I see no obvious reason why this cannot be fairly easily implemented at every journal that currently asks "was ethical approval obtained?". #NulliusInVerba How about it, editors? Paging @rickcarlsson.bsky.social @simine.com, and please everyone feel free to CC journal editors of your acquaintance.

What riles me up about “people tried to shut down PP research” is that Cuddy’s own coauthor-turned-critic Carney guest-edited a whole special issue of Registered Reports on Power Posing (incl a meta-analysis), which shows strong evidence against PP even though most authors clearly weren’t sceptics.
