a lot of scientific peer-review, then maybe a template would help save you time? Here is one written in Quarto that renders to PDF via Typst (with minimal fuss, hopefully!). #OpenScience #Rstats github.com/rich-ramsey/...

For folks who regularly preregister their research, I put together a Quarto preregistration template that renders to PDF via Typst. It closely follows the original template by @bartlettje.bsky.social. #OpenScience #Rstats github.com/rich-ramsey/...

A welcome - and long overdue - step. But while it’s necessary, it’s deeply insufficient - and must be accompanied by urgent action to help bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and an end to all arms sales to Israel.

Speak out - name it as genocide - and then act. End all arms sales, impose a wide range of sanctions and call for the arrest and trial of all those guilty of war crimes, including prime minister Netanyahu.

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal. And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.
