Walter de Staplecat, Simpkin IV, Teabag, Balthasar and Benny D Cat take the stage as we meet the college cats of Oxford. And, of course, Magdalen’s Ozymandias. Read on for our photo special. (Includes a cat map.) oxfordclarion.uk/college-cats...

College cats of Oxford

Once upon a time, we featured an image of Magdalen's kitten, Ozymandias, in our newsletter. We figured it might be a gentle contrast to our regular diet of planning and local politics. The grey ball ...

We released a pretty cool dataset/preprint today looking at video game play, cognition, time-use and a ton of self-reported psych measures at osf.io/preprints/ps... with @nballou.bsky.social @matti.vuorre.com @thomashakman.bsky.social @rpsychologist.com and @shuhbillskee.bsky.social RRs coming soon

Survey administration schedule across the
12-week study period. Participants completed biweekly
surveys (orange) every two weeks, with US participants
additionally completing daily surveys (blue) for the first
30 days. Cognitive tests (green) were administered during
biweekly surveys at weeks 1, 5, and 9. Gray circles indicate
days with no scheduled surveys. Retention percentages
show the proportion of baseline participants (N=1978)
who were still active at each measurement week (defined
as having completed either a daily or biweekly survey at
any time after that week)

Diurnal play across Xbox, Nintendo, Steam.

Sample of daily gaming patterns and mental wellbeing for three representative participants. Stacked bars
represent total daily playtime across platforms. Orange line shows biweekly mental wellbeing scores (short WEMWBS)
measured at six study waves. Participants were selected from those closest to the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of total
playtime, prioritizing those with the most varied multi-platform gaming behavior. Participant IDs: p9009984081 (25th
percentile), p8809196928 (50th percentile), p7162729307 (75th percentile)

Are #smartphones and #socialmedia harming a generation? This is a hotly debated and often polarizing debate. So we surveyed over 120 experts on the topic to see where there was genuine consensus (or not), like experts have previous done for climate change. See our paper: osf.io/preprints/ps...

I really enjoyed reading this world view in Nature about the importance of exploratory research in the social sciences by @balazsaczel.bsky.social and am wondering what people think. Do you generally agree with his point? 🧪@natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Let the data talk: embrace exploratory research

Open-ended research is essential to building solid hypotheses in the social sciences — without it, even the best-planned analyses can fail.

I'm so glad that we are rebuilding #AcademicTwitter and #ScienceTwitter! They were extremely important communities, and their decline was a genuine loss. I am grateful and hopeful that Bluesky is giving us the chance to rebuild these remarkable human networks. #AcademicSky #ScienceSky

Horrifying statistics obtained by UCU show 61% of undergraduate tutorials at Oxford colleges done by junior academics on fixed-term contracts or in hourly-paid roles. Colleges pay many below minimum wage in the UK, after accounting for preparation and marking. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
