Mixed feelings about this one. The Arday case is painful, and I get vulnerable in this piece. But the message is important, and it draws some of my favorite research, led by Brittany Torrez with @mwkraus.bsky.social . My latest, in Times Higher Ed. www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/blac...

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work.

I wrote about a reason not to use generative AI in your writing that I haven't seen anyone talking about. Once I realized this, banning GenAI in our lab's writing became a no-brainer. Feel free to share, I think this is probably useful especially for trainees: www.carlsonlab.bio/thoughts/the...

The only reason you’ll ever need not to write with AI — The Carlson Lab
Over the last year, our lab has been developing a policy on AI use. To do this, we did three main things: We read a lot of academic publications and tech news. We set up an #ai channel on our la...

We need to change norms around sexual harassment Yesterday Tessa West spoke up about a sexual harassment complaint she filed against John Jost. Not only is he a senior colleague in the dept of psychology, but he is one of the most prominant figures in the field of social and political psychology.

Why exams need to be closed-book, no-electronics allowed if they are to meaningfully reflect learning. (Gray scores are for in-person exams, orange ones for take-home).

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Within the next year, we'll be looking for folks to help expand this website into "ManyScale". We want to help you use this code to make your own repository for your subfield. SelfScale, EmotoScale, PoliticoScale, etc. If that sounds exciting to you, please reach out!

To help instructors diversify course content, we’re building a database of articles focused on the relationship experiences of marginalized and underrepresented populations. Do you have any to recommend (perhaps one you’ve written yourself or read recently)? Recommend it here: tinyurl.com/IARRrecs

Dear academics We could dramatically reduce our administrative workload if we all just agreed not to ask for reference letters until we made our list of finalists. This is massive collective action problem has already been solved by… *checks notes* …every other industry on earth.

One key skill in science and in life is knowing when to leave. I switched labs in my second year of grad school, then switched jobs in my second year on the tenure track. Better to admit that you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room.

Is there an open-access survey platform that's like Qualtrics, but is free? Anything besides google forms? I'm putting together a list of research tools that increase access to the research process for people around the world (R, Jamovi, Zotero, etc.)

Is there recent research on best practices for attention checks/bot detection in survey research? Or do you have experience with ones that do versus do not work anymore?

This paper reports on a survey of journal editors’ perceptions of departures from pre-registrations, and provides a template for transparently tracking and disclosing them (I really like the latter). Worth thinking about incorporating in your lab’s SOPs.
